Lord Woo Fak Fak is a large, green anglerfish and the boss of Jolly Roger's Lagoon in Banjo-Tooie. He is subtitled as the "Self-Important Anglerfish".
Lord Woo Fak Fak has yellow eyes with red pupils, sharp teeth, and boils all over his face. A Jiggy is inside of his anger bulb, and is used as his light source.
Game appearances
Banjo-Tooie
In Banjo-Tooie, Banjo and Kazooie encounter Lord Woo Fak Fak in Davy Jones' Locker. There, they notice the Jiggy in his angler bulb and approach it. Lord Woo Fak Fak wakes up and shouts at the duo, asking who they are. Banjo lies that they came to deliver his mail, but Lord Woo Fak Fak immediately figures out that they came to steal his Jiggy. Kazooie agrees to "something like that", and the battle starts.
The battle starts with Lord Woo Fak Fak having his eyes closed. To attack, Banjo and Kazooie must shoot at Lord Woo Fak Fak's flashing boil using either a Grenade Egg or a submarine torpedo. Lord Woo Fak Fak attacks by firing electric orbs from his angler. Once the duo hit all six boils, Lord Woo Fak Fak condemns them and opens his eyes, starting the second phase of the battle. Here, Banjo and Kazooie must shoot at Lord Woo Fak Fak's eyes, each requiring three hits. Lord Woo Fak Fak instead starts firing bubble traps, which have a more accurate aim. When both eyes are hit three times, Lord Woo Fak Fak is defeated, causing him to turn upside down and leave behind his Jiggy.
After the battle, if Banjo and Kazooie shoot at Lord Woo Fak Fak, he tells them to stop. In one quote, he claims to be dead (despite talking in that moment) and says that he has no more Jiggies.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, there is a photograph of Lord Woo Fak Fak in Banjoland. Additionally, in Showdown Town, there is an abandoned building near the pier called "The Fak Fak".
Quotes
- Lord Woo Fak Fak: What?! Who dares intrude on Lord Woo Fak Fak while he sleeps in his appallingly cramped locker?
- Banjo: Err... we've just brought some mail for you, Lord Fak.
- Lord Woo Fak Fak: Don't lie to me! You were going to steal my Jiggy and drain my home, leaving me to flap pathetically around on the bottom until I shrivelled up and died, weren't you?
- Kazooie: Something like that.
- Lord Woo Fak Fak: Then a watery grave awaits you!
During the battle:
- Aieeee! Me precious boils!
- Woo! Have you no sympathy hitting a poor blind fish? Time I opened my eyes to see what I'm doing!
- Urrrrrr! Please! Not my eyes...
- Curses! Things seem to have gone belly up! One hundred years of oceanic tyranny brought to an undignified end...
If Banjo and Kazooie decide to continue shooting him:
- Oi! Stop that, you scumbags! I know your father.
- Cease fire! I used to be a hero, ya know!
- Stop shooting me! I am dead and have no more Jiggies!
- Oh yes, this happens all the time. In fact, I quite like being upside down...
If Banjo and Kazooie lose the battle, and then come back:
- Back again? Don't you know who I am? I'm Lord Woo Fak Fak, and I'm going to have to destroy you!
