'''Gruntling'''s are enemies that appear in [[Gruntilda's Lair]] in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. They appear in every world of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]''. As their name suggests, Gruntlings serve as [[Gruntilda]]'s basic minions. Gruntlings are cloaked creatures, and each color of cloak represents how strong they are. Red-cloaked Gruntlings are the weakest, blue-cloaked Gruntlings are medium-strength, and black-cloaked Gruntlings are the hardest to kill. Two extra colors were added in ''Grunty's Revenge'': brown-purple and gray, which require 4 and 5 hit points respectively.
'''Gruntlings''' are a recurring enemy in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series.
