| ==Characteristics==
| | '''Tickers''' are overgrown termite baddies found mainly on [[Mumbo's Mountain]]. They inhabit a gigantic termite mound known as Ticker's Tower which is just downhill of the village where [[Mumbo Jumbo]]'s skull hut is and can easily be seen from any point in the world. [[Banjo]] can enter the mound, but the slopes leading to the upper levels are far too steep for even the [[Talon Trot]] to tackle, so Mumbo's help is needed to transform Banjo himself into a [[Termite Banjo|termite]], allowing him to climb the slippery slopes. While Tickers wear no clothing themselves, they have an eye for Termite Banjo's shorts and backpack, and will attempt to bully him out of them when he passes by. |
| Tickers are large termite enemies appearingly mainly in [[Mumbo's Mountain]], where they inhabit a giant termite mound named [[Ticker's Tower]], near the village where [[Mumbo's Skull]] is located. Despite being classified as termites, Tickers more closely resemble ants. When [[Banjo]] enters Ticker's Tower, a Ticker tells him that he is not welcome. The slopes are too steep for Banjo and Kazooie to climb, even if they use [[Talon Trot]]. Once Banjo has transformed into a [[Termite Banjo|termite]], he can move up the slopes. Along the way, the Tickers are jealous of Banjo's shorts and backpack and demand he give it to them. As such, Termite Banjo also takes damage from Tickers just like his usual form does. If Banjo and Kazooie have visited Mumbo's Mountain at least once, a Ticker is found in the world's lobby in [[Gruntilda's Lair]]. There are also three Tickers inside [[Freezeezy Peak]]'s large Christmas tree. | |

| ==Other appearances==
| | In addition to Mumbo's Mountain, one Ticker can be found just outside the world entrance in [[Gruntilda's Lair]], and there are three seemingly out-of-place Tickers inside the large Christmas tree in [[Freezeezy Peak]]. |
| A model for Tickers was created for the canceled remake of ''Banjo-Kazooie'' titled ''[[Banjo X]]''. [[Steve Mayles]] shared a brief animation of its model on Twitter in 2016, erroneously referring to the enemy as '''Termites'''.<ref>[https://twitter.com/WinkySteve/status/716692381320482817 Steve Mayles on Twitter: "'05 BanjoX termite is back in action!
