- “Grunty's sisters you should not mock, now watch out magic blast this rock!”
- —Mingella Winkybunion, Banjo-Tooie
Mingella is one of Gruntilda's three sisters, along with Blobbelda and Brentilda. Mingella is paired with Blobbelda, and both of them only appear in Banjo-Tooie, as secondary antagonists.
Mingella is tall and thin. She wears a sleek, low cut navy blue dress and pointed witch's hat. She has a pink bob cut, a large, thin nose, and crooked yellow teeth. Both Mingella and Blobbelda speak in anastrophe, just like Yoda from the Star Wars films.
Game appearances
Banjo-Tooie
In Banjo-Tooie, Mingella and Blobbelda first appear in the opening cutscene, where they arrive at Spiral Mountain. Mingella takes out her spellbook and manages to lift the boulder that Grunty has been stuck under, thus freeing her. Shortly after Grunty is freed, she and her sisters go into the Hag 1 and leave off to Cauldron Keep.
At the Tower of Tragedy quiz show, Mingella and Blobbelda are contestants. Grunty calls Mingella her "gorgeous, slim sister". Both of her sisters up losing, and Grunty impulsively drops a 1-ton weight onto both of them, causing them to be killed.
Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge
In Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge's ending, Blobbelda and Mingella are vaguely mentioned by Grunty, who orders Klungo to get her sisters to help her, thus starting the events of Banjo-Tooie.

- Mingella: Annoying your rhyming is, so stop it or we will not tell!
