Ripper

Ripper is an enemy, native to Mad Monster Mansion, but a few can also be found at the entrance to the world at Gruntilda's Lair in Banjo-Kazooie. He is a large, gray gravestone with the writing "R.I.P" written on his front (which stands for "Rest In Peace"). He is quite strong but if attacked from the back with the Rat-a-tat Rap ability, he can be defeated quickly. He camouflages himself among the other normal gravestones while sitting patiently for Banjo and Kazooie to pass by before popping up to attack.

In Mad Monster Mansion, the Rippers are somewhat smaller than the ones outside the world's entrance.

Rippers also appear in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts in Banjoland as decorations.
