    I would like to make the argument that the Giant Frox in the depths are TotK's stand-in for the Dodongos. They are giant reptile-creatures with a suck attack that you can throw bombs in to attack their weak points.

    For anyone wondering those creatures in the middle of the thumbnail are called don dons and are not hostile. Tip: if you feed them luminous stones and wait by a campfire, they will excrete gems for you to collect. You can find them hidden in the faron region of Hyrule in Totk.

      I'd consider them somewhat of a missing link. Visually, they definitely do call back to Dodongos, and them eating rocks somewhat is as well, but they're definitely mammals as far as we can tell, more bovine. They're a branch of Dodongo that have evolved into mammals and from there into horses, at least the ones in BotWs time, or have been crossbred with horses in the past
