'''Gruntilda's Lair''', also known as simply '''Grunty's Lair''', is a recurring location in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].

==Features and overview==
Gruntilda's Lair is a building in [[Spiral Mountain]] and the residence of [[Gruntilda]], with its entrance being shaped like her head.

===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
[[File:Gruntilda's Lair B-K interior.png|thumb|220px|The first room of Gruntilda's Lair in ''Banjo-Kazooie'']]
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Gruntilda's Lair is the game's hub world and can be entered by using the bridge in Spiral Mountain. [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] are forced to enter it after the evil witch kidnaps the bear's sister, [[Tooty]], in order to steal her beauty. The only way to reach [[Winkybunion Tower]], the top of the lair and where Gruntilda is fought, is by venturing through the worlds inside to obtain [[Jiggy|Jiggies]] and complete the [[Jigsaw Picture]]s until the entire lair is traversed.

===''Grunty's Revenge''===
{{quote|Now you've entered my fair castle, I'm going to give you lots of hassle. Before you can go up a floor, I'll test your brain a little more. When an answer is correct, with button {{button|gba|A}} you can select.|[[Mecha Grunty]]|[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]}}
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Grunty's Lair appears as the final world, with 50 Jiggies being required to enter it. Inside, [[Mecha-Grunty]] is fought and, when she is defeated, Banjo is forced to play a quiz. The questions are fairly easy, with them all asking "Where is this?," "Where would you see this?," "Can you beat this game?," "What makes this sound?" and "Where would you hear this?," followed by a sprite, sound or mini-game. After Banjo gets 2 answers right, he has to fight [[Klungo]] again and, once he defeats him too, the quiz resumes. After 5 questions have been answered correctly, Mecha-Grunty takes him to Winkybunion Tower where the final battle against her takes place.

===''Banjo-Tooie''===
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Gruntilda's Lair has been mostly destroyed, with rocks blocking the way and only the entrance left standing, that being where [[Cheato]] is found.

===''Banjo-Pilot''===
In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', the entrance to Gruntilda's Lair can be seen in the background of Spiral Mountain although it is never entered.

===''Nuts & Bolts''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', the entrance to Gruntilda's Lair can be seen although it can't be entered due to the rocks blocking the mouth. The lair's left eye can be picked up with [[Mumbo's Wrench]] and needs to be taken to the garbage in [[Banjo's House]] during the [[Lord of Games]]' challenge.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
Gruntilda's Lair appears as a background element on the Spiral Mountain stage. However, due to the stage's rotation mechanic, it will not always be visible.

==Trivia==
*Gruntilda's Lair's theme is based on the song "''{{wp|The Teddy Bears' Picnic}}''." The theme has 20 different variations in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', including three on the main version and two variations per level, one for the jigsaw puzzle and one for the level entry area, except for the Mumbo's Mountain jigsaw, which uses the regular theme, Rusty Bucket Bay, which is connected to the level entrance, and possibly Freezeezy Peak, as there is an identical sounding "jigsaw" and "entrance" version. In the case of Gobi's Valley and Clanker's Cavern, the jigsaw theme sounds noticeably different from the level entry area theme.
* In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge'', a broken statue of [[King Jingaling]]'s head can be found in front of Gruntilda's Lair. This implies Gruntilda built her home in the place of the statue.
*In ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' both of the eyes in Gruntilda's Lair can be seen, but in ''Banjo-Tooie'' and ''Banjo-Pilot'' the left eye is missing. In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', the right eye is missing, and the left one can be picked up.
