'''Weldar''' is a welding torch that suffers from partial-blindness found in the depths of [[Grunty Industries]] in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. He is regarded by many to be one of the most difficult bosses in the game, and simply reaching him is a long, arduous process. Weldar was left mortally wounded after battling the duo in ''Banjo-Tooie'', but his immobile, dismembered head still lives in Grunty Industries and parts of his ruined body live on, being turned into vehicle part in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.

'''Weldar''', subtitled "Visually-Impaired Welding Torch," is a welding torch who works in [[Grunty Industries]]. His name comes from the word "weld."


==Physical Characteristics==
==History==
Weldar is a large personified welding torch (although Kazooie initially mistakes him for a toilet cleaner). He has a large, metallic, cylindrical base with 6 square plates on it that seem to keep his body from overheating, as well as a large yellow apparatus surrounding him and two gauges on his base. His hose and nozzle have snake-like qualities, including sharp teeth. His neck-like hose appears to be bendable and strong enough to drag himself across the floor just before the boss battle begins. He also has vision problems, a trait shared with most species of snakes. Weldar's eyes are visibly damaged, with one of his pupils being slightly smaller than his other. Whenever Weldar opens his mouth, he expels a sleek, bright blue flame.
 
At first, it would seem that Weldar also has problems moving around, seeing as how he had to drag himself out using only his head and neck before the fight ensued. However once the battle begins, it becomes apparent that he is very capable of movement, easily jumping around in hopes to flatten the duo.
 
The vehicle part '''Weldar's Breath''' in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', being made from bits of Weldar, has the same basic concept. It retains his long snake-like head and neck, although its body appears to be a propane tank rather than an actual welding torch.

===Personality===
Weldar appears to be strict about the worker's guidelines, getting angry when [[Banjo|a bear]] enters the factory due to the fact it's against it. One of his most prominent traits is his bad eyesight (even mentioning he forgot to bring his glasses before his battle), often causing him to miss attacks or have trouble finding things (such as his emergency switch).
