Nipper

Nipper is a giant and the boss of Treasure Trove Cove in Banjo-Kazooie.

Banjo-Kazooie
When Banjo and Kazooie first approach Nipper, he claims to own the beach and tells them that they cannot find anything without his help. Kazooie makes a smug remark, which angers Nipper and starts a battle between him and the duo.

In the battle, Nipper tries to attack Banjo and Kazooie by pinching them. Nipper's arms have a limited reach, and the duo can avoid taking damage by standing a few steps back. Nipper briefly pauses after snapping four times, leaving his face open to a Rat-a-tat Rap attack. Nipper snaps his claws more quickly after each hit. After Nipper takes three hits, he is defeated, and he shrinks and retreats into his shell, allowing the duo to enter. Nipper's shell is mostly hollow except for some Musical Notes, Blue Eggs, and a Jiggy. There are also two Snippets inside of the shell.

Nipper can be fought again if Banjo and Kazooie leave and re-enter Treasure Trove Cove.
