This is a list of characters from the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie series]] of video games.
{{TOCright|limit=3}}

==Main characters==
===Banjo===
[http://img.engadget.com/common/images/7548881577822180.JPG]'''Banjo''' is a rare [[anthropomorphic]] brown honey<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/19990220041733/www.rareware.com/recent/games/banjo/castlist/ Rarewhere: Banjo-Kazooie - The Story So Far<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> bear who is one of the two main characters of the series. He is always seen wearing yellow shorts with a belt, a shark tooth necklace, and a bright blue backpack.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/19990825001749/banjo-kazooie.com/intro/index.html Nintendo.com - Banjo-Kazooie!<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The backpack usually contains his good friend Kazooie, though she was absent from it in Banjo's first appearance in a game, [[Diddy Kong Racing]]. Kazooie was "adopted" by Banjo some time ago,<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/19990220041733/www.rareware.com/recent/games/banjo/castlist/ Rarewhere: Banjo-Kazooie - The Story So Far<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and the trouble that she attracts usually ends up coming for Banjo as well. Banjo also has a younger sister named Tooty. Banjo is also mainly responsible to what happens to Tooty. All three live at the base of [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Spiral Mountain|Spiral Mountain]] on the Isle o' Hags. He can also play his [[Banjo|namesake instrument]].<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/19981206004636/www.diddykongracing.com/driversed.html</ref>

===Kazooie===

'''Kazooie''' is a rare Red Crested Breegull.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/19990220041733/www.rareware.com/recent/games/banjo/castlist/ Rarewhere: Banjo-Kazooie - The Story So Far<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> She is one of the two title characters in the series. At the beginning of the first game, she resides in [[Banjo (Banjo-Kazooie)|Banjo]]'s backpack, in his home in [[Spiral Mountain]]. Throughout the game, she remains inside his backpack, except in the second game, [[Banjo-Tooie]], where she can split with Banjo and go adventuring on her own, and also in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]], at the start of which she is kidnapped, leaving Banjo to complete the game's first level unaided.

Unlike Banjo, who is calm and mild-mannered, Kazooie is much more [[Impulse response|impulsive]]. She tends to argue frequently with [[Bottles (Banjo-Kazooie)|Bottles]] the Shortsighted Mole and other side characters, and gives [[sarcastic]] commentary about the events of the game. Indeed, it tends to be Kazooie's sharp tongue that gets the duo into a lot of fights and overall sticky situations, much to Banjo's dismay.

Kazooie's attacks consist mainly of a wide variety of eggs she can launch at enemies, though she can also use her strong beak to attack on occasion. One of the more useful abilities she's granted in Banjo-Tooie is the ability to transform into a dragon, granting her increased strength in her attacks, as well as fire breath to replace her peck attack and an unlimited supply of Fire Eggs. She can also play her [[Kazoo]].

===Gruntilda Winkybunion===

'''Gruntilda Winkybunion''', also referred to as '''Grunty''' for short, is a witch who serves as the villain of the series. She is a stereotypical witch, with green skin, [[warts]], a witch's hat and a hideous cackle. She had a habit of speaking in rhyme (which was ultimately broken in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'') and she is quite skilled in magic. She is very [[narcissistic]] and in her first appearance, Gruntilda finds out that her so-called prettiness is surpassed by that of [[Banjo Bear|Banjo's]] little sister, [[#Tooty|Tooty]]. Enraged, Grunty kidnaps Tooty and places her in her Beauty Transformation Machine, operated by her [[hunchback]] [[sidekick]], Klungo. However, with the exception of the [[game over]] sequence (the cutscene shows the beautified Witch wearing the skirt she promised to and attracting Mumbo), she never actually gets Tooty's [[beauty]] transmitted to her, and instead hosts a game show titled Grunty's Furnace Fun that Banjo and Kazooie must win in order to set Tooty free. Afterwards, Banjo and [[Kazooie]] battle her on top of her castle, resulting in her falling through the ground and being buried alive under a boulder. <ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20010215033623/banjo-kazooie.com/rusty/index.html Nintendo.com - Banjo-Kazooie!<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

Chronologically, Grunty's second plan of action came in the third game to be released in the series, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', which occurs two months after the first game. Here, she has her soul transported into Mecha-Grunty, a robot designed by Klungo. In this new body, she kidnaps Kazooie and goes back in time, hoping to prevent Kazooie from meeting Banjo (and thereby erasing Grunty's first defeat from history). In the end, though, Banjo and Kazooie succeed in dismantling Mecha-Grunty, forcing Grunty's soul to go back into her still-underground body, to wait for her sisters to rescue her, thus setting the events of ''Banjo-Tooie'' into motion.

In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', the second game in the series, but the third chronologically, 22 months after ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'' (logically 2 years after the original game) Gruntilda's sisters [[Mingella & Blobbelda]] arrive and use their magic to lift the boulder off of Grunty, whose flesh has by now rotted off, reducing her to nothing more than a skeleton. In order for Grunty to have her body restored, her sisters take her to their own hideout, where they show her the Big 'O' Blaster (B.O.B. for short), which they use to suck out the life forces of others and transfer them to Grunty's. However, once again, Banjo and Kazooie thwart her plans, and this time, Grunty ends up as just a head with no body, which Banjo, Kazooie, [[Mumbo Jumbo (Banjo-Kazooie)|Mumbo Jumbo]], Humba Wumba and Jamjars use to play [[kickball]]. It is at this time she mentions getting revenge in ''Banjo-Threeie'', which will be released in 2008 by Rare, this time featuring the desperate witch for the Xbox 360.

===Klungo===

'''Klungo''' works for [[Gruntilda Winkybunion|Gruntilda]] the [[witch]] and invents much of her equipment. Klungo is usually portrayed as an "[[Igor (fictional character)|Igor]]"-like character and appears to talk with a hiss every time he pronounces the letter "S." In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Klungo plays a small role, only seen activating a machine to switch Grunty's ugliness and swap it for the young [[Tooty]]'s beauty. He is later seen trying to push the rock off Grunty that fell off during the final fight with [[Banjo Bear|Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Klungo creates Mecha-Grunty and tells the witch to put her soul into the robot. He plays a bigger role and tries to stop Banjo and Kazooie three times. After Grunty's soul goes back into her body, she demands that Klungo send a note for her sisters ([[Mingella & Blobbelda]]) to lift the boulder off of her.

