Ripper

Ripper is an enemy, native to Mad Monster Mansion, but a few can be found at the entrance to the world at Gruntilda's Lair in Banjo-Kazooie. He is a large, grey gravestone with writing "R.I.P" written on his front (Rest In Peace). He is quite strong but if attacked from the back with the Rat-a-tap-tap ability, he can be defeated quickly. He camoflauges himself among the other normal gravestones sitting patiently for Banjo to come. He will then pop up and attack. The ones in Mad Monster Mansion are smaller. They also appear in Nuts & Bolts in Banjoland as decorations.
