Bozzeye
Bozzeye is an elderly mole and the ancestor of Bottles. His name likely comes from the term "boz eyed," which refers to a person who has one of their eyes permanently half shut.

History
Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge
In Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, Banjo meets Bozzeye at the start of the game, after Mumbo Jumbo sends him back in time to rescue Kazooie. Bozzeye claims to have received a letter from Mumbo Jumbo saying that Banjo would appear. He tells the bear to visit a nearby molehill to learn his first move, Pack Whack. Banjo can only talk to Bozzeye in front of a molehill, otherwise he prompts Banjo to walk to the front. He appears in all six worlds.
Like Jamjars in Banjo-Tooie, Bozzeye only teaches an ability to Banjo if he acquires a certain number of Musical Notes. As a result of time travel, Banjo and Kazooie forgot how to use their moves, so every move that Bozzeye teaches them is from Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, except the Battery Eggs. If Banjo and Kazooie are low on health and talk to Bozzeye, he automatically restores their health.
Moves taught
Bozzeye teaches a total of 14 moves during the game. The only move he does not teach is Flap Flip, which Kazooie teaches to Banjo when he frees her in Breegull Beach.