In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', as Klungo continues to try and move the rock, Grunty's sisters come and release Grunty from her accidental grave. She leaves Klungo behind to deal with Banjo. He fights Banjo on three separate occasions, only to get beaten by Banjo and punished by Grunty every time, becoming more and more bruised by his appearance. He appears to have some knowledge of magic as in each fight he utilizes homemade potions to help give him an edge: a red one that makes him larger, a blue one that makes copies of him, a green one that makes him invisible, and a yellow one he throws at Banjo to damage him (the first three potions are randomly selected at the start of each fight; the yellow one is always used). After the third fight, he becomes so bruised that he begins to worry that "''Mrs. Klungo won't find him handsome anymore.''" In response, he quits working for Grunty to seek his fortune in making "sssstupid [video] gamessss." Now reformed, he later goes to [[Bottles (Banjo-Kazooie)|Bottles]]' house with [[King Jingaling]] to party with Bottles and his family and celebrate Banjo's initial victory over Grunty (ironically, Banjo and co. are left to deal with the witch and miss out on the whole thing). He ends up falling asleep after eating all the food in the house; by this time his bruises have healed completely.

===Mumbo Jumbo===
'''Mumbo Jumbo''' is a [[shaman]] in the [[Nintendo 64|N64]] games ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', as well as the [[Game Boy Advance]] games ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]''. He lives in his many [[skull]]-shaped huts scattered around the lands visited within the games. In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', he offered his assistance to the duo with useful transformations in exchange for his missing Mumbo Tokens. In ''Banjo-Tooie'', his skull looks different than in Banjo-Kazooie with a more round shape to it. He was featured as a playable character who could use his voodoo stick to levitate objects, [[oxygenation|oxygenate]] bodies of water, and other such magical procedures, and, no less important, use it as his only attack to zap enemies into oblivion.

Mumbo's origin is not altogether clear. In the time-traveling storyline of ''Grunty's Revenge'', it is revealed that Mumbo was still a shaman in training in the [[1970s]], which indicates that he was trained under the same witch doctor as Gruntilda, the antagonist of the series. Another rendition of Mumbo's story (written in the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' instruction manual) is that he was Gruntilda's teacher in magic, and once her training was complete, she disavowed her teacher and cursed him with a changed appearance. What is clear is that Gruntilda disfigured Mumbo's face, turning it into a skull. The instruction manual for Banjo-Kazooie states that his face shall remain that way until the day Gruntilda is overthrown. However, this has not been addressed in any of the games. However, Rare has stated that they want to keep him with his skull as revealed in an issue of Scribes.

===Humba Wumba===
'''Humba Wumba''' is a [[Native-American]] female [[shaman]] who seems to have a rivalry with fellow shaman [[Mumbo Jumbo (Banjo-Kazooie)|Mumbo Jumbo]]. It could be because the two are competing as powerful shamans. Humba took over Mumbo's role from the first game, granting the player transformations.

Wumba's only reference to Mumbo Jumbo are threats when the player (controlling Mumbo) enters her wigwam. She also makes a reference of him when Banjo and Kazooie first meet her and she claims to be the most powerful user of magic on the island and Banjo and Kazooie ask about Mumbo and she denies, saying that Mumbo is an amateur. Mumbo makes references of his own when the player completes the game. Mumbo at one point tells her to shut up or he threatens to summon the golden giant (a magic trick he can perform in the game).

It is possible that the two met sometime during their training as Mumbo claimed in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]] that he was still a shaman-in-training. It could be that he has a higher "rank" in shaman magic than Wumba, since Wumba can only change [[Banjo Bear|Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] into animals and objects, and she requires a Glowbo to do so. Mumbo only needs the power of Glowbos to do other tasks that considerably uses a lot more magic than his simple transformations, although Humba's transformations can actually attack (the van and the adult T-rex are invincible and will kill any enemy it touches) - an ability that Mumbo's transformations didn't have (the crocodile being the only transformation that can attack). The sizes of Wumba's transformations energy bars also vary from transformation to transformation ([[detonator]] and baby T-rex having one less section than Banjo and Kazooie, the snowball only having five sections, no matter how many sections Banjo and Kazooie have, and the washing machine has one more section than Banjo and Kazooie, making it the most durable transformation which can be killed), whereas the energy bar remains unchanged when Mumbo transforms Banjo.

In the final sequence of [[Banjo-Tooie]], after missing out on a celebration party along with Banjo, Kazooie, Mumbo and Jamjars, she gets into an argument with Mumbo and threatens to turn him into a frog. However, when Banjo and Kazooie offer to play a game of kickball with Grunty's head with them, she and Mumbo appear to bury the hatchet and declare a truce.

===Bottles===

'''Bottles''' the shortsighted mole is one of the main characters in the series. He is a stereotypical [[geek]], with large, thick, cokebottle framed glasses (hence his name), and awkward height and weight. He has appeared in every Banjo-Kazooie game so far, except for [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]], where he was only mentioned by [[Banjo Bear|Banjo]] and [[Mumbo Jumbo (Banjo-Kazooie)|Mumbo]].

Bottles' main role in Banjo-Kazooie is to assist the player with new moves, and appeared in nearly every level of the game. He and Kazooie constantly fired insults at each other throughout the game, often making fun of his short, geeky appearance. In Banjo-Tooie, after casting a spell meant to destroy Banjo and Kazooie, the undead Gruntilda kills Bottles instead, resulting in Banjo, Kazooie and Mumbo Jumbo taking revenge for his death. The game also reveals additional details regarding his family, and indicates that he has a wife, Mrs. Bottles, two kids, Speccy and Goggles, and a brother, Jamjars, who takes over the role Bottles held in the prequel. At the end of the game, he is revived.

A secret game mode, called Bottles' Revenge, and only accessible with a [[GameShark]], allows hidden playability of the ghostly Bottles. In this mode, two-players are playing. One controls Banjo, the other controls a ghostly, devilish Bottles, and can possess nearby enemies by pressing, and have complete control over them. However, when the duo enter a boss battle, Devil Bottles feels that he's "not needed" and leaves. Rareware could not make Devil Bottles control bosses, due to the fact that Old King Coal was the only boss that could be controlled. It was said in the February 13 edition of the scribes that he will be teaching the moves in [[Banjo Kazooie 3]]

===Drill Sergeant Jamjars===
'''Drill Sergeant Jamjars''' is the brother of the short-sighted mole, [[Bottles (Banjo-Kazooie)|Bottles]]. In the game [[Banjo-Tooie]], he teaches the player the moves and skills required to reach [[Gruntilda Winkybunion|Gruntilda]] in Cauldron Keep, calling the moves Bottles had taught Banjo in the last game 'novice moves'. Jamjars is a stereotypical drill sergeant complete with trooper sunglasses and green fatigues and army boots. He speaks loudly and clearly. He is as different from Bottles as cheese to chalk, as the booklet says. He also gets into many witty quarrels with Kazooie. His silos create a network of shortcuts throughout the Isle O' Hags.

