==Biography==
Stomponadon constantly tries to stomp on [[Banjo]] and/or [[Kazooie]] while he is crossing the [[Stomping Plains]] in [[Terrydactyland]]. Once stomped on, Banjo and/or Kazooie get crushed and instantly costs them all but one [[Honeycomb|honeycomb]] energy, and remain flattened for several seconds before returning to normal size. A second hit without recovery becomes fatal.
Stomponadon is a giant dinosaur who lives in the [[Stomping Plains]] of [[Terrydactyland]]. She is the largest character of the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series, and only her foot is ever shown, even in the character parade. Judging from her foot, Stomponadon appears to be based on members of the {{wp|Theropoda}} suborder of dinosaurs, such as a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The footsteps in the Stomping Plains (presumed to be from Stomponadon) are those of a sauropod, such as a Diplodocus.


Stomponadon is subtitled "Triassic Steamroller." She constantly tries to stomp on [[Banjo]] or [[Kazooie]] while they try to cross the plains, and cannot be attacked or defeated. If she stomps on Banjo or Kazooie, they get crushed and instantly lose all of their health except for one [[honeycomb]]. They stay flattened for several seconds before returning to normal size.
Stomponadon is unable to be killed or damaged in any way, and her love of stomping, as her name implies, racks up great damage upon those who wish to cross her territory.


There are large footprints in the ground that protect Banjo and Kazooie from Stomponadon. The duo can safely move between the footprints by either running with [[Talon Trot]] or using [[Wonderwing]] for invincibility. If Banjo is split apart from Kazooie, he cannot get across safely without taking damage; this is because he cannot quickly move between the footprints without Kazooie's help. The [[Snooze Pack]] or either of the three cheats, HONEYBACK, HONEYKING, and SUPERBANJO, are the only way Banjo can move across safely.
Large footprints in the ground will provide cover, however speed, protection or recovery will be necessary to move from print to print without being crushed; the [[Talon Trot]] is usually fast enough, although the [[Wonderwing]] will offer protection if you want to be cautious, but [[Banjo]] alone does not have the necessary speed to make it across without being stepped on, so the [[Snooze Pack]] ability is required to recover energy in between stomps. (Banjo and Kazooie must cross separately in order to grab all the goodies at the other side.) Also the Super Banjo, Honeyback or Honeyking may help Banjo to pass safely.
 
Judging by the shape of Stomponadon's feet, she would appear to be based on members of the [[Wikipedia:Theropoda|Theropoda]] suborder of dinosaurs, such as a Tyrannosaurus Rex or something similar, although the exact species is impossible to identify. Oddly enough, the footprints left in the Stomping Plains are those of a sauropod, such as a Diplodocus.

*Stomponadon is one of the three non-boss characters in ''Banjo-Tooie'' to have a boss-like intro.
*When King Jingaling becomes a zombie and you go and attack him, he'll warn you about Stomponadon and he will say "Be quick on the plains, Stomponadon shows no mercy..."
*While zombified, [[King Jingaling]] says many lines mentioning different bosses and enemies who appear throughout the game. In one of them, he references Stomponadon by saying: "''Be quick on the plains. Stomponadon shows no mercy...''."
*Because Stomponadon never speaks, the character portrait of a [[Bargasaurus]] is instead used to represent the Stomping Plains warp pad.
*If Banjo, Kazooie or [[Mumbo Jumbo]] jump while inside a footprint and touch Stomponandon, they lose only one honeycomb and do not get flattened.
*The HONEYBACK [[Cheat Codes|cheat]] restores health over time, making it possible to cross the Plains as Banjo without knowing the Snooze Pack. HONEYKING, which gives Banjo unlimited health, and SUPERBANJO, which allows him to run as fast as Kazooie, can also be used.
*Stomponadon is based on a dinosaur enemy from ''[[Project Dream]]''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w72kj20YNA0 Rare Revealed: A Rare Look at Dream - YouTube]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/WinkySteve/status/706886005715038208 Steve Mayles on Twitter: "@pdhFletch Shhhh...he's just a leg.

*If the player makes Banjo and/or Kazooie, or [[Mumbo]], [[Jump]] while inside a footprint and touch Stomponandon they will only lose one honeycomb just like if they had touched any other baddy, and they won't be flattened.
*Although [[Gruntilda]] mentions Stomponadon being a female, the ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' guide refers to Stomponadon by male pronouns.<ref>''Banjo-Tooie'' The Official Nintendo Player's Guide, page 73.</ref>
