'''Terry''' is a [[wikipedia:Pterodactyl|pterodactyl]] and the boss of [[Terrydactyland]]. Despite this gargantuan flying reptile's frightening appearance, he is actually a caring father, although he's not afraid to show his wrathful side when he believes someone intends to harm his [[Terry's babies|babies]].

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


As [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] climb the mountain, Terry spots them from his nest at the top and accuses the bear of stealing his precious eggs, spitting down at Banjo to prevent him from climbing up. Once Banjo safely reaches the top, Terry demands his eggs back, to which Banjo and Kazooie claim they know nothing about. Terry, however, assumes that they are playing dumb and a boss battle ensues.
==Biography==
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>


==The Battle==
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 flies high above the nest and spits at Banjo and Kazooie from a distance. The duo can easily not be hit by Terry if they spin in a circle, fast enough. This is because Terry spits where they're going to be, rather than where they currently are, thus making him miss the heroic duo completely. After a few seconds, Terry will move to get a better vantage point, leaving himself open to attack with [[Eggs]]. After he takes some damage, Terry will spit several [[Mucoid]]s, which are globs of mucus with a life of their own, onto the battlefield that will proceed to attack the bear and bird. The duo should [[Forward Roll]] into the Mucoids to get rid of them. Terry then proceeds to start spitting again. This process keeps repeating itself until all of Terry's hitpoints have been depleted.


==After the Battle==
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.
Only after Terry has been knocked down do Banjo and Kazooie convince the grieving parent that they had nothing to do with his missing eggs and offer to help Terry get them back. Thankful, Terry gives the bear and bird a [[Jiggy]] in advance and activates a [[Flight Pad]] for them to use.  


There are four eggs in all: one on a plateau in the lake; one in the [[Oogle Boogle Tribe|Oogle Boogle's]] cave; one inside a crevice in the [[Unga Bunga Tribe|Unga Bunga's]] cave; and one in a high-up alcove inside the mountain interior where [[Chompasaurus]] lives. The eggs cannot be carried, but Kazooie can use her [[Hatch]] ability she learns inside the Unga Bunga cave so that the newly born babies can hatch and fly back to their father on their own. One of the babies, however, is so heavy upon hatching that is must be carried to the top by Banjo using the [[Taxi Pack]]. The heaviest pterosaur baby is always the last one to hatch.
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 safely, Terry will give the pair another Jiggy.
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."

Terry, Banjo-Tooie

Terry is a character in Banjo-Tooie.

Biography[edit]

Terry is a Terrydactyl father of four babies, being very protective of them. He once had a wife, but she left him and their children.[2]

Terry can be found atop a mountain in Terrydactyland, inside his nest, where he is subtitled "Disgruntled 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 Mucoids 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 Humba Wide blueprint, Humba Wumba says that the vehicle is "wide, but could break up easier than Terry's eggs in cement mixer."