===Jinjos===

'''Jinjos''' are a species of multi-colored creatures that inhabit the Isle O' Hags. Their original home was [[Spiral Mountain]], home of [[Banjo Bear|Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]], but they were forced out when Gruntilda built her lair. Jinjos appear to be quite sociable and enjoy competitive sport - in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' they were preparing for an upcoming [[kickball]] tournament against a team of [[mole (animal)|Moles]], while in ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'' they have a special all-Jinjo Grand Prix. A species called Minjos look the same as the friendly Jinjos, but they unexpectedly growl and attack the player if they are approached.

Their first appearance is in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' where one of the many objectives is to "collect" the Jinjos, thus freeing them.
Each level contained 5 Jinjos, one of each color (Blue, Purple, Yellow, Green, and Orange). Freeing 5 Jinjos awards the player with a Jiggy, a golden [[Jigsaw puzzle]] piece used to enter new levels. Also of note is the living statue, the "Jinjonator", that helps to defeat Gruntilda. In the sequel, ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', the Jinjos returned along with their ruler, [[King Jingaling]]. "Minjos", the supposed arch-enemies of Jinjos, were also introduced in this game. Families of Jinjos are rescued instead of single ones. Also several new colors of Jinjos were introduced: White, Red, Brown and Black as well as an unseen Gray family that was said to have been killed when the witches drove the Hag 1 through their house in the Jinjo Village. In [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge|Banjo-Kazooie, Grunty's Revenge]], Jinjos also appear to live in family groups, with a family assigned to each world. However, in this game, it appears that Jinjos were the original inhabitants of Spiral Mountain and the connecting worlds, and have fled from Grunty and her army.

==Introduced in Banjo-Kazooie==
===Spiral Mountain===
====Tooty====

'''Tooty''' is a small female bear with blonde hair tied in pigtails, wears a red shirt with a yellow star in the middle and purple trousers. She is sweet and kind and loves going on adventures with her brother. She plays the [[piccolo]] in the introduction of the first game with Banjo and Kazooie playing a banjo and kazoo, respectively (along with Mumbo on the saxophone, xylophone, and fiddle). Tooty was kidnapped by the envious Gruntilda. She is friends with Bottles (who she calls "Mr. Mole"). Tooty was rescued by Banjo as first prize in Grunty's Furnace Fun.

After Banjo-Kazooie, Tooty has not appeared in a game since. The only reference to Tooty seems to be a picture of her in Banjo's house and on a giant milk carton in Banjo-Tooie, in a traditional lost person ad. (Which is a reference to the fact she didn't appear in the game)

While Banjo-Kazooie was still in pre-production, the official Nintendo magazine, Nintendo Power, gave an overview of the game in which Tooty's original name was "Piccolo" and she was Banjo's girlfriend, not his sister. Tooty still plays a piccolo in the intro of the first game.

====Roysten====
Roysten is Banjo's pet [[goldfish]] that is usually seen swimming in his little fish bowl next to Banjo's bed. He is often shown in uncomfortable and sometimes deadly situations (such as one particular scene in which he's seen frying on Mumbo Jumbo's grill while he flips burgers) but somehow always returns completely unharmed.

After the introductory events of Banjo Tooie, he becomes trapped under a boulder and must be rescued. If you get him out and release him into the moat around [[Spiral Mountain]], he will teach you a faster swimming technique, as well as increasing your air capacity. The fish Bottles cuts up after he's brought back to life is also Roysten, as evidenced during the Character Parade movie clip.

===Gruntilda's Lair===
====Brentilda Winkybunion====
[http://nintendoforever.free.fr/N64/BanjoKazooie/Casting1/BanjoKazooie_FinBrentilda.jpg]
'''Brentilda Winkybunion''' is a character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie series]]. She's [[Gruntilda Winkybunion|Gruntilda's]] nicer sister.

Brentilda is the complete opposite of Gruntilda. She looks more like a kind [[fairy]] than a mean [[witch]]. She has green skin, like Gruntilda, but unlike Gruntilda she wears a pink dress. It has been stated that Grunty hates her because she inherited the family's good looks. When [[Banjo Bear|Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] approach her in the game, the music changes to a joyful tune. She helps the duo by giving them information about Gruntilda's habits (such as what she eats for dinner to what her dog's name is) that they'll need for the quiz at the end of the game. She will also restore their energy. In [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Mad Monster Mansion|Mad Monster Mansion]] in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' game, you can see a portrait of Brentilda on the wall of the room where the Napper is sleeping. The same portrait can be seen in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' lying in the corner of Pawno's Emporium in [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Jolly Roger.27s Lagoon|Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] (her only appearance in the entire game). Brentilda may be based off of [[Glinda|Glinda the Good]] of [[The Wizard of Oz (1939)|The Wizard of Oz]], while Gruntilda takes her design from the [[Wicked Witch of the West]].

{{clear}}

====Cheato====
[http://www.gamespot.com/features/vgs/n64/banjo/shared/icons/book.gif]
'''Cheato''' is a flying book filled with [[cheat code]]s that [[Banjo (Banjo-Kazooie)|Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] can use to help them on their adventures. A ambient tone of music plays when the character approches him. In [[Banjo-Kazooie]] Cheato offers to give Banjo and Kazooie a cheat code each time they find him in a new location in [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Gruntilda.27s Lair|Gruntilda's Lair]]. Whenever he offers this, [[Gruntilda Winkybunion|Gruntilda]] threatens to rip Cheato's pages out, but Cheato disobeys her anyway. When Banjo and Kazooie meet Cheato again in [[Banjo-Tooie]], Gruntilda has made good on her threats to rip Cheato apart, and spread his pages throughout the [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#The Isle o.27 Hags|Isle O' Hags]]. Cheato offers to give the two a cheat code for every five pages they find and return to him. Cheato also makes an appearance in [[Banjo-Pilot]] where players can once again get cheat codes from him.

A continuity error exists with him in the series. In the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' instruction manual, it states that Gruntilda dropped her spell books on the way out of the lair. In ''Banjo-Tooie'', it is revealed that it was the same one each time. Also, in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Grunty actually said she would burn Cheato rather than just rip out his pages. As well, there doesn't seem to be any action of Grunty ripping out Cheato's pages, since as soon as she gets free from the rock, she immediately destroys Banjo's house and heads for the Hag 1, though there is the possibility she returned to her old lair solely to rip out his pages before she went to the Hag 1.

In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', he, like Mingella and Blobellda, employed anastrophe in his speech, but in ''Banjo-Tooie'', he speaks normally.

