Origin Information
Donte' is the first thing that is really and truly original to Card Battles. An idea first mentioned by Sigma Tech72, evolution cards were made to improve the weaker cards, such as the, at the time, all-but-useless Dodo. Clockwork volunteered to make it a reality, despite initially disagreeing with Sigma over whether or not Dodo should be given one. When I<3Dodos was designed by DinoFlame as a way to distribute Dodo evolution cards, Donte' became an experiment by him.

Using Donte'
As Donte' can be played on the first turn of the game, unlike most similarly designed cards, it has the potential to immediately give a strong Nature attribute to its user. Optimally evolved right away, it is then a card that lacks strategy, being entirely brute force. Which attack is most useful at any given time depends on the target's defensive abilities.

Defending against Donte'
Donte' was a powerful card in the early-game, but now it is a rather easy card to defeat. It is not particularly strong, though it can stand a lot of punishment for something that came from a Dodo, meaning it's not hard to defeat once it is played. It can also be stopped from coming onto the field entirely, by using a card such as Devils' Chorus to stop the use of Blessing of Thanatos, or by defeating the enemy's Dodo before it evolves.

Trivia

 * The name Donte' is a typo. The original name, which came from an image Clockwork found on wikipedia, was Dronte', but in making the card, he missed the 'r'.
 * The two other pre-production names that lost to Dronte' were its current nickname, the Killer Dodo, and the never-again-seen Doomdoom.
 * Judging from the move card required to summon it, Donte' is not an average mutant Dodo, but a normal Dodo which has been infused with the powers of the Greek death god, Thanatos. It was originally slated to instead evolve using a move card called 'K-Gene', not unlike the modern Chaos Genesis, but the idea was scrapped due to graphical difficulties.
 * Donte' was the first card to have a non-latin character in its name, the apostrophe at the end.
 * Dinoflame was partially inspired by this card to make the Xtreme Evolver card line.
