BiographyEdit
Banjo-KazooieEdit
In Banjo-Kazooie, Napper is a large, green ghost who inhabits the Dining Room of Mad Monster Mansion. He was entrusted by Gruntilda to safeguard a Jiggy from Banjo and Kazooie. He is transparent while he is asleep, but becomes more opaque while he is awake. Napper is a light sleeper as even a slight floorboard creak awakens him. Because of this, Banjo and Kazooie must take an alternate route into the mansion by entering from a chimney on its roof. After this, they must hop from the fireplace to the chairs positioned in front of Napper and onto the table, where they must walk through Napper to obtain its Jiggy. By doing so, Napper wakes up and flees in fear of Gruntilda's wrath.
Nuts & BoltsEdit
In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Napper is mentioned by an Infopost in the Mad Monster Mansion exhibit's description, where he is described as a "dozing ghost."
