'''Gruntilda Winkybunion''' | '''Gruntilda Winkybunion''', often named '''Grunty''' or '''Gruntilda''' for short, is the main antagonist of the ''[[Banjo Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series. She is a wicked witch with magical spells that are capable of doing anything, even going as far as death. She also enjoys rhyming, which really annoys Grunty's three sisters, also they really dislike her rhymes. Grunty also keeps her spells in a book named [[Cheato]], who doesn't enjoy Grunty's plan of becoming beautiful and decides to help [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. | ||
In [[Banjo-Kazooie]], Grunty kidnaps Banjo's sister [[Tooty]] and plans to steal her beauty so she can be the most beautiful woman in all of [[Spiral Mountain]]. | In [[Banjo-Kazooie]], Grunty kidnaps Banjo's sister [[Tooty]] and plans to steal her beauty so she can be the most beautiful woman in all of [[Spiral Mountain]]. | ||

In the [[Banjo-Kazooie|first game]], Gruntilda played the role of the stereotypical "evil witch". She spoke only in rhymes and was known for being extremely vain, which is odd considering how ugly she appears. She has a bad habit of picking her nose, as seen in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' intro cutscene. Like most witches, she uses a [[Gruntilda's Broomstick|broomstick]] for transportation. | |||
When [[Dingpot]] revealed that [[Tooty]], [[Banjo]]'s sister, was the "''prettiest and fairest in the land''", Gruntilda became infuriated and kidnapped Tooty (however, the manual implies that Gruntilda was already planning on snatching a denizen from Spiral Mountain to steal their beauty to one-up her sister, Brentilda. According to the manual, she was actually deep-down glad that Tooty was prettier than her as it gave her an excuse to subject her as her first test specimen). She selfishly plotted to use a "[[Beauty Transfer Machine]]" to drain Tooty's youth and beauty and transfer it to her own ugly self, which would result in Grunty becoming pretty and thin and Tooty becoming ugly, fat and green. Banjo and his good friend [[Kazooie]] chased the witch through her [[Gruntilda's Lair|massive lair]], where she had created several worlds filled with her minions and various challenges to stop the duo. | When [[Dingpot]] revealed that [[Tooty]], [[Banjo]]'s sister, was the "''prettiest and fairest in the land''", Gruntilda became infuriated and kidnapped Tooty (however, the manual implies that Gruntilda was already planning on snatching a denizen from Spiral Mountain to steal their beauty to one-up her sister, Brentilda.

Despite her comical nature, Gruntilda proved herself to be Banjo and Kazooie's strongest enemy. She spends most of the fight riding her broomstick. During the first phase, she flies down fast and tries to impale Banjo and Kazooie with the teeth on her broom. However, her broom starts to slow down after a few passes (two the first and second time around, three the third time around, and four the fourth time around), leaving her vulnerable to the [[Rat-a-tat Rap]]. After every successful attack from the player, Gruntilda will attack with an easily dodge-able fireball. | |||
After taking enough damage, she uses a homing spell. Kazooie can protect Banjo from this by using the Golden Feathers. After, she starts to hover in place and throw fireballs. In a rare moment, she displays some intelligence when doing this because if the player tries to run away from the fireballs before she fires, Gruntilda will throw them into the player's path. After throwing four fireballs, she will take a short pause (the pause shortens every time she moves from one part of the tower to the next), leaving her vulnerable to three [[Eggs]]. | After taking enough damage, she uses a homing spell.

[[Klungo]] builds her a mechanical body, aptly called [[Mecha-Grunty]], for her ghost to inhabit. Rather than fighting the duo as the main antagonist in a body of her own, she operates Mecha-Grunty and causes chaos by going twenty years back in time and kidnapping [[Kazooie]]. However, after Banjo's first battle with the robotic witch, Kazooie was freed and Mecha-Grunty fleed. | |||
Their next battle involved fighting her up above the lighthouse and taking out her mechanical parts one at a time. After her second defeat, Grunty had enough and wanted Klungo to upgrade her up to supreme strength and battle the duo in her lair when it was under construction. | Their next battle involved fighting her up above the lighthouse and taking out her mechanical parts one at a time.

Two years later, Gruntilda was suddenly freed from her prison by the sudden appearance of her sisters [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]]. Their evil spells levitate and destroy the rock that trapped Grunty and they discover that she had been degenerated into a skeleton. Furious at her new bony body, Gruntilda asked her sisters for help in restoring her. "Mingy" and "Blobby" had already planned for such an event, and the three prepared to leave [[Spiral Mountain]]. | |||
Before they did, when [[Mumbo]] had wandered out of Banjo's house to find the source of the ruckus caused when Mingella and Bloddelda entered with the [[Hag 1]] digging machine, Grunty chased him and tried to kill him with magic spells. Seeing him enter Banjo's house, she prepares a bigger spell to destroy it and while Banjo, Kazooie and Mumbo escaped, [[Bottles]] stayed behind assuming Mumbo was lying and trying to win at their poker game, resulting in him being killed by the blast, which also ruined Banjo's house. | Before they did, when [[Mumbo]] had wandered out of Banjo's house to find the source of the ruckus caused when Mingella and Bloddelda entered with the [[Hag 1]] digging machine, Grunty chased him and tried to kill him with magic spells.

Grunty continues her role as an antagonist in this game as well, and has taken up her annoying rhyming once more. She makes her way back to [[Spiral Mountain]], even though she is still a skull (probably why it took her eight years to get there). A now fattened Banjo and Kazooie challenge her to another showdown, but the [[Lord of Games]] pauses the battle and states they shall fight in true ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' style, by collecting random useless objects. A fat [[Banjo]] and bodiless Grunty start to collect the thousands of badges L.O.G. put in front of them, but soon grows impatient of a skull and a fat bear with a fat bird in his backpack running around. He restores Banjo and Kazooie to fighting fit shape and gives them a Magical Wrench, while giving Grunty a robotic form of her original body with a jar for her head and a cat named [[Piddles]]. The three characters go to Showdown Town, where Gruntilda tries to stop Banjo and Kazooie from earning Jiggies and returning to [[Spiral Mountain]] and fight her once more. She appears in all the levels of the game. In Showdown Town, she treats the time off she has from attempting to beat the heroes as a vacation. | Grunty continues her role as an antagonist in this game as well, and has taken up her annoying rhyming once more.
