Ssslumber

"Thought you steal Ssslumber's gold while he spelt did you? Well, to be honest... But I heard you coming, clumsy bear. Oh..." ~ Ssslumber the Snake

In Banjo-Tooie, Ssslumber is an enormous snake with a keen sense of hearing found in Mayahem Temple. He has a long tongue and thin, sharp fangs. He guards a Jiggy on top of the Code Room building and is surrounded by a mat of loose twigs which will snap underfoot, alerting the snake to any would-be thieves. Only by climbing up onto a small twig-less square and then tiptoeing by pushing the control stick very lightly can Banjo and Kazooie sneak up on Ssslumber and grab the Jiggy.

Interestingly, after you have collected his Jiggy, Ssslumber will not wake up again, regardless of how much noise you make on the branches or even if you try to attack him.
