She resembles the {{wp|Wicked Witch of the West}} from ''{{wp|The Wonderful Wizard of Oz}}''. Gruntilda's use of [[Dingpot|a cauldron]] and her two wicked sisters, [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]], resemble the wicked witches from {{wp|William Shakespeare}}'s ''{{wp|Macbeth}}''. Aside from witches, Grunty shares traits with the {{wp|Evil Queen}} in ''{{wp|Snow White and the Seven Dwarves}}'', namely her main motive to steal Tooty's beauty. Grunty's first line parodies Evil Queen famous line, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?". In the ending for ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Grunty has the same fate as the Evil Queen in the Disney adaptation of ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarves'', as both of them fall to their doom and get crushed by a boulder. | ||
Like the rest of the characters in the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' series, Gruntilda has a very comical personality and often breaks the fourth wall. Gruntilda is intelligent and has a sarcastic wit but is overconfident, believing that Banjo and Kazooie cannot overcome her challenges. Grunty mostly speaks in rhymes, except for most of ''Banjo-Tooie'' (because her sisters get annoyed at her for rhyming) and in ''Banjo-Pilot''. | Like the rest of the characters in the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' series, Gruntilda has a very comical personality and often breaks the fourth wall.
