'''Dingo''' ({{j|ディンゴ|Dingo}}) is the ranger of the [[Rescue Corps]] in {{p4}} and from the planet Ohri. He specializes in solo missions and can complete a [[Night expedition|night expedition]], [[Dandori Challenge]], or [[Dandori Battle]] (except [[Leafy Showdown]]) on the player's behalf if they fail and ask for his help. In Dandori Challenges and Battles, the player can also exit prematurely from the [[pause menu]] to get his help (but not in night expeditions).

As of the [[Update#Version 1.1.0 3|version 1.1.0]] update, Dingo also assists the player in finding [[Decor Pikmin (Pikmin 4)|Decor Pikmin]] and writes notes on them in the [[Decopedia]].

==Location==

He is the fourth castaway to be rescued.

== Personality and appearance ==
Dingo has a triangle-shaped head, light skin, pointy ears, a large pinkish nose, and red hair spiking upwards. His eyes are black with prominent white highlights inside of them and thick, triangular eyebrows set over them. He wears a dark blue headband and a Rescue Corps spacesuit.

Personality-wise, Dingo is direct and unsentimental. He may appear to be uncaring, addressing some of his colleagues by their jobs rather than their names, but his coworkers' perceptions of him do seem to matter to him--for instance, he worries about [[Bernard]] being mad at him at multiple points and likes [[Shepherd]] enough to become awkward when speaking to her. Dingo is not one to trust people upon meeting them; notable instances of this include his believing that the player is attempting to "pull a fast one on" him when they report that they've fully explored an area and his suspecting [[Collin]] to have turned a castaway into a leafling. He isn't a stranger to acknowledging his own mistakes and the efforts of others, however. This is seen when he tries to apologize to Bernard for abandoning him in a cave and when he congratulates the player for rescuing all the castaways, albeit doing the latter under his breath. Shepherd notes that he's quite meticulous and makes sure that even the tiniest scratch on his body is fully healed before heading out.
==Dandori Battles and Challenges==
Dingo will help you in certain [[Dandori Challenge|Dandori Battles]] or [[Dandori Battle|Dandori Battles]], if you were not able to do it the first time around. He will have a button that will allow him to fight for you, and upon pressing the button, you will get a short [[Cutscene]] with dingo saying randomized phrases for about ten seconds. When you replay the match with [[Corgwin]] or [[Jin]] you will get a logo resembling a medal with dingo's face on it.

== Naming ==
His name alludes to {{w|dingo}}es. Unlike the rest of the Rescue Corps, Dingo is named after a partly feral breed of dog rather than a fully domesticated one; this may reference the fact that he is a ranger and typically goes on missions by himself instead of associating with the rest of the group.

==Trivia==
*Dingo has a tendency to eat and drink whatever others leave lying around, so much so that Collin has bad dreams about it. This is noted by Yonny after the ranger drinks some glow sap, and it's said that at one point Dingo ate Bernard's pizza as well.
*Dingo will have snarky remarks about how you’re not a wimp if you try again without his help.
