Minion

"Have we got any more tricks left? Ah yes, the minions... There he goes... Go get them, doofus!"

Gruntlings are small, green enemies found throughout Spiral Mountain and the various areas of the Isle O' Hags in Banjo-Tooie. They serve as successors to the original Gruntlings who first appeared in Banjo-Kazooie.

When Banjo and Kazooie walk past them, Gruntlings will immediately attack the duo by hitting the ground with their fists. They can be defeated by mostly any attack due to their low health.

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, the "Gruntling" Stop 'n' Swop blueprint is very similar to the eponymous enemy.
