'''Whiplashes''' are an enemy and obstacle in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. They exclusively appear inside [[Clanker]]'s belly during [[Clanker's Cavern]]. These brownish pink tentacles will sway calmly back and forth until [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] swim by, reacting to their presence by thrashing about madly trying to whip the duo. Whiplashes are immune to [[Blue Eggs]] and, since they are always found either underwater or otherwise out of reach while on foot, they cannot be taken on with the [[Wonderwing]] like the similar [[Whipcrack]]s.
'''Whiplashes''' are artificial tentacle-like enemies that appear in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]''. Most Whiplashes are pink, but some are green, depending on the area


Whiplashes are far more common in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', and fortunately, can be killed easily with just about any attack. They are found in every world, both on land and in water, in the open and hiding under piles of sticks. Sickly-looking green Whipcracks can also be seen in the oily waters of [[Spiller's Harbor]] and in the icy sea of the [[Freezing Furnace]], but there does not appear to be any difference between these and normal Whiplashes besides the coloration.
