Piddles

Piddles is a character from the game, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. Piddles is Gruntilda's meddlesome new sidekick after Klungo went off to make "ssstupid gamesss".

Mistress and minion start off on the wrong foot right away. When the heroes and villain enter Showdown Town, the Lord of Games gives Kazooie the magic wrench, and Grunty asks what she gets. LOG provides the answer with the real deal: an adorable purple cat. Disgusted, Grunty boots the cat away from her, laughing. However, the cat, named Piddles, is not to be trifled with, and attacks a startled Gruntilda.

In Nutty Acres she can be raced. Trophy Thomas was meant to race her, however his car was being repaired... apparently. After beating her she's used by Grunty again in the LOGbox 720 in a scheme to shut down the system for good. Fortunately, Banjo and Kazooie soon put a stop to this plan before it even begins.

Piddles later assists Grunty in the final battle at Spiral Mountain. After having been defeated by the bear and bird, her head had fallen out of its jar and Piddles helpfully knocked it back in. Neither witch nor cat could stand up to the victorious bear and bird though, and both were sent to L.O.G's video game factory, in whence a scene occured where Piddle's was actually talking, bossing Grunty around. This is probably as she no longer fulfilled the duty of being Grunty's sidekick by this point, but it seems likely she'll reappear in future games.
