The Dingonek (Odontoleo inexpecta) is a mythical creature introduced in Worldcraft: Rivers Stops Flows and upcoming in Farhan: Child of Attorney and Witch from Midnight, Historya Davvun, Seven Code Talkers, No Way to Seaway, Weather Dragons, Two Lights, and Rescris.
The word "dingonek” is probably a Wanderobo term for the mysterious beast, and among that tribe and certain others subsequently referred to the existence of this huge reptile has been known for many.
Dingonek is an amphibious synapsid with rhino horns that are longer than rhino horns, sabertooth teeth that tear through flesh or water like a tornado beam, and a long pointed tailneedle that contains sleep. Dingonek's skin color ranges from olive to brown, and their ears are pointedly different from felines. Dingonek's furs are made of keratin, similar to our nails. Their size was estimate to 4.6 meters tall in height; 19.33 meters long (from head to tail) in length; 58 cm in length for horn; 32 cm in length for tailneedle; and 350 kg in weight.
Because their canine teeth can be sheared off and form a tornado beam, Dingonek may spew a lot of water. They can also inject sleep into their tailneedle to intensify their assaults.

The Dingonek is violent towards everything without provocation due to their bad mood. Dingonek was highly hateful to this enormous one, the Mokele-mbembe and a mythological pegasus, the Ethiopian pegasus as key adversaries.
The Dingonek lived in freshwater habitats found in tropical, subtropical, desert, Mediterranean, and temperate climates, including Lake Victoria in Kenya and other parts of Africa. Due to a lack of food sources, such as dwindling wildlife populations, the Dingonek was the conquering beast that ruled all of Africa.

Because the cub was abandoned by its parents, it needs any kind of milk, including breastmilk or cow's milk. After nursing, the Dingonek cub is yours. Adults had a hard time taming the Dingonek, especially the pup.
The term "dingonek" refers to three unidentified animals: the Kikuyu ndamathia of the Tana River, the Masai ol-umaina of the Amala River, and the dingonek itself.
The dingonek was allegedly seen by John Alfred Jordan (1857 – 1933), a notorious adventurer and ivory poacher who operated in a rarely-visited region of southern British East Africa, around the border with German East Africa. Despite his illegal activities, Jordan gained the respect of the colonial authorities by pacifying the local warlike tribes. Jordan's story was first published by the American big game hunter Edgar Beecher Bronson (1856 – 1917), who met him during a 1909 safari, and included the account in his book In Closed Territory (1910). Jordan himself later included the story in articles in Wide World Magazine (1917) and the Daily Mail (1919), and the posthumous, possibly ghostwritten books Elephants and Ivory (1956) and The Elephant Stone (1959). According to Jordan, the name dingonek was used by his "Dorobo" or "Lumbwa" followers, one of whom claimed he had seen the animal on two other occasions.
In Historya Davvun: For Mandela, a few Dingoneks were presented, and African mythological animals had a part in Mandela's installation of his first president in 1994.
Following Feliciano's evil deeds against Farhan and Ajibola because of his Nestorian heritage and his exploitation of Black people, Zika, a Dingonek, transforms from a secondary antagonist into an antihero to disown his owner.

Prior to his exile to Reinachos with Nicolette, Archie, and their friends in search of Julianna Hueau's inheritance from the terrible extinctions and genocides of Reinachos' utopian society, Zika is in Paschal Hyrphaz's first menagerie.
