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 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) thunder damage.

Actions

Tail Swipe. The dodongo makes two tail attacks, each against a different target.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d10 + 1) piercing damage.

Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (2d4 + 1) bludgeoning damage.

Fire Breath (Recharge 5-6). The dodongo exhales fire in a 10-foot cone. Each creature in this area must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 18 (4d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

“Watch out for its fiery breath! Use Z Targeting techniques!”
— Navi, Ocarina of Time

An adolescent dodongo, it is several times the size of its infantile stage and has sprouted two powerful limbs. The powerful and thick-armored body of this young dragon has grown so heavy that even with these new limbs, it must continue to drag its body along the ground not unlike a snake.
     With its fire breath and huge fangs, this dodongo will actively predate upon other creatures. It may strike out on its own but most dodongos at this stage still stay close to its nest of origin. Even if this but a child, this dodongo is an incredibly powerful predator capable of roasting entire horses alive—rider included.
     It still retains the peculiar trait of exploding on death, perhaps as a byproduct of whatever organ provides it fiery breath.
     Environment: Caves, Volcanic
