Rocknut

"You never get Jiggy from Rocknut Tribe! We got big tough armor."

- A Rocknut, Banjo-Tooie

The Rocknut Tribe is a tribe of uncivilized, crude cavemen enemies that live in Terrydactyland in Banjo-Tooie. A total of five Rocknuts are found in the level. They resemble the Unga Bunga tribe, another tribe of Terrydactyland. Rocknuts have a large nose, buckteeth, and unshaven features. They appear to have a large protruding chin. Rocknuts wear dull lime-green padding that cover parts of their body, including their arms and head.

While Rocknuts stand around, they primitively strike themselves in the head with their mace-like club. If Banjo and Kazooie get too close to a Rocknut, it tries to hit them with its club. Rocknuts do not move around much, except to turn whenever Banjo and Kazooie change direction. Rocknuts are mostly invulnerable due to their protective armor, but their backs are exposed, allowing Kazooie to defeat them by sending a Clockwork Kazooie Egg behind them. When all five Rocknuts are defeated, Banjo and Kazooie are rewarded a Jiggy, which the Rocknuts call a "shiny rock".

Locations

 * 1) Near the World Entrance on the overhang to the left. The quickest method is for Banjo-Kazooie to be on the ground and to fire a Clockwork-Kazooie Egg in a long arc so that it lands behind the Rocknut.
 * 2) In front of Banjo-Kazooie as they enter the train station, albeit slightly to the right. The best (and most used) method is to shoot a Clockwork-Kazooie Egg, so that it lands on the Rocknut's right-hand side, and then explode once the Clockwork-Kazooie navigates its way to the Rocknut's rear.
 * 3) To the right of the level as you enter it near the Split-Up Pads. You'll approach some holes which only Clockwork-Kazooie can enter. Shoot a Clockwork-Kazooie egg into the left-most hole on the bottom floor. From here, you'll be on the top floor. Walk 3 holes to the right (you'll skip past 2 holes), and enter that hole, then blow up when you're at the rear of the Rocknut tribe member.
 * 4) Behind the waterfall mid-way up the mountain. There should be a small hole near the grate (which is behind the waterfall). Fire a Clockwork Kazooie egg into that hole and blow up when you're at the rear of the Rocknut Tribe member.
 * 5) Where the T-Rex mystery roar-code gate is, there should be a little tunnel to the left of that. That is where the final Rocknut is located. However, the Rocknut takes up the whole tunnel. which means that Banjo-Kazooie will have to stay at one side, and navigate the Clockwork Kazooie Egg over the pieces of rock to the left of the tunnel by jumping over the gaps. Once this section has been done, just jump go to the right, and there should be the other end of the tunnel, go through there and blow up when at the rear. Once all 5 of these have been done, the jiggy should spawn at the location of the Rocknut Member you hit last.

Trivia

 * Their laugh sound effect is called Male Low Throaty Laugh, which is from the Best of Cartoon & Movie Sound F-X album.
