'''Dippy''' is a long-necked dinosaur who appears in [[Terrydactyland]] of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. He stays inside his cave (which is impossible to enter) to avoid the sun burning his skin. He is very thirsty and the pool outside his cave from where he drinks is completely dried up.

*Dippy is the only character to have a boss-style description without having the boss music play when he is introduced as "Dippy: Seeker of Beverages". Most likely because he doesn't appear threatening like the [[Chompasaurus|other]] [[Stomponadon|two]] who aren't bosses that have boss-like intros.
