'''Terry''' is a character in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.

Terry is a Terrydactyl father of four [[L'il Terry|babies]], being very protective of them. He once had a [[List of implied characters#Terry's ex-wife|wife]], but she left him and their children.<ref>"I hear Terry's wife left him recently, so his little 'uns are all he has left. He's very protective of them..." —Zombified [[King Jingaling]] in ''Banjo-Tooie''</ref>

Terry can be found atop a mountain in [[Terrydactyland]], inside his [[Terry's Nest|nest]], where he is subtitled "Disgruntled {{wp|Pterodactyl}} Parent." When [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] approach start climbing the place, he accuses them of stealing his four eggs and starts to spit a purple liquid in the duo's direction in an attempt to knock them out of the path. When they finally reach him, Terry once again asks for the two to give his eggs back, but as Banjo is unaware of their whereabouts, the battle starts.

Terry starts the fight by flying up and spitting into Banjo. This is an easily-avoidable attack, as simply keep moving is enough to not be hit. After that, he will move to another location, leaving himself open to Kazooie's [[Egg]] attacks. After taking enough damage, he will spit out several [[Mucoid]]s to attack the bear and bird. They can be quickly beaten by a [[Forward Roll]], however. After that, Terry will go back to spitting at the duo and the attacks repeat themselves until he is defeated.

Once he has been beaten, Banjo and Kazooie manage to convince him that they did not steal his eggs, even offering to bring them back to his nest. This causes Terry to give them a [[Jiggy]] and activates a [[Flight Pad]] to aid in their search.  

Once all four babies have returned to the nest, Terry rewards the duo with another Jiggy.  

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', a portrait of Terry can be seen in [[Banjoland]]. Additionally, in the description of the [[List of Nuts & Bolts pre-made vehicles#Humba's Blueprints|Humba Wide]] blueprint, [[Humba Wumba]] says that the vehicle is "wide, but could break up easier than Terry's eggs in cement mixer."
