Dogadon
Fungi Forest
To fight Dogadon a second time at Fungi Forest, the Kongs must feed 300 Bananas to Scoff, allowing Troff to reopen the boss door. The door selects Chunky Kong for the rematch against Dogadon.
When Chunky enters the boss fight, he hears stomping and nervously looks around. Dogadon emerges out from the lava, slowly climbs back onto the platform, then creeps behind Chunky, and finally lets out a roar. Chunky turns around and grovels in fear. Dogadon flies to a corner of the stage, and the battle starts.
The entire battle is the same up until after Dogadon shoots fifteen fireballs in the third round. After he does this, Dogadon inhales deeply, with yellow rays appearing from his chest, and spits out a large blast of fire. It shapes itself into a large wall of fire slowly moving toward Chunky. He can only avoid it by jumping around it from a ledge. Chunky must then quickly throw another TNT Barrel at Dogadon, who, like usual, falls into the lava and moves to the adjacent corner. After returning on the stage, Dogadon flies in a circle, then stomps on the platform three times. The stage platform starts to slowly sink in the lava, and the screen begins to vibrate. Dogadon points at Chunky, appearing to be scolding him. The boss battle essentially becomes a timed one, as Chunky must defeat Dogadon before sinking into the lava, which immediately ends the battle. It takes about 100 seconds for the platform to sink in the lava entirely.
Dogadon spits out five more fireballs at Chunky. However, when Chunky hits Dogadon a fourth time, it does not backward into the lava. It just lets out a lengthy screech, and a Chunky Barrel appears in place of the TNT Barrel. Chunky must go into the barrel to utilize his Hunky Chunky ability and throw a series of punches or Primate Punches at Dogadon. After a few seconds, Dogadon recovers and continues spitting fireballs at a fast rate toward Chunky. The pattern repeats until Chunky punches Dogadon enough times, usually being after four or five more rounds.
After taking a final hit, Dogadon is flung backward into the wall. It lets out a final scream (and appears to be attempting another fire wall), but suddenly falls into the lava. As the lava is bubbling, Dogadon's head emerges briefly, looking at his body burning in flames. He shakes his fist at Chunky, and lets out a last scream before sinking into the lava, marking his ultimate defeat. The fifth Boss Key jumps out of the lava and onto the platform. The platform stops sinking, allowing Chunky to safely collect the Boss Key.
Aftermath
When the Kongs first enter Crystal Caves, a cutscene shows King K. Rool, confident that his "fiery little pet" (Dogadon) has defeated the Kongs. The viewing area in front of K. Rool's throne opens, and Dogadon peeks out from the corner. As Dogadon comes walks into view, K. Rool notices him and asks Dogadon if he has dealt with the Kongs. Dogadon describes the awful experience he has had, including how the Kongs threw TNT barrels at him, knocked him into the lava, and that his wings have been singed. He refers to how Chunky punched him, "One of them got really big and punched me in the face" and his broken nose. The window closes, and Dogadon says that he needs to lie down from feeling completely unwell.
Dogadon's last appearance is at about two minutes in the 101% secret ending, where a 15-second take shows him roaring at Diddy. Dogadon then notices a small, yellow Gnawty behind him, and he flees behind Diddy. Dogadon is crying while the Gnawty makes squeaking noises at him.
