Bleater

"Baaa-ravo!! Here ewe go!"

- A Bleater

The Bleaters are wooly white sheep that live in Cliff Farm in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, and are involved with two different Jiggies. Their name comes from the word "Bleat", which is the sound that a sheep or goat makes.

The Bleaters talk in farm-based puns, much like Bovina does in Banjo-Tooie. Specifically the Bleaters have a tendancy to encorperate the phrase "Baaa" into most of their sentances.

Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge
Once Banjo approacehs the large flock of Bleaters in Cliff Farm, one of them woefully tells him that Grunty's minions have overun the farm, and now they no longer feel safe bathing alone. In the mini-game that they are involved in, Sheep Dip, Banjo must reel in the Bleaters in from a muddy pond and put them into tubs of clean water. Banjo must reel in twelve bleaters in order to win their Jiggy.

Four Bleaters were also trapped in a small enclosure where a Gruntweed was trying to "play" with them. Banjo tires to tell it that they are scared and do not want to play, but the Gruntweed stubbornly refuses to free them and insits on fighting Banjo. The four sheep reward Banjo with another Jiggy once he defeats it.

Banjo-Pilot
The Bleaters make a small cameo in this game. Two Bleaters, along with other characters from Bnajo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, appear during the award ceremony after each cup.

Trivia

 * The Bleaters hold the honor of being the only thing from Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge to be mentioned in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Upon the completion of the mission "Canned and Panned" (which involves transporting spherical inflatable sheep from one part of Banjoland to another) Bottles will say that it is clear that Banjo already had practice herding sheep, a possible reference to Sheep Dip. However if the duo get a T.T. Trophy for completing the challenge, Bottles' dialogue is different and makes no mention of the Bleaters minigame.
