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


==Biography==
'''Gobi the Camel''' is a species of camel found first in his own world, [[Gobi's Valley]]. In Gobi's Valley, near the matching floor mini-game, there is a flying carpet that goes to an island where [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] free Gobi and are rewarded with a [[Jiggy]]. Gobi runs off to [[Trunker]]'s shade, where the pair return to [[Beak Buster|Beak Bust]] him to water the thirsty tree. Annoyed, Gobi moves into the alcove near [[Jinxy]] in front of the door leading to the [[Blue Mystery Egg]], where the duo again flatten his humps for an [[Extra Honeycomb Piece]]. Gobi is very upset and leaves the world.
Gobi is a camel who dislikes [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]], especially for using his painstakingly collected water. Gobi's name might have been derived from the {{wp|Gobi Desert}}, a real world location in Mongolia and China.


===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
He reappears in [[Click Clock Wood]] in Summer and Autumn, where Banjo and Kazooie again take some of his water to water the huge plant near the [[Bigbutt]]. After this, Gobi is fed up with the duo and leaves for "[[Hailfire Peaks|the lava world]]".
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Gobi is the titular character of the world [[Gobi's Valley]]. When Banjo and Kazooie first meet Gobi, they find him tied to a boulder, complaining about the heat. When Banjo and Kazooie free Gobi, they receive a [[Jiggy]], and Gobi runs off to rest next to [[Trunker]]. Gobi refuses to share his water with Trunker, so Banjo and Kazooie must use [[Beak Buster]] on Gobi's back, forcing him to spit out water to Trunker. After this, Gobi moves into the alcove near [[Jinxy]]. When Banjo and Kazooie use Beak Buster on Gobi's back again, he coughs up an [[Empty Honeycomb Piece]]. Gobi angrily decides to leave the world.


Gobi is later found in [[Click Clock Wood]], where he conveniently turns up under a large flower that needs watering. Banjo and Kazooie use Beak Buster on Gobi again to water the flower. Gobi announces that he is leaving to the "lava world," where Banjo cannot find him. This is a reference to a lava world that was planned during development for ''Banjo-Kazooie'', but was later scrapped and incorporated into ''Banjo-Tooie'' as [[Hailfire Peaks]].
Next seen in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Gobi is found imprisoned in [[Witchyworld]]'s Cave of Horrors in a cage marked "Ancient Bearded Camel". Once freed again, he moves on to Hailfire Peaks at the Fire Side's [[Train Station]]. His last store of water is once again used by Banjo and Kazooie to cool down [[Chuffy]]'s boiler, allowing it to travel to the Ice Side of the world. He is seen with a beard in ''Banjo-Tooie''; a discussion before his freedom as Banjo alone reveals that he was given the beard as an attempt to boost his popularity... but to no avail.


An oddity is that is still possible for Gobi to appear in Gobi's Valley or Click Clock Wood, even if he has already left for the next area.
In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', Gobi makes a cameo appearance in the Gobi's Valley track. Gobi was confirmed for ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'' but does not physically appear in it; however, he does appear as two of [[Lord of Games|L.O.G.'s]] pre-made vehicles: the [[LOG Gobi]] and the [[LOG Aqua Gobi]], two vehicles that closely resemble camels.


===''Banjo-Tooie''===
==Quotes==
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Banjo and Kazooie first find Gobi locked in a cage in [[Witchyworld]]'s [[Cave of Horrors]] exhibit. Gobi has grown a long beard, and thus his cage names him the "Ancient Bearded Camel." If Banjo visits Gobi alone, Gobi reveals that the beard was put on him as an attempt to boost his popularity, but to no avail. To release Gobi, Banjo and Kazooie must shoot a [[Grenade Egg]] at Gobi's cage. After this, Gobi runs off to the "lava world," Hailfire Peaks.
 
(Banjo-Kazooie, [[Gobi's Valley]] before freeing him):
 
*Pant...it's too hot for Gobi, I need some shade. Please help me!
 
(After freeing him):
 
*Here's your reward Bear, Gobi's off to cool down.
 
(Underneath [[Trunker]]
 
*This tree looks a bit thirsty, but I need all my water for myself...
 
(After stealing his water the first time):
 
*Oi! My precious water.
 
(After stealing his water the second time):
 
*Bah! That's it! I'm leaving this desert to find some peace and quiet.
 
([[Click Clock Wood]] Summertime, underneath the flower):
 
*Oh no, It's you two again, Gobi thought it was safe here.
 
(After stealing his water for the flower):
 
*Will you stop doing that! It took me ages to find more water.
 
(Click Clock Wood Autumn, after stealing his water again for the flower):
 
*Right, that's it! I'm off to the [[Hailfire Peaks|Lava World]]. You'll never find me there!
 
(Banjo-Tooie, the Cave of Horrors in [[Witchyworld]]):
 
*'''Gobi:'''  Hey, guys! Am I glad to see some familiar faces!
*'''Banjo:''' Gobi! What are you doing in there?
*'''Gobi:''' Well, as you may remember, I was on my way to the Lava World but I got captured. But now that you're here, I'll soon be out!
*'''Kazooie:''' We'll see about that, Beardy. Do you have any money?
*'''Gobi:''' No.
*'''Kazooie:''' Then get used to that cage, Hump Boy!
*'''Gobi:''' Sniff... That's no way to treat an old friend...
 
(After freeing him from his cage):
 
* Great! On my way to the Lava World again at last!
 
([[Hailfire Peaks]], Lava Side, when Banjo and Kazooie approach him in the train station):


When the player enters Hailfire Peaks for the first time, a cutscene is shown of Gobi running along a ledge leading into the Lava Side's [[Train Station]]. If Gobi has not yet been freed from Witchyworld, this cutscene is not shown. After running into the Train Station, Gobi stops to rest on a ledge just above the train tracks. Banjo and Kazooie must first call Chuffy to the station, and then pound on Gobi's back once more, causing his water to be released into Chuffy's boiler and thus allowing Chuffy to safely travel to the Ice Side of Hailfire Peaks. After this, Gobi remains stationary on the ledge for the remainder of the game.
*Please... Not my precious water again...


===''Banjo-Pilot''===
(When they steal his water for the train):
In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', Gobi appears as an obstacle in the Gobi's Valley track.


===''Nuts & Bolts''===
*Aw, no... It took me since the last game to save that...
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', the [[List of Nuts & Bolts pre-made vehicles|L.O.G. Gobi]] and the [[List of Nuts & Bolts pre-made vehicles|L.O.G. Aqua Gobi]] are both pre-made vehicles referencing Gobi that are featured in Act 5 of [[Banjoland]], in the challenges "Checkpoint Charlies" and "Land, Sea, Not Air," respectively.


==Quotes==
==Trivia==
{{Main|List of Gobi quotes}}
*He seems to dislike [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]], due to them using the [[Beak Buster]] on him.
* Gobi seens to like both heat and coolness, because in Banjo-Kazooie he wants to stay in the shadow, but in Banjo-Tooie he want to stay in the lava world.
* His name could have been based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gobi_Desert a desert named "Gobi"] located in Mongolia and China.
* His voice sounds like an Imp's death sound in Doom.