{{clear}}

====Dingpot====
'''Dingpot''' is a large cauldron, from whom Grunty learns that Tooty is more beautiful. Dingpot becomes disenchanted with Grunty, especially from her cruel treatment towards him (such as vomiting in him and washing her filthy clothing in him) and he helps Banjo and Kazooie get to the roof to confront her. In ''Banjo Tooie'' Dingpot can be found at the top of Cauldron Keep, where he helpfully restores Banjo and Kazooie's eggs, feathers and health to maximum. Oddly, he helps the player even though Kazooie is also incredibly rude to him.

===Mumbo's Mountain===

====Ju-Ju====
'''Ju-Ju''' is Mumbo's totem pole. He has four identical heads stacked on top of one another and is constantly rotating in one spot. He loves the taste of Kazooie's eggs or, as he calls them, "blue stones." If Kazooie fires an egg into one of his mouths, his head will disappear. When he disappears completely, he will leave a Jiggy behind.

====Chimpy====
'''Chimpy''' is a [[chimpanzee]] who loves oranges. However, the only oranges that are available are with Conga, who does not let anyone near them. If Banjo and Kazooie steal one of his oranges and give it to Chimpy, Chimpy will excitedly take the orange and run away, leaving a Jiggy behind and opening a passage for them to confront Conga.

====Conga====
[http://www.lgdg.net/bkommando/fan_pages/artwork1/conga.gif]
'''Conga''' is a [[gorilla]] who, like Chimpy, loves oranges, and does not give up his tree without a fight. Around his tree there are square-shaped switches that he claim are his "blocks" and if he hits with his oranges, make one of two Jiggys in his custody appear. He gives up his other Jiggy if Banjo and Kazooie hit him with enough eggs. He returns in Banjo-Tooie as the big top ringleader in Witchyworld and only allows the heroes in if they gather enough tickets.

===Treasure Trove Cove===
====Captain Blubber====
[http://nintendoforever.free.fr/N64/BanjoKazooie/BanjoKazooie_Casting1.php]
'''Captain Blubber''' is a pirate [[hippo]] who apparently owns the beached ship, ''The Salty Hippo''. His treasure is lost in the hold of the ship. After Banjo helped him to retrieve it, Blubber went off on a business venture. He is seen at the end of Banjo-Kazooie riding a Waveracer across the ocean at the beach Banjo, Kazooie, Tooty, Bottles and Mumbo were relaxing at. He set up a "Waveracer" shop in Jolly Roger's Lagoon, but by Banjo-Tooie, his business was ruined after many of his Waveracers were lost to a giant fish. He asks Banjo and Kazooie for some money to help get his life back on track, which they give out of pity. Blubber then bet this money in a trivia contest and won, and used the winnings to purchase a "flying craft" (oddly enough, the Saucer of Peril from Witchyworld).
His voice sounds like belching.

====Nipper====
'''Nipper''' is a giant [[hermit crab]] living on the beach of Treasure Trove Cove. He grows annoyed when Banjo and Kazooie tread on his beach, and even more so when Kazooie insults him, and attacks them. If Kazooie pecks him in the eyes three times, he will retreat to him shell and disappear without a trace, allowing the duo to enter and claim his Jiggy.

====Snacker====
'''Snacker''' is a [[shark]] who chases Banjo and Kazooie whenever they end up in the open waters of the cove. He also appears much later in the game at [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Rusty Bucket Bay|Rusty Bucket Bay]], where he once again terrorizes Banjo and Kazooie. He is able to be defeated by shooting five eggs at him; however, he comes back quickly. He approaches Banjo and Kazooie in a similar fashion to the [[Jaws (film)|Jaws]] films, complete with Jaws-esque theme music.

===Clanker's Cavern===
====Clanker====

'''Clanker''' is a giant metallic [[whale]] (but resembles more of a shark) and serves as Gruntilda's garbage disposal. He dislikes the dirty water in which he lives and offers Banjo and Kazooie rewards if they will get him some fresh air and cure his toothache. The inside of his body is fully explorable, and Banjo and Kazooie can enter by swimming through his gills, gaps in his teeth, or blowhole. He is also to be featured in the upcoming Banjo-Kazooie 3.

====Gloop====

'''Gloop''' is a fish whose air bubbles help Banjo and Kazooie when they're running low on air. He is also seen again in Hailfire Peaks in a boiling pool of water. When fed to Boggy, he coughs up a Jiggy.

===Bubblegloop Swamp===
====Tanktup====
'''Tanktup''' is a giant turtle who's belly serves as a gathering place for the Tiptup Choir. He complains that his feet are cold and numb and is unable to move them. If Banjo and Kazooie slam down on his feet, they well enter his shell. When he is warm, he will allow the duo to enter his belly.

====Tiptup====
[http://nintendoforever.free.fr/N64/BanjoKazooie/BanjoKazooie_Casting1.php]
'''Tiptup''' is the conductor of the choir inside Tanktup. Tiptup reappears two years later in Jolly Roger's Lagoon with an egg, long overdue to hatch (32 weeks). He first appeared alongside Banjo in [[Diddy Kong Racing]].

====Mr. Vile====
'''Mr. Vile''' is a crocodile and proclaims himself to be the greediest croc around. He lives in the belly of another, much larger crocodile, which can only be entered if Banjo turns himself into a crocodile with Mumbo's magic and enters one of its nostrils. Vile challenges Banjo to three eating contests, with each one harder than the last. If Banjo wins all three, Vile will reward him with a Jiggy. But if Banjo loses one game, Vile will bite him and deplete one energy unit.

===Freezeezy Peak===
====Boggy====
[http://nintendoforever.free.fr/N64/BanjoKazooie/BanjoKazooie_Casting1.php]
'''Boggy''' is a [[polar bear]] who lives in an igloo near the start of the level. He falls ill after swallowing a Jiggy. Boggy seems to have lost all of the presents for his three children across the peak. He has also lost his sled on the giant snowman in the middle of the level, and if Banjo finds it, he will ride it and land on top of Boggy, causing him to cough up the Jiggy. He likes to challenge people to sledding competitions; you can initially race against him when in the form of a walrus, and again in regular form after you obtain the Running Shoes. If you beat him both times, he will give you two more Jiggies. Boggy makes another appearance in the sequel at [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Hailfire Peaks|Hailfire Peaks]]. Since then, Boggy has gained weight and given up sledding. He spends his time watching TV all day and eats fish. Boggy can be seen watching TV with [[Mr. Pants]] on the screen which came out years later.

