Snippet

Snippet is an enemy, found mainly at Treasure Trove Cove but one can also be found out the front of the entrance to the world in Gruntilda's Lair in Banjo-Kazooie 1. He is a huge crab that always attacks the player by walking into them sideways (which is how crabs walk). There is a another crab at Treasure Trove Cove, named Nippy, who is larger than Snippet. Nippy acts as Treasure Trove Cove's level boss. To kill snippet, Banjo must either attack him with either Rat-a-tap-tap, Slash or Roll twice or he can use Beak Buster which will finish him off in one go. Snippet drops 2 Health Honeycomb pieces when attacked with Beak Barge or Wonderwing, or 1 honeycomb when killed with another attack.

Black Snippet
There is also a Black Snippet that looks the same but is obviously black-coloured. He is also stronger and hader to defeat. Banjo must Beak Buster him twice before he is tipped onto his back like the normal one. He guards the Jiggy inside the Sandcastle at Treasure Trove Cove. He hides behind the gate protected until Banjo finishes his puzzle in the time limit.
