Dokaknel is a faster, stronger version of Zaknel. It is a part of the Kunel family. Physically, the only differences are that Dokaknel has green eyes and weapons on its back (compared to the orange-eyed, tree-covered Zaknel).
In Patapon, Dokaknel is fought for the Pon Pata song. In Patapon 2, he is found after defeating the last Karmen general, Hukmen. Like Zaknel, Dokaknel is vulnerable to sleep, but unlike Zaknel, its attacks must be dodged instead of blocked, or else it will obliterate your army.
Dokaknel usually drops Level 2-4 vegetables, but a Goodurian is possible. Beating the level 3 version of Dokaknel will make him drop "Dokaknel's Fang". At around level five, Dokaknel also drops the Storm Juju.
Dokaknel looks upwards, straightening his body, and then slams down on your Patapons. The PonPata song will avoid this attack with little difficulty, however, the ChakaChaka song won't be effective, since it doesn't reduce much of the damage.
Dokaknel curls up into a backwards S, then breathes a wave of fire on your Patapons. The animation is similar to Slam, but Dokaknel will face forwards and tap its back with its tail when about to use Fire Breath. The PonPata song can help, but it is better to use the ChakaChaka song, or the DonDon song in Patapon 2 and 3. This attack does moderate damage and can ignite its victims, so stay clear if you've got Rarepons exposed to fire. If your Patapons are set alight, use the DonChaka song (Patapon 2 and 3 only).
grounded Patapon and will smash your Toripon to the ground if they get too close. This attack does moderate damage. The ChakaChaka song is recommended in Patapon, but in Patapon 2 and 3, the DonDon song will obviously avoid all damage. Don't consider using PonPata for all three games, as no matter how far you are, it will still hurt your Patapons, because the earthquake reaches even beyond the maximum retreat range of PonPata. If you can't stay clear of the attack and got Staggered or Tumbled, use DonChaka (Patapon 2 and 3).
In Patapon 2 and 3, Dokaknel will partly burrow itself, then move towards your Patapons in a motion similar to a wheel. This attack does major-fatal damage. The DonDon song is the only song that can block this attack. Don't even try to Stagger it, even with a Tatepon Hero in Hero Mode, this attack still damages your Patapons moderately.
The horn on Dokaknel's head can be broken, and will occasionally drop rare items.
Dokaknel's Fang is a Super Unique Spear in Patapon 3, but you don't really need to confront Dokanel to obtain it. In Patapon 2 however it is Dokaknel exclusive weapon.
While Zaknel is covered in what seems to be trees, Dokaknel is covered in weapons, showing that he had experienced more wars and victories.Dokaknel's Fang
The weapons that cover Dokaknel are spear-like, this may be due to the fact that ranged weapons are most likely to hit him compared to other weapons (Swords, Axes, etc.).