====Groggy, Soggy and Moggy====
'''Groggy, Soggy and Moggy''' are Boggy's three children. When you first meet them, they are sad due to the fact that they have no presents. When you give each of them a present, they reward you with a Jiggy. They later return in [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Witchyworld|Witchyworld]], where they go off in different directions. Banjo makes them go back to Mrs. Boggy.

====Wozza====
'''Wozza''' is a walrus who lives in a cave in the peak. He is afraid of Banjo and hides in his cave whenever he draws near. If you approach him in the form of a walrus, however, he will give you a Jiggy and let you explore his cave. Banjo can also explore after this, but all Wozza asks him to do is take the sole Jinjo, which he finds annoying how it cries for help.

===Gobi's Valley===
====Trunker====
'''Trunker''' is a tree growing in the oasis at the start of the level. He complains of dehydration and needs water badly. He finally recieves his wish when Gobi the camel, who rests under him after being freed by Banjo from a rock, spits his water supply into the tree's mouth after Kazooie slams on his back. His thirst quenched, Trunker grows taller and gives Banjo a Jiggy, which pops up on top of his head.

====Gobi====
'''Gobi''' is the [[camel]] after whom the valley is named. He is tied down when Banjo and Kazooie first meet him, and is complaining about the heat. When he is freed, Gobi runs off and rests next to Trunker, but refuses to share his water with the tree until Banjo forces him to. Later, when Banjo forces Gobi to cough up a hollow honeycomb, Gobi grows annoyed and announces his departure from the valley. Gobi later turns up under a large flower in [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Click Clock Wood|Click Clock Wood]], where Banjo forces him to give up his water for a second time. Finally, he is fed up, and decides to leave for a "lava world", introduced in Banjo-Tooie as [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Hailfire Peaks|Hailfire Peaks]]. However, on the way, Grunty captures him and uses him as an attraction in her theme park, [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Witchyworld|Witchyworld]]. Banjo and Kazooie free him and he continues to the lava world, where he is used to cool the insides of Chuffy the Train so Chuffy can access the icy side. Also, in the sequel, Gobi is seen wearing a beard and is thus dubbed the "Ancient Bearded Camel". If the player goes to see him first as Banjo alone, Gobi reveals that his beard is fake and was put on him to make him more popular.

====Rubee, Toots & Histup====
'''Rubee''' is a snake charmer who lives inside Kazooie's pyramid. He is accompanied by an anteater-like companion named '''Toots''', who returns in Banjo-Tooie as King Jingaling's pet (it is unknown if these two appearances are the same Toots or not). Putting five eggs on the moving basket will make his snake, '''Histup''', rise, giving Banjo access to a Jiggy.

===Mad Monster Mansion===
====Motzand====
'''Motzand''' is a ghostly hand that can be found playing the organ inside the church. He challenges Banjo to keep up with his playing. If Banjo is able to do so (by slamming on the keys Motzand presses), Motzand will reward him with a Jiggy.

====Napper====
'''Napper''' is a giant ghost who is found sleeping inside the dining room of the mansion. He has been positioned by Gruntilda to protect a Jiggy, which he puts inside him. If Banjo takes one step on the wooden floor, it will creak and awaken Napper. To obtain the Jiggy, Banjo must climb the roof of the mansion, fall down the chimney, hop across the chairs positioned in front of him and grab it while he sleeps. After taking it, Napper will be scolded by Grunty and leave.

====Loggo====
'''Loggo''' is a toilet that can be found inside the bathroom of the mansion. A Jiggy can be found inside of him, but the only way Banjo can obtain it is to transform into a pumpkin with Mumbo's magic and have Loggo flush him down. Loggo reappears in Banjo-Tooie in the bathroom of Grunty Industries, claiming that Gruntilda moved him there. He has been clogged with one of Cheato's pages, which can only be obtained by performing a drill attack.

===Rusty Bucket Bay===
====Snorkel====
'''Snorkel''' is a dolphin that has been trapped under the anchor of Grunty's ship, the ''Rusty Bucket''. If Banjo finds the switch that controls the anchor, Snorkel will be freed and reward him with a Jiggy.

===Click Clock Wood===
====Gnawty====
'''Gnawty''' is a beaver whose home is blocked by a large boulder. It can only be removed during the summer when the river is dry. He invites you in to reward you; unfortunately, the lack of water makes it impossible for Banjo to enter, so the Jiggy can only be obtained during the fall when the river has filled once again. He apparently does not prepare for visitors in winter since the river freezes over, and there is only one hole in the ice that is located fairly far from his house. Gnawty is from the Donkey Kong Series also made by [[Rareware|Rare]].

====Eyrie====
'''Eyrie''' is an eagle whom Banjo and Kazooie must raise throughout the year. He is born in the spring when the duo break his egg, and falls asleep soon after. He then asks them to feed him caterpillars during the summer and fall, asking for more in the latter season than the former. By the winter, he grows into an adult eagle and flies away, but not before giving Banjo and Kazooie a Jiggy as thanks.

====Nabnut====
'''Nabnut''' is a squirrel who absolutely loves acorns. He keeps eating his acorns from the spring to the summer until he has no more, growing completely full of them. By the fall, he realizes he has no acorns left for the winter and asks Banjo and Kazooie to help him gather some before he hibernates, giving them a Jiggy as a reward if they accomplish this. During the winter, he sleeps with an unnamed pink squirrel (presumably his wife or girlfriend) and dreams of eating acorns.

==Introduced in Banjo-Tooie==
===Isle O' Hags===
====Mingella and Blobbelda====

'''Mingella and Blobbelda''' are the sisters of [[Gruntilda Winkybunion|Gruntilda]]. The two built B.O.B (Big O Blaster) and Hag 1 (Digger), and currently reside under a couple of 1-ton weights in [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Cauldron Keep|Cauldron Keep]], the witches' hideout, where they were ironically flattened by Grunty herself during another one of her infamous end-of-game quizzes. The two sisters also stopped Grunty's rhyming.

Mingella is bone-thin, tall, and has an abnormally long nose and pink hair. She carries a spell book around with her and can be described as a stereotypical witch. Like Gruntilda, she and Blobbelda have an unusual colloquial habit: in their case, they employ [[anastrophe]], reverting the proper order of sentences similar to [[Yoda]] (e.g. they angrily say "Annoying your rhyming is" instead of "Your rhyming is annoying" when Gruntilda asks them in rhyme how the sisters plan to "get her body back").

Blobbelda can be described as "shapely" as Grunty puts it during the Tower of Tragedy Quiz, she is also short, carries a blue cat under her arm (which is not named) and has red-orange hair. She is a stereotypical witch, with green skin and warts, but unlike her sisters, doesn't wear a hat. Her voice sound is low and rumbly as compared to Mingella's which is scratchier (like Grunty's, only a much higher pitch).

