| In Japan, plesiosaurs are known as long-necked dragons (「首長竜」), which is possibly the reason Dorrie was originally referred to as a sea dragon (「海竜」, written in hiragana as「かいりゅう」 in ''Super Mario 64''<ref>{{cite|author=しゅーや|language=ja|date=October 8, 2016|url=youtu.be/V07NDDBZ40Y?list=PLXSg7_JSVEYIU1haq0UNlFtK14afpTeli&t=518|timestamp=08:38|title=【実況】絵の世界へ飛び込め!スーパーマリオ64をツッコミ実況part6|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 10, 2019}}</ref>); this reference is kept in the Western translations as well, such as the English and French ones. Additionally, Dorrie shares its Japanese name with [[Bahamutt]].

| Dorrie was originally referred to as a "he" in ''Super Mario 64''. The strategy guides refer to Dorrie as a "her", which was subsequently used in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''{{'}}s [[Dorrie Dip]]. ''Super Mario Odyssey'' and ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' refer to Dorrie as "it".

| |
| In ''Super Mario 64'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its Nintendo DS remake]], Dorrie lives in an underground lake in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]]. He is the focus of the first mission of the course, [[Swimming Beast in the Cavern]]. He constantly swims in circles, but he gladly gives [[Mario]] a ride if he gets on his back. It is also possible to steer Dorrie from there; Mario loses control of movement for a moment, then the player can control Dorrie by facing the direction they want to go. [[Ground Pound|Ground-pound]]ing on his back causes him to lower his neck, allowing Mario to climb onto his head to reach higher areas, such as the entrance to the [[Behind the Waterfall|Cavern of the Metal Cap]]. A sign near the lake in which he takes residence states that he might eat visitors if they get too close, although he is actually harmless. Dorrie is referred to as female in the ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' and [[Prima Games]] guides.<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=59|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|quote=Ignore the signs that warn you about becoming the sea dragon's lunch.

|
| The remake provides Dorrie with an updated design, with the most noticeable change being a pair of goggles that are highly similar to the ones worn by the [[Dolphin]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. He reprises his role as in ''Super Mario 64'' by giving the player a ride wherever they want to go, although technically he is no longer needed for the first mission, because the island in the middle is now much lower and therefore easily accessible. Dorrie wears [[Wario Cap|Wario's cap]] only during the first mission of the Hazy Maze Cave, unless the player is playing as [[Wario]] himself. Also, while the player can still ground-pound on Dorrie's back, it is no longer required, as he now lowers his head if the player approaches the base of his neck.

| | Dorrie also, of course, appears in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. However, in the game, he now wears goggles, and more resembles the [[Dolphin]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. He fulfills the same role as in ''Super Mario 64''. When [[Wario]]'s playable, Dorrie has sometimes [[Wario's Cap]] on his head (of course, unless the [[player]] uses Wario). |

| Dorrie returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and appears in two sizes.

| Dorrie appears in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where it can be seen wearing a top hat and swimming in the [[Lake Kingdom]], [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]] and [[Darker Side]]. Purple and yellow-colored Dorries also appear in the [[Seaside Kingdom]], where they wear hats and are associated with the Crazy Cap shop. Additionally, a Rubber Dorrie can be purchased from the Lake Kingdom's [[Crazy Cap]] shop as a souvenir for the [[Odyssey]]. Dorrie is referred to by using genderless pronouns.<ref>{{cite|quote=This gentle creature spends its days swimming gracefully in Lake Lamode.

