Bowser Fire

The dragon stumbled back a few paces. He glared at Mac in a way to suggest that his patience was running thin more than his energy. He took in a deep breath through his nose, smoke already rising from his nostrils. He leaned forward, head stuck out, aimed squarely at Mac, and opened his maw wide.

And then Mac shut it again with an uppercut. The dragon’s head shot straight up, and flame poured in twin streams from his nostrils into the cave ceiling. The cave rumbled and shook. Rock broke off, partially slagged partially torn, and crashed down onto the dragon. Not enough for a cave in, that was Robin’s first worry, but enough that the dragon was pelted, nearly buried, and collapsed forward onto its stomach. Its eyes, heavy-lidded and only barely kept open, went fuzzy and unfocused.

The entire encounter was over in seconds.
