Army Dillo


 * For the DKC enemy, see Army.

Army Dillo is an enourmous Army with a large, heavily-armed iron shell who appeared as the first and sixth boss in Donkey Kong 64.

Description
Donkey Kong first encountered Army Dillo in Jungle Japes. When Donkey Kong entered the jungle arena the sky darkened with thunderclouds and a storm began. Army Dillo then rolled in, popped out of his shell and revealed his two cannons, which then popped to their full size. Army Dillo would hide in his shell, blasting fireballs at Donkey Kong. When he stuck his head out to laugh Donkey Kong would have to toss a TNT Barrel at his head to which his shell would start sparking and thus electrocute him. After doing this three times Army Dillo's cannons would break off. This would send him running away and dropping the first Boss Key to K. Lumsy's cage. He was later seen in K. Rool's throne room (oddly without his shell) explaining that Donkey Kong was too fast for him, but he would get him next time. Furious, King K. Rool glared at Dillo, causing him to faint.

Later on, Army Dillo reappeared in Crystal Caves. Several Kritters where seen pressing buttons on a computer-like machine with a screen showing fire-like patterns, carrying in a huge cannon and banging on Army Dillo's shell. Army Dillo then rolled out of a hatch into the arena. At first the battle was like the first one but after being hit with a TNT barrel he revealed two rockets that let him fly into the air and slam back down to do a shockwave. After being hit by three TNT barrels Dillo would reveal a gigantic cannon almost as big as his body and fly into the air with his rockets, blasting rapid streams of fireballs. He'd then land and blast a giant homing missile. After the missile was destroyed he stuck his head out of his shell to laugh, and when it was hit Army Dillo's shell would explode and he would curl up, fly into the air and disappear, dropping his second key.
