'''Humba Wumba''' is a shaman who made her debut in the [[Banjo-Kazooie series|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]] in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. She introduced herself as [[Mumbo Jumbo|Mumbo Jumbo's]] rival, taking up his previous role in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' as the shaman who transformed [[Banjo]] (and [[Kazooie]] [[Dragon Kazooie|eventually]]), while Mumbo performed a more active role by using his powerful spells around the world so Banjo and Kazooie could complete puzzles.

Humba Wumba is one of the few characters in the series who made an easter egg appearance prior to their in-game debuts. While Humba Wumba herself does not appear in the first game, her name is an (incorrect) answer to one of the questions [[Gruntilda]] asks in [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]].

[[File:DSC06639.jpg|thumb|Picture of a beta version of Humba Wumba from issue #134 of ''Nintendo Power''.]]
In a beta screenshot for ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' in ''Nintendo Power'' Volume 134, Humba Wumba is seen wearing a pink dress. The [[Mumbo Token]] symbol can be seen in the bottom right side of the screenshot, implying that Humba Wumba was at one time going to accept Mumbo Tokens instead of [[Glowbo]]s.
 
==[[Banjo-Tooie]]==
Humba Wumba would reside in her wigwam in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', until the duo needed her magic. Humba's magic required a [[Glowbo]] to work, an object Banjo and Kazooie would find around the world and bring to Humba Wumba. They would then throw it into a pool of water in the middle of the wigwam, and jump in to transform. Once the spell was completed, a [[Glowbo]] was no longer required for further transformations. If Mumbo ever came into the wigwam, she would tell him to get out.

==[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]==
====Beta====
Humba Wumba appears in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. Due to the lack of a need for transformations, her new role is selling pre-made vehicle blueprints and vehicle parts to Banjo. She also frequently appears in the different worlds to give challenges to Banjo. In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts|Nuts &amp; Bolts]]'', she appears to be the sex appeal of the game. She wears yellow tight shorts with a small tied up top to cover herself, and it looks a lot like Mrs. Parker's from the movie Friday. She appears in [[Nutty Acres]], [[LOGBOX 720]], and [[Terrarium of Terror]].

First, she needs Banjo to push the flaming boulders into water so the air is not polluted. Then she warns of [[Mr. Patch]]'s imminent return and asks you to deflate him. In the last act, she needs you to carry a load of coconuts to Mumbo and get them approved for shipping and and then to the docks.

Later, she needs banjo to test a race course where the checkpoints are raised in the air (This was because Klungo messed up the CPU). Lastly, she holds another race against some others workers.

*Her appearance changed drastically between ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts|Nuts &amp; Bolts]]'', more so than any other character. Apparently, Rare decided to make Humba Wumba seem much less like the stereotypical Indian and more like a modern [[wikipedia:Native Americans in the United States|Native American]]. Although this change is more considerate, it opposes the cliché about stereotype Indians in related classical British children's humor.
