'''''Dorrie''''' is a large, friendly Plesiosaurus (or Loch Ness Monster) that was first seen in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. He helps [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and friends cross water or reach higher areas.

The first known Dorrie from ''Super Mario 64'' lives in an underground lake in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]]. He spends his days swimming in circles, but will gladly give [[Mario]] a ride if he gets on his back. It is also possible to steer Dorrie by carefully climbing up onto his head; Mario will lose control of movement for a moment, then the player can control Dorrie by facing the direction they want to go in. [[Ground Pound]]ing on his back or approaching his neck will cause him to lower his neck, making this task easier. A sign near the lake in which he takes residence states that he might eat visitors if they get too close, although he otherwise proves to be a harmless creature.

Dorrie also appears in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. He now wears goggles, and resembles the [[Dolphin]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. He fulfills the same role as in ''Super Mario 64''. When [[Wario]] is unlocked, Dorrie sometimes has [[Wario's Cap]] on his head (unless the player is playing as Wario).

Dorrie returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', and has goggles like in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. Mario can ride on his back to cross large bodies of toxic water in certain levels of [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4]]. If Mario does a [[Ground Pound]] on Dorrie, he will move faster through the water. There are two sizes of Dorrie in this game.

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.

====''Mario Party 2''====

Dorrie makes a small cameo in [[Mystery Land]] in the background lake, resembling the [[wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|Loch Ness Monster]].

====''Mario Party 3''====

Dorrie is seen in an Item Minigame called [[Dorrie Dip]]. He also makes a cameo in the background of the board [[Creepy Cavern]].

====''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.

====''Mario Party 5''====

In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', plastic Dorries appear in the battle minigame [[Tug-o-Dorrie]].

==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.

*Although Dorrie is male, ''Mario Party 3'' uses feminine pronouns in some mini-games featuring him.

*In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', an animal named [[Plessie]] looks similar to Dorrie and with the same task appears.
