The Hag 1 is the drill-equipped tank used by the [[Winkybunion]] sisters throughout [[Banjo-Tooie]]. It's first used by [[Mingella]] and [[Blobellda]] to rescue [[Gruntilda]], and as it burrows its way through the Isle O' Hags, it causes massive destruction, scattering and mowing down the poor [[Jinjos]]. Finally, right at the end of the game, Gruntilda pilots it in her final battle with [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. | |||