====King Jingaling====

'''King Jingaling''' is ruler of the peaceful [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Jinjo Village|Jinjo Village]], where his golden temple is located. He carries with him a mysterious pink pet named Toots, who appears exactly like Rubee's pet companion from [[Gobi's Valley]] and could easily have just come into the kings possession. After the player has beaten [[Klungo]] and visited Jingaling, the king becomes one of [[Gruntilda Winkybunion|Gruntilda]]'s victims as she tries to suck up the life forces of characters in the [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Isle O' Hags|Isle O' Hags]] to create a new body for herself, turning the King into a zombie (Toots is reduced to a pile of ash, with only a pair of blinking eyes remaining). At the end of the game, he is rescued by [[Banjo Bear|Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] when they infiltrate Gruntilda's hideout, Cauldron Keep. They use the B.O.B (Big-O'-Blaster) to revive everyone Grunty had sucked all the life away from, including Jingaling and Bottles. King Jingaling seems to act young seeing as he says "yo" often. He is one of the few characters Kazooie does not seem to insult - she even thinks his "strange pet thingy" is "cool". The duo often get his name wrong (Banjo mistakenly calls him "King Dingaling").

====Master Jiggywiggy====

'''Master Jiggywiggy''' is the keeper and leader of the golden [[token]]s called "[[Jiggies]]" and the mystical Crystal Jiggy. He is a fairly important character, as he is the one to open up the levels in which you must venture in, although you technically have to solve the jigsaw puzzle first in order for him to do so. He wears a bright yellow [[tunic]] and a bright blue [[cloak]] with Jiggy images on it held up by a honeycomb-shaped [[brooch]], and his head resembles a Jiggy. Jiggywiggy appears again, in his younger form, in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]. He can be considered a high priest in apperanace and his role. Other characters resembling him populate his temple, but they wear plain brown robes.

{{clear}}

====Honey B.====

'''Honey B.''' is a giant, beautiful queen bee (dwarfing Banjo in size) who lives in a large beehive on the Plateau on the Isle o' Hags or in "Spiral Rise" in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]. She offers extra energy in exchange for hollow honeycombs.

{{clear}}

====Speccy and Goggles====

'''Speccy''' and '''Goggles''' are the son and daughter, respectively, of Bottles and Mrs. Bottles. Their names are taken from the first game where Kazooie insults Bottles using these names. Speccy appears older and is proud of his father, boasting that he can beat the Jinjos in the upcoming Jinjo vs. Mole kickball tournament. Speccy plays with a toy fighter plane and also wears the same cap that the protagonist of the [[Pokemon]] series, [[Ash Ketchum]] wears. Goggles gives Banjo and Kazooie the Amaze-O-Gaze glasses invented by Bottles and she can be seen playing with a [[Donkey Kong (character)|Donkey Kong]] doll. Both children have [[Jet Force Gemini]] posters adorned on the walls of their rooms.

===Mayahem Temple===
====Officer Unogopaz====
'''Officer Unogopaz''' is a large [[tiger]]-like Moggy who guards the entrance to the Mayan kickball [[stadium]]. He is very stubborn and refuses entry into the stadium to anyone other than Stonies playing in the games. His name is a pun of "You no go pass", which describes his work ethic rather well. He is used by Rare to knowingly poke fun at the obvious resemblance between Banjo and his various magic-induced forms (all transformations retain the trademark shorts and backpack, for example); he sees straight through Banjo's Stony disguise, telling him it's "pretty obvious", but lets him into the stadium anyway.

====Bloatizan====
A priest of the high god Targitzan, Chief Bloatizan is encountered by Banjo in a small side temple where he is in a panic over losing Targitzan's "Sacred Priceless Relic Thingy", a golden idol of the god himself. The Unga Bunga cavemen stole it through a shortcut between worlds which Banjo exploits to steal it back.

====Targitzan====
The boss of Mayahem Temple, he inhabits the temple at the centre of the world. As Banjo and Kazooie progress further underground collect small green idols in the temple, Targitzan grants them access first to his "Slightly Sacred Chamber" and then later to his "Really Sacred Chamber". In the latter, the god confronts them and attempts to destroy them by spitting darts; however, the duo defeat him by shooting the targets all over his body and eventually he breaks apart.


{{clear}}

===Glitter Gulch Mine===
====Canary Mary====
'''Canary Mary''' is a [[canary]] who was once used in the mine to warn miners of dangerous gases. Eventually, she was locked in a cage inside a gaseous chamber, until Banjo and Kazooie freed her. Afterwards, Mary raced them, with Banjo controlling a minecart. She appears in [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Cloud Cuckooland|Cloud Cuckooland]] for another race, this time Banjo drives a Clockwork Mouse. This second race is one of the most difficult minigames in Banjo-Tooie, if not ''the'' most. When rewarding the bear and bird, she feels the need to describe where on her body she found whatever object she is giving them was wedged: in unpleasant spots, to say the least.

====Old King Coal====
'''Old King Coal (Grubby Boiler Monarch)''' inhabits the firebox of a locomotive called Chuffy. He fights Banjo and Kazooie, who want to take control of the engine. After you defeat him, Old King Coal believes you are worthy of riding his train, and he gladly drives Chuffy over to any train station you call him to.

{{clear}}

===Witchyworld===

====Mrs. Boggy====
'''Mrs. Boggy''' is the wife of Boggy. During her stay at Witchyworld, her children all ran off in different places, and she was unable to find them.

====Big Al====
'''Big Al''' is a rhinoceros who sells burgers in Witchyworld. He does not know exactly how he got the job, but he says he used to clean the toilets. He has terrible hygiene standards (he has a bad green cough, a runny nose, and a tendency to "accidentally" use it on his burgers, and he uses burgers that he had dropped on the ground).


====Salty Joe====
'''Salty Joe''' the weasel is the misanthropic fry vendor. Joe is a bit rude, and he hates customers because they always want things. If you visit him as lone Banjo, Joe asks if he can be your sidekick (probably because he thought that Banjo didn't need Kazooie any more when she is not seen with you). He has a constant cold and will sometimes sneeze on the fries.


====Mr. Patch====
'''Mr. Patch (Strange Wobbly Inflatable Thing)''' is the boss of Witchyworld, a large green inflatable dinosaur-esque creature. When Conga lets Banjo and Kazooie into the tent, they search for their seats when Mr. Patch appears. After Kazooie comments on his size ("That Klungo freak near the start was probably bigger than you!"), he puffs himself up to an incredible height, almost reaching the ceiling, and the fight begins. Once the duo shoots out the first of his many multicolored patches (his "weak point"), he sends punching gloves to come up from the ground to attack, forcing the duo to shoot him down from the air. Also, he'll cough up explosive beach balls while Banjo and Kazooie are flying. His plug finally bursts, and he deflates like a balloon.


