Its story
Lifestyle
It is a heavy eater, dull and a poor hunter, so it teams with Tatsugiri, which lures prey then orders the attack. Loyal, it shelters Tatsugiri in its mouth, and its thrashing raises great waves.
Name origin
James Turner designed Dondozo and its Shiny colors. The name may blend don, "lord" in Spanish, with dōzo, "please, help yourself"; it suggests a sushi chef and the wels catfish.
