Template:Species-infobox Dokanto (generically referred to by Nintendo Power and Prima Games as ants[1][2]) are a variety of Antotto with head-mounted cannons found in the Macro Zone's first stage in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. From the cannon on top of their heads, small deadly pellets shoot out, similar to how Snifits attack. These pellets can easily be dodged by jumping over. They can be defeated with a simple jump or a fireball.
