Death Burst. If the dodongo's heart points fall to 0, it abruptly explodes with a thunderous boom. Each creature within 5 feet must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 21 (6d6) thunder damage.

Siege Monster. The dodongo deals double damage to objects and structures.


Actions

Multiattack. The dodongo makes two attacks.

Crushing Roll. The dodongo moves a distance up to its speed in a straight line, passing through the spaces of other creatures. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. It makes one slam attack against each creature it passes through.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d10 + 4) piercing damage.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (3d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage, and a Medium or smaller creature falls prone.

Fire Bolt. Ranged Spell Attack: +1 to hit, range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d10) fire damage.

Fire Breath (Recharge 5-6). The dodongo exhales fire in a 20-foot cone. Each creature in this area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 40 (9d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

“The problem is those things have skin as hard as rock. Even with my strength, it's a waste to hit them. I can't even make a dent!”
— Unnamed goron, Four Swords Adventures

A dodongo that has grown into advanced stages of adulthood. A dodongo which has grown to this size has always managed to grow four legs, as it couldn't even hope to move on just two. Not only is it as much as double the size of the more common dodongo, but it has begun to incorporate rocks or even gemstones into its body. This only makes its sturdy scales even more impenetrable. This rocky body, a rolling attack, and newfound habit of ingesting gemstones—all traits shared by gorons—gives this stage the sometimes-used moniker "dongorongo."
     This monstrous dragon is the nightmare of any small town. Even a small militia may be unable to take it down before it burns and crushes the hamlet in search of evermore food for its hulking frame.
     Environment: Caves, Ruins, Volcanic
