The low class monster of the Elder Recess, Dodogama, may not have the great title but it deserves it.

At first, it may look to be just a fat lizard, but soon you learn what this monster is really capable of. The first moments makes it look to be cannon fodder, then it eats its rocks. The Dodogama then shows just how fast it actually is, rapid firing its magma balls at a speed that dwarfs the Raths. Not only that, the explosions do equally as much damage as a Rathalos fireball, AND it has four different variations  to attack you, the others having it fire several at once over a big space. This is no ordinary weakling monster, it can be just as difficult as the large monsters you fought prior to this.

It doesn't even need Turf Wars, when it can simply blast other monsters with its magma balls and stand up to them. In fact, besides Jho it is the most helpful monster to have present in a quest, as it can quickly deal damage to the target monster with ease. Unfortunately the Dodo's luck runs out with Jho and now with the invading Behemoth, as the Dodo is bullied by them in the worst ways.

And look at the colour scheme, it even managed to get one very similar to the Tigrex. Tigrex is the lord of the charges, while Dodo is the lord of the low tier monsters. When Dodorex? It doesn't need to look intimidating, it fact its derpy appearance tricks you into thinking it will be a joke when it is not.

Its a shame though that the low tier monster is miles better than the other monsters in the Elder's Recess, monsters that I liked in the previous games but not here...
