Nipper is a giant {{wp|hermit crab}} and the boss of [[Treasure Trove Cove]]. When [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] first approach Nipper, he claims to own the beach and tells them that they cannot find anything without his help. Kazooie makes a smug remark, which angers Nipper and starts a battle between him and the duo.
He claims ownership of a small beach of land and offers [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] his assistance in finding treasures, but quickly becomes enraged at the rude little bird's smart attitude and engages the duo in a fight.


Fortunately, his arms have a limited reach, so his violent snapping can be avoided simply by standing a few steps back. Nipper will take a short break after four snaps, leaving his face vulnerable to a quick attack by the [[Rat-a-tat Rap]], while increasing the speed of his snaps afterward. After his face has been hit three times, Nipper will retreat inside his shell and mysteriously disappear. The fastest way of dealing with Nipper consists of entering the [[Talon Trot]] while he's swinging his claws. When the oversized Hermit crab takes a break, quickly run at him and hit him with the Rat-a-tat Rap (as it's still usable when jumping in Talon Trot). Run back (normally, entering the Talon Trot takes too long to get out of Nipper's range) and repeat the steps until victory. His shell can then be entered to find [[Musical Notes]], [[Blue Eggs]], two [[Snippet]]s, and a [[Jiggy]].
In the battle, Nipper tries to attack Banjo and Kazooie by pinching them. Nipper's arms have a limited reach, and the duo can avoid taking damage by standing a few steps back. Nipper briefly pauses after snapping four times, leaving his face open to a [[Rat-a-tat Rap]] attack. Nipper snaps his claws more quickly after each hit. After Nipper takes three hits, he is defeated, and he shrinks back into his shell, which the duo can enter.


Nipper can be found again once Banjo and Kazooie exit the world and revisits his beach; however, his shell will not have the [[Jiggy]] inside it.
Nipper's shell is mostly hollow except for six [[Musical Note]]s, six [[Blue Egg]]s, and a [[Jiggy]]. Two [[Snippet]]s are found inside of the shell. The ceiling is covered with holes, which allows for sunlight to shine into the shell. Oddly, the holes are not visible from the shell's exterior.
 
Nipper can be fought again if Banjo and Kazooie leave and re-enter Treasure Trove Cove.

Nipper is a character in Banjo-Kazooie.

Biography[edit]

Nipper is a giant hermit crab and the boss of Treasure Trove Cove. When Banjo and Kazooie first approach Nipper, he claims to own the beach and tells them that they cannot find anything without his help. Kazooie makes a smug remark, which angers Nipper and starts a battle between him and the duo.

In the battle, Nipper tries to attack Banjo and Kazooie by pinching them. Nipper's arms have a limited reach, and the duo can avoid taking damage by standing a few steps back. Nipper briefly pauses after snapping four times, leaving his face open to a Rat-a-tat Rap attack. Nipper snaps his claws more quickly after each hit. After Nipper takes three hits, he is defeated, and he shrinks back into his shell, which the duo can enter.

Nipper's shell is mostly hollow except for six Musical Notes, six Blue Eggs, and a Jiggy. Two Snippets are found inside of the shell. The ceiling is covered with holes, which allows for sunlight to shine into the shell. Oddly, the holes are not visible from the shell's exterior.

Nipper can be fought again if Banjo and Kazooie leave and re-enter Treasure Trove Cove.
