King Dodongo

==Summary==
Infernal Dinosaur: King Dodongo is the boss of Dodongo's Cavern, the second dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
King Dodongo is the leader of the Dodongo sent to the cavern by Ganondorf. This is problematic for the Gorons, as King Dodongo loves to eat them. After the defeat of King Dodongo, Darunia presents Link with the Goron's Ruby.
Interestingly, even though the size of King Dodongo is impressive, he is apparently not the largest one of his kind, as the entrance to his lair is adorned with what appears to be the skull of a Dodongo even bigger than him. There is a stone in the cavern that says, "Giant dead Dodongo... When it sees red, a new way to go will be open." This might imply that it is actually the skeleton of a long-dead Dodongo. Also, what looks like giant Dodongo bones are found supporting the ceiling of the same room. It is still possible that this may simply be a rock shaped like a Dodongo.
