Description[]
Bomberman (NES)[]
Doria appears as an enemy in Bomberman. It is the slowest-moving enemy in the game, as it moves slower than all of the other 7 enemies, but it can move through Soft Blocks. It’s blue-colored, just as the Onils are. Dorias are very smart, as they will commonly attempt to chase Bomberman and tend to evade bombs. Doria is associated with the Remote Control power-up, and as such will spawn when the stage Exit containing the power-up is bombed, or when the power-up is destroyed. It debuts in stage 7, with two appearing at once, but it can be encountered as early as stage 3 when the exit or power-up is bombed there. Doria will harm the player on collision. It takes 1 hit to defeat and yields a score of 1,000 points.

Trivia[]
- The Japanese name "Kondoria" comes from the Japanese 「ミトコンドリア」 (mitokondoria), meaning mitochondria, the cellular organelle responsible for energy production. In Japan, the enemy was so named because its design resembles an amoeba or living cell, and the reference to "mitochondria" reinforces the idea of something biological and microscopic.
- In Bomberman II, Doria was scheduled to appear but in the end was not used. Its sprites can still be found in the data of the game and are virtually identical to the ones from the first game.
- Its appearance looks like a cartoonish version of the Amoebas from the Gradius series.