===Jolly Roger's Lagoon===
====Jolly Roger====
'''Jolly Roger''' the frog is the extremely effeminate bartender at "Jolly's", the pub at the lagoon. When Banjo and Kazooie meet him, he is depressed because his friend and partner is lost somewhere in the lagoon. He allows the two to rent the tavern's only room, although he warns that a mole has dug a hole through the floor. He is currently in a relationship with his friend Merry Maggie.

====Merry Maggie====
'''Merry Maggie''' is a large, lipstick-bedecked frog and Jolly Roger's assistant. She is swallowed by a giant fish while waveracing. Banjo-Kazooie must enter the fish to rescue her (similar to Princess Ruto in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) and after doing so, they are awarded a Jiggy by Jolly Roger as thanks.

====Captain Blackeye====
'''Captain Blackeye''' is a curious character who sits in the back room at Jolly's. He appears to be a [[pirate]], and he drinks perpetually. Blackeye rants continuously about how a bear who looked like Banjo (or so he believes) stole his glory. He appears to be the same individual seen in pictures in Mad Monster Mansion, albeit a bit more haggard. He is also rumored to be linked to the mysterious Stop 'n' Swop. One of his infamous remarks is "''I once had a Dream....''" The project name for ''Banjo-Kazooie'' was in fact Dream, so this causes many to believe that before [[Rare (company)|Rare]] thought of making Banjo and Kazooie into a game, they would have a pirate game starring Captain Blackeye.
Nintendo however mentions him on their official site for Banjo-Kazooie.[http://web.archive.org/web/20010330072738/banjo-kazooie.com/rusty/correct.html]
Captain Blackeye is also suggested to be the owner of the Rusty Bucket in [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Rusty Bucket Bay|Rusty Bucket Bay]].

His purpose in ''Banjo-Tooie'', however, is very minor. If the player talks to him three times, he will threaten to kill Banjo and Kazooie if they do it again. On the fourth attempt, he will attempt to (as implied by his dialouge), but he's too seasick so he gives Banjo and Kazooie two doubloons to fetch him a glass of water, but then he faints in a comical fashion, and can still be talked to as he spouts off his infamous remarks.

====Pawno====
'''Pawno''' is a sly rat who runs a dirty business in [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Jolly Roger's Lagoon|Jolly Roger's Lagoon]]. He offers to sell his two highest priced items, a Jiggy and one of [[#Cheato|Cheato]]'s pages, to ''Banjo-Kazooie'', but only if they come up with the right amount of money. Some of his other items, which he has not managed to sell yet, are from various levels in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' such as the [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Mad Monster Mansion|Mad Monster Mansion]] portrait of Brentilda and the doll of Grunty from Furnace Fun.

====Tiptup Jr.====
'''Tiptup Jr.''' is the son of Tiptup. His egg was long overdue to hatch, and Tiptup begged Banjo and Kazooie to help. Once Kazooie learned the Hatch move from Jamjars, she could go back and hatch the egg. Tiptup gave the bear and bird a Jiggy for their help and went home to introduce Tiptup Jr. to his nineteen sisters.

====Chris P. Bacon====
'''Chris P. Bacon''' is a photographer who was found taking pictures of ancient paintings inside a temple in Atlantis, but he gets harassed by sinister fish who bite him despite the fact that he is in a cage. Banjo and Kazooie must shoot eggs at the fish until Chris is done taking pictures. Apparently, he uses a [[Gameboy]] and [[Gameboy Camera]] in his job as he is seen holding them in his hand when you meet him. He also wears blue swimming flippers and [[British flag]] swimwear. His name comes from the pun "Crispy Bacon", which is rather appropriate as he is a pig.

His name was made in a Nintendo Official Magazine UK competition. The creator of the name was Rai Butera.

====Lord Woo Fak Fak====
'''Lord Woo Fak Fak (Self-Important Anglerfish)''' is the level boss of [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Jolly Roger's Lagoon|Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] in [[Banjo-Tooie]], and resides at the bottom of the level's ocean in a broken locker labeled "D. Jones", a reference to the seafarer's legend of [[Davy Jones' Locker]]. He is a huge [[anglerfish]] with small [[bioluminescence|luminous]] spots in his body. He calls these glowing spots his precious boils, if he is hit in that weak spot he will bleed. He, unlike other bosses, can also be fought while Banjo and Kazooie are transformed.
Lord Woo Fak Fak mentions (after you have defeated him) that he used to be a hero. What this means is unknown, but it may be a reference to [[Glimmer]] in the [[Donkey Kong (series)|''Donkey Kong'' series]], who help the Kongs out by illuminating the dark underwater areas they sometimes visit. Zombie King Jingaling mentions that himself and Fak Fak often go fishing together. Again, what this means is not known. Also, if attacked after defeated, will say he knows Banjo's father.


===Terrydactyland===
====''Styracosaurus'' Family====
The ''[[Styracosaurus]]'' family is composed of mother '''Scrotty''' and her three children, '''Scrat''', '''Scrit''' and '''Scrut'''. Much to Scrotty's grief, each of her children has found themselves in some particularly unfortunate circumstances. Her daughter, Scrut, went off to the carnival at [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Witchyworld|Witchyworld]] and never returned (she was put on as the "Mighty Evil Dinosaur" in the Cave of Horrors). Her son Scrit went out one day and came home mysteriously tiny (barely larger than Banjo). And her eldest son, Scrat, seems to have caught a particularly nasty bug which he believes he caught from the bones in the Pterodactyl Soup. When Banjo and Kazooie remedy all of these problems, the family rewards them.

====Chompasaurus====
A [[plesiosaur]] living in the bowels of the central mountain, Chompasaurus consumes Banjo and Kazooie when he encounters them, but allows them out again after they rid him of a large number of stomach ulcers. He rewards them with a Jiggy which he also swallowed.

====Stomponadon====
A particularly large [[theropod]], Stomponadon is the sole inhabitant of the Stomping Plains, so named because the violent creature will furiously attempt to step on any intruders and can kill them with a mere two blows. Sometimes the zombified King Jingaling will warn the player to avoid the Stomping Plains as "Stomponadon has a terrible temper". Even in the character parade, the only part of Stomponadon that is seen is his leg.

