Description I felt it would be fun to make a study of every Zelda character once in awhile, both canon and OC that I have drawn or will come to draw in my series and maybe shed light as to why I chose their designs.

"Watch it, they have explosive personalities... " -Darunia

Full name and other titles: Baby Dodongo, Dodongo Larva

Appearances: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask (canon) The Gerudo Wars, Time's Menagerie (non-canon)

Design Notes: These little fellows have so many potential uses. In our society it's obviously horrible to use your children as live ammunition, but the Dodongo's morals are vastly different apparently. Kidding, they don't use their kids as live ammunition but much like in Ocarina of Time these ugly little freaks explode on death. I kept the design mostly the same as the canon version, since I think the Dodongo are one of those special Zelda creatures that don't need an overhaul at all.

Is this Twilight Princess Style? Because I think i have seen official artwork of the Baby Dodongo, and this looks a little different.

I suppose it's my own style for my Zelda manga though I based it off the OoT Dodongo.

Why is it Twilit? Or is that a volcanic glow, because if it is, the shadows have to be replaced with heat ripples in the air red fog.

Weren't they in Twilight Princess as well? Except they were on fire instead of exploding?

I think they were, though I'd consider them slightly older then these legless babies.

The first time I fought one of those, it scared the crap outta me when it blew up.
