He comments that Trunker looks dry but that he, Gobi, needs all his water for himself. However, Gobi can be forced to give up his water if Banjo and Kazooie use the [[Beak Buster]] ability on Gobi's back, causing the camel to then spit out his stash of water onto Trunker. Gobi runs away complaining, but Trunker grows tall and reveals a [[Jiggy]] on his head. Banjo and Kazooie can reach this Jiggy most easily by climbing the nearest palm tree and using the [[Feathery Flap]] to reach Trunker's top.

To reach the Jiggy, Banjo and Kazooie can either climb the nearest palm tree and use [[Feathery Flap]] toward Trunker or by [[flight|fly]] to the Jiggy.

==Name origin==
*Interestingly, the entrance to Gobi's Valley from [[Gruntilda's Lair]] is a tree shaped just like Trunker.
Trunker's name is based on the word "trunk," which is the name of the main stem of a tree.
