'''Dingpot''' is a recurring character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].
'''Dingpot''' is a cauldron who is owned and often abused by [[Gruntilda]]. He is very similar to the [[Magic Cauldrons]] of [[Gruntilda's Lair]] except for the fact that he wears a permanent frown, adorned with one gold tooth, rather than the blissful grins of the other Cauldrons. At the beginning of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Dingpot informs Grunty of [[Banjo]]'s sister, [[Tooty]], who is far more beautiful than Grunty is. This leads Grunty to kidnap Tooty and start Banjo and [[Kazooie]] on their first adventure. Dingpot is not seen any other times throughout the game until Banjo and Kazooie reach him at the top of Gruntilda's Lair, where he has a change of heart and decides to help the two out. He then allows Banjo to jump inside him so he can transport to the [[Top of the Tower|roof of Gruntilda's Lair]] to fight Grunty.


==Characteristics==
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Dingpot resides in [[Cauldron Keep]] and is not seen in any other parts of the game. Instead of transporting Banjo and Kazooie to the final fight, he gives them a "Dingy" bonus, which simply refills their [[Egg]]s and [[Feather]]s. Kazooie, not wanting to jump in Dingpot again, claims that she just finished cleaning her wings from last time. It is unknown how Dingpot came to be at Cauldron Keep as he is not seen leaving with Grunty and her sisters.
Dingpot is a [[Magic Cauldron]] who is shown with a constant frown, and has one gold tooth sticking out. His eye color is green.  


==Biography==
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Gruntilda uses Dingpot as her seat in her vehicles. However, he says nothing, he only moves his eyes and eyebrows when the vehicle is repeatedly beaten. Sometimes, he even opens his mouth.
Dingpot had a history of being treated poorly by his owner, [[Gruntilda]]. She often vomited in Dingpot, used him as a toilet, got dandruff on him when leaning, used him as a garbage can for moldy vegetables and potato peelings, used him as a stove and used him to wash her clothes. At one point, he had a saucepan girlfriend, but her handle was broken by Gruntilda.

===Banjo-Kazooie===
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Dingpot appears in the opening cutscene, where Gruntilda asks him who is the "nicest looking wench." She expects it to be herself, but Dingpot instead tells her that it is [[Banjo]]'s little sister, [[Tooty]]. This makes Grunty angry, so she kidnaps Tooty and tries to steal her beauty, causing [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] to go on an adventure to rescue her.
*'''Gruntilda:''' Dingpot, Dingpot by the bench, who is the nicest looking wench?<br />'''Dingpot:''' Why it's Grunty any day, she really takes my breath away... cough!<br />'''Gruntilda:''' Yes you're right, I'm rather proud, my looks stand me out from the crowd!<br />'''Dingpot: '''Err... but there is this girl...<br />'''Gruntilda:''' What d'you mean, this cannot be, there's no one prettier than me!<br />'''Dingpot:''' Why, it's Tooty, young and small, she's the prettiest girl of all!<br />'''Gruntilda:''' No no no you must be mad, nicer beauty can't be had!<br />'''Dingpot:''' Unfortunately I think you'll find, it's Tooty, she's cute and kind!<br />'''Gruntilda:''' Well... We'll see about that!


Dingpot is not seen again until when the duo reaches the top of [[Gruntilda's Lair]], where he resides. Kazooie comments on how stinky Dingpot is, leading him to explain the hardship that Grunty has put him through. Dingpot decides to help the duo by transporting both to the [[Winkybunion Tower|tower]] by jumping inside of him. He does so because he wanted them to defeat Gruntilda, which would free him from the cruel treatment she gave him.
*'''Kazooie:''' Phew, what a disgusing smell!<br />'''Dingpot:''' Oooh! Visitors for Dingpot... I like visitors!<br />'''Kazooie:''' It's a wonder you get any, sewer breath!<br />'''Dingpot:''' Aaah... What does strange birdy thing mean?<br />'''Banjo:''' Errr, she said that we're looking for Gruntilda, do you know where she is?<br />'''Dingpot:''' I sure do Mr. Bear! Grunty's awful you know, she was sick in me earlier on. If you can get rid of her, I'll be free!<br />'''Gruntilda:''' Don't be sure you silly pot, soon I'll have you nice and hot! See these filthy clothes I've got, when I've won you'll wash the lot!<br />'''Banjo:''' Don't worry Dingpot, we'll sort her out if you can find us a way up there!<br />'''Dingpot:''' No problem, just splosh on in and I'll fire you up to the top!<br />'''Kazooie:''' Jump in there? No way, Dungbox!<br />'''Banjo:''' C'mon Kazooie, you get a chance to peck the witch's butt, let's go!


===''Banjo-Tooie''===
*"Did I tell you she puked in me, it was awful..."
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Dingpot is found in [[Cauldron Keep]]. When Banjo and Kazooie meet Dingpot again, Kazooie again mentions Dingpot's bad smell and remembers when they last met. Dingpot offers the duo a "Dingy bonus" that refills their [[Egg]]s and [[Feather]]s. The bonus is acquired by jumping inside of him, like in the previous game. Kazooie references this, saying she does not want to jump inside of him because she "just got [her] feathers clean from last time."
*"Can you see a toilet in here, huh? So guess where Grunty goes..."
*"All her trash, well that ends up in me as well..."
*"Look at me, I'm full of potato peelings and moldy vegetables..."
*"You wouldn't believe Grunty's dandruff when she leans over me..."
*"I need my teeth cleaning, will you do it?"
*"Sniff... I had a saucepan girlfriend once, but Grunty broke her handle..."
*"And all those awful bloomers she makes me wash... yurrgh!"
*"She cooks up some really spicy dinner in me, it's melting my ladle.."
*"Ready for another trip, Mr. Bear?"
*"Are you ready this time, birdy thing?"
*"Please beat Grunty this time, I don't want to do her washing anymore..."
*"Oooh... Bit tough last time, huh?"
*"Splash in and I'll fire you back up there!"


===''Banjo-Pilot''===
===Banjo-Tooie===
In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', Dingpot appears as the symbol of [[Cauldron Cup]] from [[Grunty GP]]. He retains his design from the previous games, but with the eyes, tooth and wooden ladle gray.
*'''Dingpot:''' Why hello there, Mr. Banjo! I'm Dingpot - remember me?<br />'''Banjo:''' No, not really...<br />'''Dingpot:''' I helped you at the end of ''Banjo-Kazooie''.<br />'''Kazooie:''' Oh yeah, it's old stinkpot!<br />'''Dingpot:''' Sniff, you're so cruel. But hey, why not jump inside for a nice Dingy bonus!<br />'''Kazooie:''' Must we? I've only just got my feathers clean from last time...

==Trivia==
{{quote|That smell doesn't mean I'm starving to worry, it's what happens after a Dingpot curry!|[[Gruntilda]]|[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]}}
Dingpot shares the same voice as the [[Warp Cauldron]]s, although this is to be expected since they are all cauldrons.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Dingpot appears being used by Gruntilda as the seat of her many vehicles. His eyes and eyebrows move when the vehicle is repeatedly hit. Dingpot sometimes opens his mouth, but does not talk. He is later mentioned in two instances: by Gruntilda in [[Showdown Town]] and by [[Klungo]] in Act 5 of [[Nutty Acres]], where he says that Dingpot "usssed to do cooking" when he was still Gruntilda's minion.
