'''Dingpot''' is a cauldron who is owned and often abused by [[Gruntilda]]. He is very similar to the [[Magic Cauldron]]s 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 (it is heavily implied that the reason he aided them is because he was sick and tired of her cruel treatment of him, including vomiting in him, getting dandruff in him when she leans in on him, presumably using him as a toilet, using him as a makeshift garbage can/incinerator for various waste [including potato peelings], a stove, and forcing him to wash her clothes, one of which she threatened to do had she beat Banjo and Kazooie, plus her murdering his saucepan girlfriend by "break[ing] [the saucepan's] handle").
'''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]]''.

It is unknown how Dingpot came to be at Cauldron Keep as he is not seen leaving with Grunty and her sisters.

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.
