Stony

"To free the trapped one, a star must appear before the sun rises. Another star appears followed by two moons. Does that help?"

- Stony

The Stonies are a species of small, rock-like creatures in the Banjo-Kazooie series. They are native to the Mayahem Temple, but a few are present in other locations too. They also have their own language, that only other Stonies can understand.

Banjo-Tooie
In Banjo-Tooie, Stonies are found in various places of Mayahem Temple. Interacting with them as Banjo and Kazooie will result in them simply insulting the duo in their own language (saying things such as "kik yu butta" and "kaz-o-iee dym bird"), but they will give hints or simply speak normally if they're transformed into Stony Banjo. They host the Mayan Kickball Tournament in this world, with the reward for winning the finals being a Jiggy.

In the fire side of Hailfire Peaks, Stonies are present in the Colosseum Kickball Tournament, with the reward for completing it also being a Jiggy.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Mr. Fit challenges Banjo and Kazooie to "take on the Stony Kickball challenge" in Act 2 of Banjoland, where various soccer balls that come from a Targitzan statue must be knocked in a goal. Although the challenge has this name, no Stonies are actually present.