[[Power Moon]]s are sometimes found attached to Dorries' back or belly, or flying above their heads. Attacking a Dorrie with a [[Ground Pound]] or a [[Cap Throw]] startles it. One [[coin]] is produced when Dorrie's head is hit, which is possible five times in a row.

| [[File:MP4 Right Oar Left Ending.png|thumb|left|A boat in the shape of Dorrie in ''Mario Party 4'']]
| | Dorrie is a recurring minor character in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], although only directly appearing in a few games, such as ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''; a lot of aquatic equipment in the ''Mario Party'' series, such as boats, are based on Dorrie. |
| In the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], Dorrie has appeared in some of the earlier installments. In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', Dorrie makes a small cameo in [[Mystery Land]] in the background lake, with his appearance resembling the photograph of the {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}}. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', Dorrie, referred to by the in-game text as a female, is seen in an Item Minigame called [[Dorrie Dip]], and she also appears in the background of the board [[Creepy Cavern]].
| |
|
| |
|
| Two of the ''Mario Party'' games feature Dorrie in the form of aquatic equipment used by the player characters. In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', Dorrie is seen as a paddle boat in the minigame [[Right Oar Left?]] In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', red, blue, green, and yellow plastic Dorries appear in the minigame [[Tug-o-Dorrie]].
| | ====''Mario Party Advance''==== |
| | In ''Mario Party Advance'', a Dorrie reveals that he is lonely after scaring away [[Mr. E (Mario Party Advance)|Mr. E]]. If [[Yoshi]] comes, they'll become friends and Dorrie gives him a [[Gaddget]], the [[Soil Sonar]]. The credits show that Yoshi ought to visit him soon. It says that he hasn't seen him in a while, or as it says, ages. |

|
| Dorrie's most major role in the series is ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. Dorrie resides at [[Loch Dorrie]], and reveals that he is lonely after scaring away [[Mr. E (Mario Party Advance)|Mr. E]]. If [[Yoshi]] visits him, they become friends and Dorrie gives him a [[Gaddget]], the [[Soil Sonar]]. However, the credits state that Yoshi has not seen him in ages. This is the final game to use Dorrie's original design over his updated design introduced in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.
| | ====''Mario Party 5''==== |
| | | In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', Dorrie, among with many other colored dorries, appears in the battle minigame ''[[Tug-o-Dorrie]]''. This proves Dorrie is a species and not a single character. |

| [[File:MRSOH Allegra & Dorrie.jpg|thumb|Allegra and the Dorrie rush to help the heroes defeat Kanya in ''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope'']] | |
| A Dorrie appears in [[The Last Spark Hunter]] DLC in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' as the friend of [[Allegra]]. [[Kanya]] told Allegra about it being "too late" to save her friend, causing Allegra to run off in regret and sorrow for her friend. When the heroes catch up with her, Allegra reunites with the Dorrie, which is imprisoned. Kanya then attacks the heroes with her [[Mecha King Bob-omb]]. After the heroes free the Dorrie, Allegra, the Dorrie, and the heroes unite together to defeat Kanya for good. According to murals found on the planet, the Dorrie is responsible for the start of the [[Melodic Gardens]]' biophonies.

| ;THE DORRIE
| |
| ''By quirk of fate, Allegra's friend, who had been captured by Kanya and used as a pawn, is well known to Mario. It is called a Dorrie, and while its presence on the Melodic Gardens is a mystery, the gifts it brought here are not. Allegra has found a way to use the Dorrie's natural abilities to elevate the planet's biophonies to previously unheard heights - the Dorrie's playfulness turned to music.''

| Dorrie will appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', marking the character's first appearance in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. It is seen carrying [[Princess Peach]] and four unknown characters on its back. Here, Dorrie wears a bandana around its neck, somewhat like [[Plessie]].

| | ==Trivia== |
| | *In the Japanese version of ''Super Mario 64'', Dorrie is referred to as "Doshi", most likely a parody of the Loch Ness Monster (who is commonly referred to by the nickname "Nessie", which is pronounced "Neshi" in Japanese) and [[Yoshi]]. In the game's German version, he is actually called Nessie. Also, the English version of where he is in ''Mario Party Advance'' is punned on Loch Ness, Scotland, where Nessie comes from - Loch Dorrie. |
| | *Dorrie is most likely based off of the prehistoric swimming reptile, the Plesiosaur; which is also what the [[wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|Loch Ness Monster]] is based off of. |
| | *Although Dorrie is male, ''Mario Party 3'' uses feminine pronouns in some mini-games featuring him. |
