'''Dingpot''' is a [[Magic Cauldron]] owned by [[Gruntilda]], who is often mistreated by her. He is a recurring character in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series, first appearing in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.

==History==

===Background===

Before the events of the first game, Dingpot was already treated badly by Gruntilda. She often vomited in him, 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 forced him to wash her clothes. At one point, he had a saucepan girlfriend, but her handle was broken by Gruntilda.

In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Dingpot is first seen at the start of the game informing Gruntilda about [[Tooty]], saying she is "the prettiest girl of all." This leads the witch to kidnap Tooty in order to steal her beauty, causing [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] to go rescue her. Dingpot is not seen again until when the duo reaches the top of [[Gruntilda's Lair]], where he resides. There, he decides to help the two by transporting both to the [[Top of the Tower]] through jumping inside of him. He does so because he wanted them to defeat Gruntilda, what would free him from the cruel treatment she gave him.

In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Dingpot is found in [[Cauldron Keep]]. He 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 doesn't want to jump inside of him because she "just got [her] feathers clean from last time."

In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', Dingpot appears as the symbol of [[Cauldron Cup]] from [[Grunty GP]]. He retains his design from the previous games, but with gray eyes, tooth and wooden spoon.

===''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''===

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Dingpot appears being used by Gruntilda as the seat of her many vehicles. While he stays slient for the entire game, his eyes and eyebrows move when the vehicle is repeatedly hit, and will sometimes also open his mouth.
