Made me think of El Capitan[1] from the original Ducktales (spoiler, though the description doesn’t do it justice):

> After everyone makes it out of the destructing Valley, El Capitan breaks loose, but when he comes to the spot where the Valley would be, he finds that it is now all buried under a mountain of dirt. Frustrated yet undaunted, El Capitan starts trying to dig up the gold.
