Difference between revisions of "Clanker"

'''Clanker''' is a large mechanical whale<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20000303021001/http://www.banjo-kazooie.com/clankers/index.html Clanker's Cavern Banjo-Kazooie.com] (Wayback Machine)</ref> who reluctantly serves as [[Gruntilda]]'s garbage grinder in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. He is featured in the level [[Clanker's Cavern]], which also includes his name in it.

Clanker has an outward metallic shell held together by individual tiles. Despite his mechanical appearance, Clanker also has some exposed flesh on the sides of his body, which is supported by his whole interior, entirely made up of organic material. Although Clanker is a whale (which is also mentioned in a [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]] question), he also sports the gills of a fish and the teeth and fin of a shark. However, Clanker still retains some features. According to [[Gregg Mayles]], Clanker is a "whark", a hybrid between a shark and a whale.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Ghoulyboy/status/614687270784921600 Tweet from Gregg Mayles (@Ghoulyboy)]</ref>
