A '''Ripper''' is a type of enemy in the [[Banjo-Kazooie series|''Banjo-Kazooie'' franchise]]. They are gray mobile tombstones with bulbous eyes. Their names are most likely derived from the phrase "R.I.P." (a short abbreviation for "rest in peace").

===''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''===
Rippers are tombstone enemies very similar in appearance to regular tombstones, which they often disguise themselves as. Rippers appear in varying sizes and have a pair of bulbous eyes, clawed hands, and stone-shaped feet. Their name is derived from the acronym "R.I.P.," which is short for "rest in peace."

Rippers are mildly common enemies native to [[Mad Monster Mansion]], but a few can also be found at the entrance to said world at [[Gruntilda's Lair]]. Rippers camouflage themselves, posing among the other normal gravestones while sitting perfectly still, patiently waiting for [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] to pass by before popping up to attack them in ambush.


Being made of stone, Rippers are very strong and take multiple hits to defeat. While Rippers are quite strong if taken head-on, if attacked from the back with the [[Rat-a-tat Rap]] ability, they can be defeated much easier and quicker, being smashed in just a single hit.

[[File:Ripper B-K screenshot.png|left|thumb|200px|A Ripper sneaking behind Banjo]]
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Rippers are found in [[Mad Monster Mansion]] and, after visiting the world at least once, its hub area in [[Gruntilda's Lair]]. Rippers disguise themselves as regular tombstones, so when [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] approach a Ripper, it pops out, revealing itself, and starts to chase the duo. A way to distinguish Rippers from ordinary tombstones is that the Rippers fade away in the draw distance unlike the regular tombstones, which are part of the level geometry. The Rippers and ordinary tombstones in Gruntilda's Lair are much larger than those of Mad Monster Mansion.


The Rippers in Mad Monster Mansion, are somewhat smaller than the ones outside the world's entrance.
Because they are made of stone, Rippers are durable, so it takes several hits for Banjo and Kazooie to defeat them. Kazooie can instantly defeat a Ripper if she uses a [[Rat-a-tat Rap]] move on it from behind.

===''Nuts & Bolts''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', simplistic, rudimentary replicas of Rippers appear as decorations in [[Banjoland]]. Several Rippers are on display in a makeshift graveyard in front of the Mad Monster Mansion exhibit. They are bolted down to the ground, although [[Kazooie]] can control their arms by using [[Mumbo's Wrench]] to spin them around.
