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]]. As of ''Super Mario Odyssey'', Dorrie is referred to as "it".

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]].

Three 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]]. In ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', a Dorrie Boat is used in the minigame [[Dorrie Pedal-Paddle]]; Dorrie Boats also appear in the lake at the center of [[Roll 'em Raceway]].

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''.

Dorrie appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', marking the character's first appearance in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. After connecting [[Lottacoins Island]], Dorrie washes up on the beach of [[Shipshape Island]] with injuries. A side quest centers on retrieving the medicine in [[Desolatt Island]] that can heal Dorrie. After the [[Color-Full Sea]] [[Great Lighthouse Island]] is relit, Dorrie joins [[IDLE]], along with [[Princess Peach]] and [[Starlow]]. Together, they set off to explore the seas of [[Concordia]]. Dorrie wears a yellow-orange scarf around its neck while with IDLE. If [[Adaphne]]'s upgrade to Shipshape Island was chosen over [[Technikki]]'s, Dorrie helps Mario, Luigi, and [[Cozette]] escape from [[Fortress Zokket]] while [[Reclusa]] transforms it into the [[Soli-Tree]].
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]].
 
Once Concordia is restored, Dorrie returns to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].
