Difference between revisions of "Gruntilda"

In the [[Banjo-Kazooie|first game]], Gruntilda played the the role of "evil witch" quite nicely. She spoke only in rhyme, and was known for her extreme vanity; strange, considering how ugly she appears. She had a bad habit of picking her nose, as seen in the Banjo-Kazooie intro cutscene. Like most witches, she used a broomstick for transportation. When [[Dingpot]] revealed that [[Tooty]], the sister of [[Banjo]], was the "fairest in the land", Gruntilda became incensed and kidnapped the child. She selfishly plotted to use a "Beauty Transfer Machine" to drain Tooty's youth and beauty and transfer it to herself. Banjo and his pal [[Kazooie]] chased the witch through her [[Gruntilda's Lair|massive lair]], where she had created various worlds filled with her minions and challenges. As the pair progressed, Gruntilda shouted rhyming taunts and various insults to keep the pair away. With help from various sources-including her sister [[Brentilda]], who told Banjo and Kazooie answers to some of the questions on her gameshow, the bird and bear duo were able to go through the worlds and reach the last challenge before rescuing Tooty, a twisted gameshow created by Gruntilda called [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]]. After the duo cleared the game, Gruntilda ran away and left them to rescue Tooty. Later, the two journeyed to the roof and battled Grunty, with aid from the [[Jinjo]]s that she had imprisoned throughout the worlds. She was defeated by the Jinjonator and trapped beneath an enormous rock, which her minion [[Klungo]] spent two years attempting to remove. Oddly enough, she remained alive, and vowed revenge upon the pair.
