'''Gruntilda's Lair''', also known as simply '''Grunty's Lair''', is a recurring location in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].
'''Gruntilda's Lair''' is the lair of the evil witch [[Gruntilda]] before her first defeat by [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. During ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', most of the game is set in this massive area. Within the lair itself, there are entrances to nine different worlds:


==Features and overview==
:[[Mumbo's Mountain]]
Gruntilda's Lair is a building in [[Spiral Mountain]] and the residence of [[Gruntilda]], with its entrance being shaped like her head.
:[[Treasure Trove Cove]]
:[[Clanker's Cavern]]
:[[Bubblegloop Swamp]]
:[[Freezeezy Peak]]
:[[Gobi's Valley]]
:[[Mad Monster Mansion]]
:[[Rusty Bucket Bay]]
:[[Click Clock Wood]]


===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
Outside of these nine worlds, there are a number of different rooms and sub-areas. The hat on top of the lair is actually a tower, which ultimately leads to the roof where the final battle against Gruntilda takes place in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. Unlike most main antagonists' lairs, Gruntilda's Lair actually serves as a hub world of the first game.
[[File:Gruntilda's Lair B-K interior.png|thumb|220px|The first room of Gruntilda's Lair in ''Banjo-Kazooie'']]
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Gruntilda's Lair is the game's hub world and can be entered by using the bridge in Spiral Mountain. [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] are forced to enter it after the evil witch kidnaps the bear's sister, [[Tooty]], in order to steal her beauty. The only way to reach [[Winkybunion Tower]], the top of the lair and where Gruntilda is fought, is by venturing through the worlds inside to obtain [[Jiggy|Jiggies]] and complete the [[Jigsaw Picture]]s until the entire lair is traversed.

====[[Mumbo Token]]s====
When Banjo and Kazooie visit the lair again in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', the lair has been severely wrecked, as the entrance inside of the cave shaped like Gruntilda's face is blocked by rocks, and the players only use of visiting this area is visiting [[Cheato]].

====Transformation====
During ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', the lair is inaccessible but visible from the outside in Spiral Mountain (probably to make you focus on [[L.O.G.]]'s and Grunty's Challenges).
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', one of Mumbo's Skulls can be found near Mad Monster Mansion's entrance. It can only be accessed as [[Pumpkin Banjo]], and he transforms Banjo into it inside the room.

*Grunty Portrait #1 (Only slightly able to be seen in [[Banjo-Tooie]] only with a hole in it and slightly Zoomed-In.)
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Grunty's Lair appears as the final world, with 50 Jiggies being required to enter it. Inside, [[Mecha-Grunty]] is fought and, when she is defeated, Banjo is forced to play a quiz. The questions are fairly easy, with them all asking "Where is this?," "Where would you see this?," "Can you beat this game?," "What makes this sound?" and "Where would you hear this?," followed by a sprite, sound or mini-game. After Banjo gets 2 answers right, he has to fight [[Klungo]] again and, once he defeats him too, the quiz resumes. After 5 questions have been answered correctly, Mecha-Grunty takes him to Winkybunion Tower where the final battle against her takes place.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Gruntilda's Lair's theme is based on the song "''{{wp|The Teddy Bears' Picnic}}''." The theme has 20 different variations in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', including three on the main version and two variations per level, one for the jigsaw puzzle and one for the level entry area, except for the Mumbo's Mountain jigsaw, which uses the regular theme, Rusty Bucket Bay, which is connected to the level entrance, and possibly Freezeezy Peak, as there is an identical sounding "jigsaw" and "entrance" version. In the case of Gobi's Valley and Clanker's Cavern, the jigsaw theme sounds noticeably different from the level entry area theme.
*In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', though after Grunty is trapped by the rock outside her castle, her laughing can still be heard while walking through in her lair.
* In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge'', a broken statue of [[King Jingaling]]'s head can be found in front of Gruntilda's Lair. This implies Gruntilda built her home in the place of the statue.
* In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', a statue of [[King_Jingaling|King Jingaling's]] head can be seen laying on the ground outside [[Grunty's Castle]]. This could imply that at one point King Jingaling wanted to settle in Spiral Mountain with the [[Jinjo]]s, but was overtaken by Grunty. This could have something to do with the dispute between Grunty and the Jinjos, and why she captures them on Banjo-Kazooie, and imprisons them in Banjo-Tooie.
* In ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' both of the eyes in Gruntilda's Lair can be seen, but in ''Banjo-Tooie'' and ''Banjo-Pilot'' the left eye is missing. In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', the right eye is missing, and the left one can be picked up.  
*The first few bars of the theme music to Grunty's Lair sounds very reminiscent to the famous song "The Teddy Bears' Picnic".
*Although they were separate game levels in the first game, the entrance to the lair was all the player could access in in the game's sequel, [[Banjo-Tooie]] and was part of the Spiral Mountain level.
*While Banjo-Tooie's version of the music track is similar to the first game, it no longer has the sound of a witch laughing in the background. This is due to Grunty's absence of the area in the game.
*When certain Game Shark or PAR cheats are used (which inadvertently do something like violating protected memory or the checksum), the bridge to Grunty's Lair in Spiral Mountain will have a large hole in it, making it impossible to cross without a levitation cheat. There are no still effects otherwise. Amusingly, said bridge is in a similar state of disrepair in Banjo-Tooie.
*The Tower of Gruntilda's Lair can be seen in the background of [[Showdown Town]] in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]].
*The orientation of the eyes varies in each game. In ''Banjo-Kazooie'' both of her green eyes are present. In ''Banjo-Tooie'' her left eye is missing. In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'' her right eye is missing, not the left eye, and it is an object that Kazooie can pick up.
