Nipper

Nipper is a giant hermit crab found near the entrance to Treasure Trove Cove in Banjo-Kazooie. He claims ownership of a small beach of land and offers Banjo and Kazooie his assistance in finding treasures, but quickly becomes enraged at the rude little bird's smart attitude and engages the duo in a fight.

Fortunately, his arms have a limited reach, so his violent snapping can be avoided simply by standing a few steps back. Nipper will take a short break after several snaps, leaving his face vulnerable to a quick attack by the Rat-a-tat Rap, while increasing the speed of his snaps afterward. After his face has been hit three times, Nipper will retreat inside his shell and mysteriously disappear. His shell can then be entered to find Musical Notes, Blue Eggs, two Snippets, and a Jiggy.

Nipper can be found again once Banjo and Kazooie exit the world and revisits his beach; however, his shell will not have the Jiggy inside it.
