After [[L.O.G.]] escorts [[Grunty]], [[Banjo]], and [[Kazooie]] to [[Showdown Town]], he gives Kazooie a [[Magic Wrench]] and Grunty asks what she gets. L.O.G. provides the answer with the real deal: an adorable purple cat (with extremely small legs) to replace her old, powerful henchman.
In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', Piddles is created by the Lord of Games after Gruntilda asks what she would get to aid her in the game (as [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] had already recieved the [[Magic Wrench]]). After seeing her 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 [[Gruntbot]]s following her.


Grunty and her new minion immediately get off to a bad start. Disgusted by her cuteness, Grunty boots the cat away from her, laughing. However, the cat, who's name is revealed by L.O.G. to be Piddles, proves that she is not one to take abuse, and attacks Gruntilda. Despite this incident, the two of them eventually learn to deal with each other and fight alongside each other.
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 used the "[[Stop 'n' Swop|Game and Swop]]" to win.


Piddles is first encountered in [[Nutty Acres]], where she can be raced. [[Trophy Thomas]] was meant to race her, however his car was being "repaired", apparently. After beating her Trophy Tomas accuses the Banjo and Kazooie for cheating via [[Stop 'n' Swop]] and she is 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 as Gruntilda was yet again overconfident enough to give the bear and bird a chance. Piddles aids Grunty there by using an Egg Turret. She also aids Grunty in [[Banjoland]] by shooting them with a Grenade Turret. She is also seen in the background of the minigame Hero Klungo Sssavesss Teh Universsse (albeit much more ferocious-looking), being directed by Gruntilda to attack Klungo.
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."


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 occurred where Piddles 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 [[Banjoland]], Piddles aids Gruntilda by using the Grenade Turret to shoot the duo.


Piddles probably came from the idea of Halloween that witches have pet cats that ride with them on their broomsticks.
In the final battle at [[Spiral Mountain]], Piddles assists Gruntilda by using an Egg Turret while atop the [[Broomstick]]. 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]], Piddles appears in the background, but much bigger and ferocious-looking, being apparently sent by Gruntilda to attack Klungo.

—Piddles, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

Piddles is the sidekick of Gruntilda and the secondary antagonist of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. She was created by the Lord of Games after hearing that Klungo went off to make "ssstupid gamesss".

History

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

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

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Piddles is created by the Lord of Games after Gruntilda asks what she would get to aid her in the game (as Banjo and Kazooie had already recieved the Magic Wrench). After seeing her 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 used the "Game and Swop" 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 an Egg Turret while atop the Broomstick. 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, Piddles appears in the background, but much bigger and ferocious-looking, being apparently sent by Gruntilda to attack Klungo.
