Gruntydactyl

Gruntydactyls are flying enemies found all over Spiral Mountain and the Isle o' Hags in Banjo-Tooie.

Along with the Minions, Gruntilda and her sisters, Mingella and Blobbelda, sent out Gruntydactyls to destroy the Isle o' Hags and to stop Banjo and Kazooie from following after them. Also like Gruntlings, they appear throughout the Isle O' Hags hub world. They appear to be flying reptiles that patrol the areas in the sky and shortly above the ground. They are a mottled brown, which can blend in somewhat in certain areas. At Cliff Top, there is a lonely Gruntydactyl under the cliff, visible primarily in the establishing shot. Behaviorally, they act similar to Buzzbomb and Scabby from Banjo-Kazooie.

A flying creature similar to the Gruntydactyl, called Soarasaurus, can be found in Terrydactyland.
