'''Napper''' is a green ghost who appears to be a large [[Tee-Hee]] found in [[Mad Monster Mansion]].
'''Napper''' is a character in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.


He was entrusted by [[Gruntilda]] to keep a [[Jiggy]] from [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. He is transparent when he is asleep but becomes closer to opaque when he is awake. He is a light sleeper; just the slightest creak in the floorboards will wake him up. To get the Jiggy, you must enter the Mansion from the chimney on the roof and hop from the fireplace to the chairs to the table without stepping on the floor and walk through him.

*An unused music track called "Giant" appears to have his laugh. Because of this, it's believed that Napper may have once been a giant in the game. This is supported by the fact that the dinning room he is in is extremely huge and he, himself is huge as well.
