Grille Chompa

Grille Chompa is an enemy found in Clanker's Cavern, Mad Monster Mansion (inside Loggo), Rusty Bucket Bay and in several areas around Gruntilda's Lair. This bizarre fish- or slug-like enemy hides within broken grates on walls in damp and dark areas. If Banjo and Kazooie get too close, the Grille Chompa will growl and lunge from its hole, biting at the air a few times before retreating back. It will continue to do so until Banjo and Kazooie move away or it is killed.

Although Grille Chompas look tough, they have extremely low vitality and can be killed with a single well-timed attack such as the Rat-a-tat Rap whenever their bodies are exposed. They can prove themselves to be very irritating as they are mostly found on high up walks, pushing the bear and bird off the edge.

A similar version of the Grille Chompa, the Portrait Chompa, also appears in Mad Monster Mansion. They are very similar to the Big Cluckers of Click Clock Wood.
