Piddles is later found in [[Nutty Acres]], where she is raced against. She was originally supossed to race [[Trophy Thomas]], but he was unable to because his "top racing tractor" was being repaired. When Piddles is defeated, Trophy Thomas thinks the duo [[Stop 'n' Swop|stopped the game and swopped something]] to win.


Mistress and minion start off on the wrong foot right away. When the heroes and villain enter [[Showdown Town]], the [[Lord of Games]] gives [[Kazooie]] the magic wrench, and Grunty asks what she gets. LOG provides the answer with the real deal: an adorable purple cat. Disgusted, Grunty boots the cat away from her, laughing. However, the cat, named Piddles, is not to be trifled with, and attacks a startled Gruntilda. Despite this incident, Piddles is apparently loyal to Gruntilda.
She appears again in the Act 3 of [[LOGBOX 720]], being sent by Gruntilda to polute the glubber pool of the console with cat litter, what would cause [[Bottles]] to have to shut it down. For Banjo and Kazooie to stop Gruntilda's plan, they need to win a race against her. After the race is won, Gruntilda will say that "this cat's worse than Klungo, if [she's] being frank."


In [[Nutty Acres]] she can be raced. [[Trophy Thomas]] was meant to race her, however his car was being repaired... apparently. After beating her she's used by Grunty again in the LOGbox 720 in a scheme to shut down the system for good. Fortunately, [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] soon put a stop to this plan before it even begins. She is also seen in the&nbsp;background of the minigame Hero Klungo&nbsp;Sssavesss Teh Universsse, being directed by Gruntilda to attack Klungo. &nbsp;

Piddles later assists Grunty in the final battle at [[Spiral Mountain]] by shooting Banjo with an Egg Turret atop Gruntilda's Broomstick. After having been defeated by the bear and bird, her head had fallen out of its jar and Piddles helpfully knocked it back in. Neither witch nor cat could stand up to the victorious bear and bird though, and both were sent to L.O.G's video game factory, in whence a scene occured where Piddle's was actually talking, bossing Grunty around. This is probably as she no longer fulfilled the duty of being Grunty's sidekick by this point, but it seems likely she'll reappear in future games.
In the final battle at [[Spiral Mountain]], Piddles assists Gruntilda by using various weapons while atop her vehicles. After being defeated, Gruntilda's skull falls off the container that holds it, but Piddles knocks it back in. Due to their loss, the witch and the cat are both sent to [[L.O.G.'s Videogame Factory]] to work there forever.


Piddles probably came from the idea of Halloween that witches have pet cats that ride with them on their broomsticks.
In the game ''[[Hero Klungo Sssavesss Teh Universsse]]'', two copies of Piddles appear in the background (one being obscured by the in-game screen), but much bigger and ferocious-looking, being apparently sent by Gruntilda to attack Klungo.

BiographyEdit

 
Piddles driving her car in Act 4 of Nutty Acres, "Cheatin' Witch."

Piddles is the sidekick of Gruntilda, created by the Lord of Games as a replacement for Klungo, who had gone off to make "ssstupid gamesss." After seeing Piddles for the first time, Gruntilda immediately kicks her far away. Piddles then, angry, jumps and bites the wire behind her connecting the container holding Gruntilda's skull to her body, causing her to run away with the Gruntbots following her.

Piddles is later found in Nutty Acres, where she is raced against. She was originally supossed to race Trophy Thomas, but he was unable to because his "top racing tractor" was being repaired. When Piddles is defeated, Trophy Thomas thinks the duo stopped the game and swopped something to win.

She appears again in the Act 3 of LOGBOX 720, being sent by Gruntilda to polute the glubber pool of the console with cat litter, what would cause Bottles to have to shut it down. For Banjo and Kazooie to stop Gruntilda's plan, they need to win a race against her. After the race is won, Gruntilda will say that "this cat's worse than Klungo, if [she's] being frank."

In Banjoland, Piddles aids Gruntilda by using the Grenade Turret to shoot the duo.

In the final battle at Spiral Mountain, Piddles assists Gruntilda by using various weapons while atop her vehicles. After being defeated, Gruntilda's skull falls off the container that holds it, but Piddles knocks it back in. Due to their loss, the witch and the cat are both sent to L.O.G.'s Videogame Factory to work there forever.

In the game Hero Klungo Sssavesss Teh Universsse, two copies of Piddles appear in the background (one being obscured by the in-game screen), but much bigger and ferocious-looking, being apparently sent by Gruntilda to attack Klungo.