====Terry====
Terry begins as the boss of the level, who at first blames Banjo for the disappearance of his four eggs. The instruction manual states that his wife left him to raise the hatchlings alone, but the eggs were stolen. After defeating Terry, Banjo tells him that he and Kazooie didn't steal the eggs from him but are willing to find them, to which Terry agrees and thanks them.

===Grunty Industries===
====Clinker====
'''Clinker''' is an [[anthropomorphic]] [[loudspeaker]] who never appears in "person", but whose voice is heard whenever Banjo & Kazooie make a misstep in [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Grunty Industries|Grunty Industries]]. His voice is heard often throughout Clinker's Cavern, implying that the cavern is his and that his name is, indeed, Clinker, although the fungi-like creatures that the player must clean off the vents in Clinker's Cavern are also referred to as "Clinkers". The area's name is also a pun on [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Clanker's Cavern|"Clanker's Cavern"]], a level from the previous game.

====Weldar====
The boss of Grunty Industries is arguably the hardest boss to locate in the game as several trials must be overcome before he can be reached. Weldar, a giant welding torch, resides at the bottom of Grunty Industries in the air conditioning plant. When Banjo and Kazooie find him, he drags himself out and announces formally that bears are not allowed in the building. He is somewhat short-sighted, as Kazooie convinces him that Banjo is not a bear, but he decides to attack anyway since he has already made his appearance. After being defeated, he is reduced to nothing more than a head (the mouth of the torch apparatus) and crashes into the power box for the A/C Plant; all the fans in the cellar consequently turn off and the duo are then able to reach his Jiggy, which he stashed behind a giant fan for safekeeping.

===Hailfire Peaks===
====Aliens====
Banjo and Kazooie first meet the aliens in [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Jolly Roger's Lagoon|Jolly Roger's Lagoon]], where their ship is out of power. After the duo power up their ship again with Ice Eggs (getting a Jiggy that they'd landed on for their troubles), the aliens go to and again crash-land on the Icy Side of [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Hailfire Peaks|Hailfire Peaks]]. The jolt of the landing causes the father to fall out of the saucer in midair and kills him, but he is revived by [[Mumbo Jumbo (Banjo-Kazooie)|Mumbo]]. Banjo and Kazooie must then reunite him with his kids, the reward for which is a Jiggy. As evidenced by the character parade, the adult aliens are named '''Alph''', '''Beti''' and '''Gammo''' (after the first three letters of the Greek alphabet) and the children likewise, '''Alphet''', '''Bettet''' and '''Gamet'''. Kazooie asks one if any of them are called [[Perfect Dark|Elvis]].

====Sabreman====
'''[[Sabreman]]''', the star of the video game [[Sabre Wulf]], got lost and was frozen to death in [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Hailfire Peaks|Hailfire Peaks]]' Icy Side while chasing his archnemesis '''Sabre Wulf'''. He is revived by Mumbo, and then must be warmed up by Banjo and Kazooie. After getting a ride back to his tent on the Lava Side, Sabreman rewards Banjo with a a Jiggy. He also falls asleep in his bed quickly after. Sometimes he will talk in his sleep.

====Chiili Billi and Chilly Willy====
Both of these dragons keep watch over their side of Hailfire Peaks, with Chilli Billi watching the lava side and Chilly Willy watching the ice side. Before the player defeats them, they will occasionally hurl balls of fire or ice at them from afar out of spite; they can usually be heard doing so. Both dragons unwittingly provide Banjo and Kazooie with a means to reach them; Chilli Billi destroys a building concealing a flight pad, and Chilly Willy injures a yeti named Biggafoot who is preventing the duo from taking a pair of claw clamber boots. Once Banjo and Kazooie reach the summits, both dragons fail to recognise them as the same characters they've been attacking and somehow mistake them for pizza deliverers. When the duo refuse to give them their pizzas, the dragons angrily attack them, and so the duo use cannons to defeat them. After being defeated, the dragons depart the peaks to get fast food instead. Once they leave, their bombardment of the world below ceases.

===Cloud Cuckooland===
====Superstash====
'''Superstash''' is a giant safe in the Central Cavern of [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Cloud Cuckooland|Cloud Cuckooland]] that is charged with guarding Gruntilda's valuables, namely, a Jiggy. He'd gladly give over his contents, but unfortunately for Banjo and Kazooie, he's lost his combination. The bear and bird must travel around the area to find four numbers: 1, 9, 8, and 4 ([[1984]] is the year that Rare, the creators of Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, was formed). Once the four numbers are safely back with their master, he will swing open to reveal the Jiggy.

====Mr Fit====
A fitness-obsessed aardvark who challenges the pair to a series of sporting events, Mr Fit wears a purple tracksuit and waits for his competition by doing star jumps while holding dumbbells. He challenges the pair to the high jump, sack race and 100-metre sprint, and is defeated all three times, finally relinquishing a Jiggy.

====Mingy Jongo====
In Cloud Cuckooland are two Mumbo skulls instead of one - one pink and one blue - and their inhabitants are random. If there is a Minjo in one, then the inhabitant is Mumbo. If the inhabitant is a Jinjo, then proceeding upstairs will lead to an encounter with '''Mingy Jongo''', a cyborg disguised as Mumbo, who claims to be a bounty hunter. He seals off the exit and attempts to destroy Banjo with a series of fast-paced frenetic attacks from his zap stick, as well as the ability to teleport, although every so often both abilities will short out and he attempts to recharge. The more damage he takes, the more his robotic form is revealed, similar to the [[Terminator]]. Upon being defeated, he announces that his chances of beating Banjo are "minimal" and he explodes.

===Cauldron Keep===
====Hag 1====
The '''Hag 1 (Monstrous Mechanical Mud-Muncher)''' is a gigantic drilling machine that Gruntilda and her sisters use to get around in. It is equipped with [[lasers]], [[mortar]] cannons, and [[toxic gas]]. The machine is fought on the top of [[Locations in the Banjo-Kazooie series#Cauldron Keep|Cauldron Keep]], where it is being driven by Gruntilda. Gruntilda uses spare quiz cards and launches spells at the duo. Both of the Hag 1's batteries must be taken out with a Clockwork Kazooie Egg. It isn't until the end of the fight that Gruntilda's last name is revealed. The machine explodes to bits when Gruntilda drops a spell. It has a U.K. number plate written "HAG 1" on it and a "GB" [[international oval]] at the back.

==Introduced in Grunty's Revenge==
===Bozzeye===
'''Bozzeye''' is a distant cousin of Bottles and his family. He teaches moves in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]] in place of Bottles and Jamjars when Banjo travels back in time. Kazooie points out that he seems to have two lazy eyes.
