Klungo is a green, goblin-like character and one of the main characters in the Banjo-Kazooie series. He formerly served as the loyal assistant of Gruntilda and was a scientist who created various inventions to help with her evil schemes. Klungo first appears in Banjo-Kazooie and has since appeared in every game of series. Klungo is usually seen wearing a white lab coat. He speaks with incorrect grammar and, like Ssslumber, hisses every time he pronounces the letter "s".

Game appearances

Banjo-Kazooie

In Banjo-Kazooie, Klungo has a minor role and only appears in a few cutscenes, helping Gruntilda with her Beauty Transfer Machine. In a cutscene right before Banjo and Kazooie start their adventure, he tells Gruntilda that the machine has to power up but assures her that it will soon be ready. Klungo also appears in the Game Over sequence, in which he has an Igor-like role, as Gruntilda instructs him to pull the switch that transfers Tooty's beauty to her.

In the ending, after the final battle, Klungo is seen trying to push off a large boulder that fell on Gruntilda.

Banjo-Tooie

Klungo, beaten and battered by Gruntilda.

In Banjo-Tooie, his role was somewhat expanded. He is a boss whom Banjo and Kazooie must fight three times throughout the whole game. He has three different potions, one per battle, each potion having 3 phases to it. The battle progresses phase when Klungo is hit. These are random so they are in no particular order. The red potion grants the ability for Klungo to grow. As well as this, Klungo tries to jump on Banjo and Kazooie. The green potion grants Klungo invisibility, however; the potion isn't perfect and will occasionally show the location of Klungo by stopping the invisibility momentarily. The blue potion clones Klungo. The real Klungo is the one who moves last and his nose is a lighter green than the clones. The first phase of this potion clones Klungo once (2 Klungos), the second clones twice (3 Klungos), and the final clones three times (4 Klungos).

When he loses, he feels so ashamed, he actually insists on getting beat up by Grunty. In every battle he is encountered, he is more beaten up and bruised.

In the end, he realizes that the more he gets beaten up, the more ugly he becomes, and he states that Mrs. Klungo won't find him handsome anymore. He abandons Grunty and joins Banjo's group of friends. As he leaves Cauldron Keep, he mutters about going off to make "ssstupid games". He then goes to a party at Bottles' House and eats all the food before Banjo and Kazooie arrive from battling Grunty and falls asleep.

In his 3 battles, the subtitled name changes to fit his mood and the change in dynamics between Klungo and Gruntilda. The first battle in the first Digger Tunnel he's titled as "Minion with a mission", which references Gruntilda giving Klungo orders in the introductory cutscene to stay in Spiral Mountain with the implied mission to prevent Banjo and Kazooie from progressing past Spiral Mountain. The second battle in the second Digger Tunnel he's titled as "Revenge-Seeking Minion", which references the failed attempt in the first Digger Tunnel, resulting in Gruntilda requesting that Klungo tries again. Klungo is titled "Career-Questioning Minion" in the final encounter with Klungo for Banjo-Tooie, which takes place in the Gatehouse. The title for Klungo references the start of Klungo's realisation that the beatings that Gruntilda is giving is not helping Klungo, and Klungo is (as a result), contemplating whether he should continue his service towards Gruntilda.

Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge

Klungo's more cartoony appearance in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge

In Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, a game chronologically taking place in between Kazooie and Tooie, Klungo creates the Mecha-Grunty suit, which allows Grunty to go back in time. Klungo also appears as a boss four times. Each battle has Klungo upgraded. The first battle he has a potion that gives him a force field. In the second battle, he still has the force field, but he also has a potion which can make him invisible. As in Banjo-Tooie, the invisibility potion fails. In the third battle, he still has the force field, he can turn invisible, and now he sends red, one-eyed Germuloids to attack Banjo and Kazooie. In the fourth battle, he still has the force field and he can turn invisible, and now he sends red or green Spookos to attack the duo.

Banjo-Pilot

In Banjo-Pilot, Klungo is a unlockable racer and the penultimate boss of Grunty GP. At the end of the Skull Cup, he is fought in a dogfight match.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

Klungo returns in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, where he now owns an arcade at the pier. His injuries from Grunty are still present: he bears two black eyes and large amounts of stitches in his face. Klungo has left Grunty to pursue a career in video games. He actually created a game, Hero Klungo Sssavesss Teh World. His game involves jumping over holes, enemies, and hills and fighting Gruntilda in the end.

In Showdown Town, Klungo owns his own arcade here. He wears his normal white lab coat. He can be found at the end of the dock in the seaside district. He is very proud of his game even though it is rather crude.

In Nutty Acres, Klungo is a farmhand here and wears a red plaid coat. He hosts challenges in Acts 1, 4, 5 and 6. His first challenge is simple, just drive to Mumbo. Later he asks you to harvest coconuts from the grove, then he wants you to cook an egg for him. In the last act, he challenges you to a race against the farm staff in a dried river bed. Klungo likes his job here but is not very good at it and constantly needs Banjo's help to avoid getting fired.

In LOGBOX 720, Klungo appears here as a worker in the console. He again is not a great worker and needs help to avoid getting fired. He wears another white lab coat in this world. He hosts challenges in Acts 1 and 4. He first needs Banjo to reconnect the console internet connection and later needs him to wet the Glubber sponge. He also appears in other races and challenges.

In Banjoland, Klungo reappears as an average-Grunt again in this world. Klungo wears a green coat in this world. He hosts challenges in Acts 1, 3, 5 and 6. He hosts races in this world: one around the whole museum, another in the pool, a third in a Gobi-shaped vehicle and lastly, one around the frozen pool in a Honeycomb car.

In Terrarium of Terror, Klungo acts as an entrepreneur selling Floatberries in this world. He wears a shiny, purple coat. He appears in Acts 1, 2, 3 and 4. He first needs Banjo and Kazooie to save the last Floatberry. Later, the duo must water them and then must put them into the juicer. In the last act he appears in, he makes friends with Uranus Mud Monster and wants Banjo and Kazooie to push them out of the water. Klungo seems to be a good businessman in this world as other characters mention his Floatberry Juice and ads for it appear outside of the terrarium.
