'''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.
'''Dingpot''' is a recurring character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].
 
==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==
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.


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.

At one point, he had a saucepan girlfriend, but her handle was broken by Gruntilda.

In Banjo-Kazooie, Dingpot appears in the opening cutscene, where Gruntilda asks him who is the "nicest looking wench."

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.

Kazooie references this, saying she does not want to jump inside of him because she "just got [her] feathers clean from last time."
