'''Captain Blackeye''' is a large human pirate who sits in the back of the tavern [[Jolly's]] of [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. Prior to this appearance, Captain Blackeye was planned as the main antagonist of the cancelled game, ''[[Dream: Land of Giants]]'', which was redeveloped into ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.

'''Captain Blackeye''' is a recurring character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].


Captain Blackeye is a perpetual drinker with depression, which is strongly implied to be because ''Dream'' was never released. Captain Blackeye has a minor role in the game. If [[Banjo]] talks to Captain Blackeye three times, he threatens to attack him and [[Kazooie]]. On the fourth attempt, he tries to attack them (as implied by his dialogue). However, Blackeye is too seasick, as shown from his green face, and falls on his back. Instead, he gives Banjo and Kazooie two [[Doubloon]]s to fetch him a glass of water. Captain Blackeye then faints, but can still be interacted with as he spouts off his remarks.

“Avast there, ye scurvy dogs! I be Captain Blackeye, fearless pirate and scourage of the seas...”
Captain Blackeye, Banjo-Kazooie

Captain Blackeye is a recurring character in the Banjo-Kazooie series.

Characteristics[edit]

Captain Blackeye is a large human pirate originally planned as the main antagonist of the cancelled game Dream: Land of Giants. He is a perpetual drinker with depression, which is implied to be because he "had a dream once" where a bear stole his glory.

Biography[edit]

Banjo-Kazooie[edit]

Captain Blackeye first appears in Banjo-Kazooie, although only as a cameo in the form of a portrait in the mansion of Mad Monster Mansion. The portrait depicts his artwork from Dream: Land of Giants, but is cropped to his head.

Banjo-Tooie[edit]

In Banjo-Tooie, Captain Blackeye has a minor role, sitting in the back of a bar in Jolly Roger's Lagoon. If Banjo talks to him three times, he threatens to attack him and Kazooie. On the fourth attempt, he tries to attack them (as implied by his dialogue). However, Blackeye is too seasick, as shown from his green face, and falls on his back. Instead, he gives Banjo and Kazooie two Doubloons to fetch him a glass of water. Captain Blackeye then faints, but can still be interacted with as he spouts off his remarks.

Nuts & Bolts[edit]

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Captain Blackeye makes a cameo on the Boot in a Box weapon. His picture is on a wanted poster, and there is a shop called "Blackeye's Boat Hire" near the LOGBOX 720 doors.

Other appearances[edit]

In Grabbed by the Ghoulies, pictures of Captain Blackeye can be seen in various rooms of Ghoulhaven Hall. They look very similar to his picture in Banjo-Kazooie.

In Viva Piñata and Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise, a statue of Captain Blackeye called the "Pirate Statue" can be placed on the garden. In Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise, piñatas can also wear the "Blackeye Patch."
