Stony

"To free the trapped one, a star must appear before the sun rises. Another star appears followed by two moons. Does that help?"

- A Stony, Banjo-Tooie

The Stonies are rock-like creatives native to Mayahem Temple, although one Stony can be found within the Colosseum on the lava side of Hailfire Peaks in Banjo-Tooie. Stonies look like small, relatively featureless rocks from a distance, but will spring to life when approached, growing arms, feet, eyes, and a crown- or headdress-like decoration on their head. Stonies have their own language and speak in phrases which sound uncannily like rude insults (such as "kik yu butta" and "kaz-o-iee dym bird"); using the Stony transformation, Banjo and Kazooie can speak to Stonies for tips and hints.

Three Stonies found in the training room of the Kickball Stadium are said to be veteran players of the sport, and the player is suggested to speak with them for hints. However, two of them say obvious things (such as telling them to try to win). The last one, however, provides a detailed overview of the game.

The Stonies which play kickball in the Mayan Kickball Tournament and Colosseum Kickball Tournament have a much more aggressive and intimidating appearance than normal Stonies, sporting a large chin with a sharp-toothed under-bite and angry red eyes.
