- “I-I'm sorry, master, he was too quick for me. B-But I'll get him next time...
”
- —Army Dillo, Donkey Kong 64
Army Dillo is a gargantuan Army that is a boss in the game Donkey Kong 64. He is appointed by King K. Rool to be the Army guardian of not one but two keys to K. Lumsy's cage. In his first fight with Donkey Kong, Dillo is equipped with two large retractable side-mounted fireball cannons, and a metal shell. The battle mainly consists of Army Dillo retreating into his shell and shooting fireballs from his cannons. The only time Donkey Kong is able to injure Army Dillo is when the Army peeks out from under his shell, giving DK a short amount of time to throw a TNT Barrel at Army Dillo. When Army Dillo is hit by the barrel, the explosion throws him into the air and his shell short-circuits, electrocuting Army Dillo in the process. After this, Army Dillo curls up into his shell and rolls around, trying to run over Donkey Kong. A few seconds after this, Army Dillo rolls back to a different position and tries to hit Donkey Kong with fireballs again. This procedure repeats until Army Dillo is hit with a third TNT barrel. When this happens, the short-circuiting of Army Dillo's shell also causes the fireball cannons to be blown off his shell. Seeing this, Army Dillo runs away, leaving the first key to K. Lumsy's cage.
