'''DonDoguu''' (ドンドグー), known in English as '''Gorem-2''', is a doguu (clay figure) type [[Medarot]] that first appeared in the original [[Medarot 1|Medarot game]].


== Description ==
== Description ==


DonDoguu's design is entirely based on japanese [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog%C5%AB doguus]. Robottle-wise, DonDoguu is an entirely defense-based Medarot. Its parts are mostly used to absorb shooting attacks, and can be proven to be an annoyance against certain teams.
DonDoguu's overall design is based heavily on a Japanese ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogū doguu]'', a type of clay figure that was produced in prehistoric Japan. Its greenish-grey coloration and arm designs, meanwhile, come from bronze bells (''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dōtaku doutaku]'') from ancient Japan. DonDoguu is capable of hovering, and its main function is defending against a variety of specialized shooting attacks.


It's english name, Gorem-2, comes from the fact it is the second DGU-type Medarot shown in the anime series, being the first one it's successor, [[OkeDoguu]], whose english name is ''Gorem''. ''Gorem'' is a deformation of the word [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golem golem], which bears resemblance with doguus solely on the fact both are made from clay.
Despite being the first of its series, DonDoguu is named '''Gorem-2''' in the English releases due to its successor [[OkeDoguu]] (Gorem) appearing before it in the anime. The name "Gorem" simply comes from "golem".

DonDoguu (ドンドグー), known in English as Gorem-2, is a doguu (clay figure) type Medarot that first appeared in the original Medarot game.

Description

DonDoguu's overall design is based heavily on a Japanese doguu, a type of clay figure that was produced in prehistoric Japan. Its greenish-grey coloration and arm designs, meanwhile, come from bronze bells (doutaku) from ancient Japan. DonDoguu is capable of hovering, and its main function is defending against a variety of specialized shooting attacks.

Despite being the first of its series, DonDoguu is named Gorem-2 in the English releases due to its successor OkeDoguu (Gorem) appearing before it in the anime. The name "Gorem" simply comes from "golem".

In the games

DonDoguu is a hover-type Medarot that specializes in Negate Gunpowder in its Medarot 1, 2, R, and 2 Core appearances to defend against Missile and Napalm attacks. From Medarot 4 to Medarot Brave, however, its arms were changed to use Negate Optical and Negate Gravity instead, giving it immunity to all three types of attack and making it much more useful as a defensive Medarot. From Medarot DS onwards, these became the Gunpowder Guard, Optical Guard, and Gravity Guard actions, which are similar but lack the passive effect of making DonDoguu immune to those attacks (the action must be used first).

In Medarot 4
