'''Motzand''' is a character in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.
'''Motzand''' is a ghostly hand who plays the organ in [[The Haunted Church]] in [[Mad Monster Mansion]]. When [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] climb up to the organ's music stand, Motzand will talk to them, always speaking in rhymes similar to [[Gruntilda]]. Unlike all the other ghosts in Mad Monster Mansion, however, Motzand is friendly and cannot damage Banjo and Kazooie.


==Characteristics==
The ghost challenges the duo to repeat the tunes he plays on the organ. Motzand plays two tunes: a short one consisting of only a few notes, and a longer one that is more complicated. If Banjo and Kazooie correctly copy the tunes by hitting the organ keys with the [[Beak Buster]] move, Motzand congratulates their musical ability and offers them a [[Jiggy]] as a reward. The melancholy organ music playing in the church changes to a happier tune, and Motzand floats upward and disappears. The Jiggy can be found on the tallest pipe on the top of the organ.
Motzand is a large, ghostly hand. Unlike other ghosts, Motzand is friendly and, like [[Gruntilda]], only speaks in rhymes.


==Biography==
If Banjo and Kazooie hit a wrong key, they will lose a honeycomb so it is best to look carefully what Motzand is doing rather than hitting random notes.
Motzand is found playing a giant {{wp|pipe organ}} in [[the Haunted Church]] of [[Mad Monster Mansion]]. When Banjo and Kazooie enter here and climb onto the organ's music stand, Motzand challenges them to copy the notes of two tunes that he plays on the pipe organ. Banjo and Kazooie can hit the keys by using [[Beak Buster]] on each of them. At first, Motzand plays a short tune consisting of a few notes. After the duo copy the first tune, Motzand plays a longer tune that includes more notes. Once Banjo and Kazooie have copied both tunes, Motzand congratulates them and rewards them with a [[Jiggy]]. Motzand then floats upward and fades away.
 
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Motzand is mentioned by an [[Infopost]] in the Mad Monster Mansion exhibit's description, where he is described as "an organ-playing spectral hand."
 
==Name origin==
His name is a portmanteau of a famous composer, {{wp|Mozart}}, and "hand."
 
==Nomenclature==
{{Foreign names
|Jap=モーツハンド
|JapR=Mōtsuhando
|JapM=Motzand<!--"Motz Hand" might be more precise, since unlike the English name the portmanteau includes the H, but left this cell the same-->
