'''Old King Coal''' | '''Old King Coal''', subtitled "Grubby Boiler Monarch", is a gigantic living pile of coal who inhabits the boiler of [[Chuffy]], whom he is protective over. | ||

In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Old King Coal is found in [[Glitter Gulch Mine]], inside his train Chuffy | In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Old King Coal is found in [[Glitter Gulch Mine]], inside his train Chuffy. After the locomotive is fixed by [[Mumbo Jumbo]], its boiler can be entered by [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. When they first encounter him, they get into a brief exchange, and then the duo are forced to battle the monarch. | ||
During the fight, Old King Coal will lumber around the room in an attempt to hit Banjo and Kazooie. His body has no particular weak points and he can be hit with just about any attack. Old King Coal is invulnerable to [[Fire Egg]]s, but can take twice the damage from [[Ice Egg]]s. | During the fight, Old King Coal will lumber around the room in an attempt to hit Banjo and Kazooie.

When losing body parts, Old King Coal is initially unfazed, stating that he at least has another arm. Upon losing both arms, losing that, claiming he won't need arms to beat them anyway. However, once his top half is blown off, he starts showing some concern, when he starts verbally considering that he, Banjo, and Kazooie sit down and negotiate. Once Old King Coal is down to his last few body parts, the boiler remains heated indefinitely until he has been defeated, so Banjo and Kazooie must quickly defeat Old King Coal before they suffocate and lose all their health. | When losing body parts, Old King Coal is initially unfazed, stating that he at least has another arm.

Upon defeat, Banjo and Kazooie are rewarded with a [[Jiggy]]. Old King Coal also loans Chuffy to them under the condition that they do not hit the train, which he had just polished. Whenever Banjo and Kazooie use Chuffy, Old King Coal speaks on his behalf and even drives the train if he is called from a different [[Train Station]]. | Upon defeat, Banjo and Kazooie are rewarded with a [[Jiggy]].

Old King Coal's voice is the same as [[Chief Bloatazin]]'s. | |||

Evidence of this can be seen when Kazooie says, "But you're supposed to be a merry old soul..." and Coal's sarcastic retort of having his "merry old sole" on top of Banjo and Kazooie's heads. In the [[Xbox Live Arcade]] version, this is further evidenced with the "Merry Old Soul" [[achievement]], which is rewarded for defeating Old King Coal. | ||
