-'''Dingpot''' is a cauldron who is owned and abused by [[Grunty]]. He is very similar to the [[Magic Cauldrons]] of Gruntilda's Lair except for the fact that he seems to have a speech impediment. At the beginning of Banjo-Kazooie, Dingpot informs Grunty of Banjo's sister, [[Tooty]], who is more beautiful than Grunty. This leads Grunty to Kidnap Tooty and start Banjo and Kazooie on their 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. He then allows Banjo to jump inside him so he will be transported to the [[Top of the Tower|roof of Gruntilda's Lair]].

+'''Dingpot''' is a recurring character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].
-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 is simply refilling their [[eggs]] and [[feathers]]. It is unknown how Dingpot came to be at Cauldron Keep as he is not seen leaving with Grunty and her sisters.
+==Characteristics==
+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==
-{{BTCharacters}}
+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''===
+[[File:Gruntilda's Lair B-K Warp Cauldron.png|thumb|250px|Dingpot in ''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.
+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.
+===''Banjo-Tooie''===
+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."
+===''Banjo-Pilot''===
+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.
+===''Nuts & Bolts''===
+{{quote|That smell doesn't mean I'm starving to worry, it's what happens after a Dingpot curry!|[[Gruntilda]]|[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]}}
+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.
