'''Targitzan''' is a recurring character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].


==History==
==Physical traits==
Targitzan is a powerful {{wp|Mayan}} deity that resembles a totem pole. He is made up of a four spinning segments, which all consist of targets and dart-spitting faces, and a head on top. Targitzan's head is a sandstone monument with an intricate headdress-like structure at the top and glowing, green eyes perched right about his bucktoothed mouth. Targitzan cannot move around, so he is confined to the center of the arena. Targitzan's head is accompanied by two hands. His lowest segment has two feet, one on each side.

===''Banjo-Tooie''===
Targitzan is the first boss of ''Banjo-Tooie''. He gives [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] his own [[Targitzan's Temple Challenge|challenge]]. He at first tells Banjo and Kazooie to learn the [[Breegull Blaster]] in order to enter the temple's challenge. In the temple, Banjo and Kazooie must first aim for gaining ten [[Targitzan Statue]]s to enter his Slightly Sacred Chamber, where a [[Jiggy]] lies for them to collect. The duo must collect all twenty Targitzan Statues to gain entry to the Really Sacred Chamber.

The duo must collect all twenty Targitzan Statues to gain entry to the Really Sacred Chamber.


When the duo enter the Really Sacred Chamber, they find an unguarded Jiggy conveniently placed on the floor, just like the one in the Slightly Sacred Chamber. They discuss how easy their mission will be, if all of the Jiggies are placed like this, but suddenly the gate closes behind them and Targitzan rises out of the ground, towering very high above them, with a Jiggy on his head.

A golden statue of Targitzan's head appears in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'' as one of the exhibits in [[Banjoland]], near the [[Mumbo's Mountain]] Stonehenge. At first, the statue is not visible until Banjo and Kazooie press a nearby button, causing the statue to rise out of the ground and spit soccer balls from its mouth. Specifically, this statue resembles the "Sacred Priceless Relic Thingy," a priceless artifact built in the likeness of Targitzan that [[Chief Bloatazin]] lost in ''Banjo-Tooie''.

A smaller statue of Targitzan appears at the bottom of the museum's lake. It can be disassembled with either [[Mumbo's Wrench]] or by crashing into it. This Targitzan statue retains its ''Banjo-Tooie'' appearance.
