Difference between revisions of "Gruntilda"

In the [[Banjo-Kazooie|first game]], Gruntilda played the the role of "evil witch" quite nicely. She spoke only in rhyme, and was known for her extreme vanity; strange, considering how ugly she appears. She also rides on a broomstick. When [[Dingpot]] revealed that [[Tooty]], the sister of [[Banjo]], was the "fairest in the land", Gruntilda became incensed and kidnapped the child. She plotted to use a "Beauty Transfer Machine" to drain Tooty's youth and beauty and transfer it to herself. Banjo and his pal [[Kazooie]] chased the witch through her [[Gruntilda's Lair|mammoth lair]], where she had created various worlds filled with her minions and challenges. As the pair progressed, Gruntilda shouted rhyming taunts and various insults to keep the pair away. With help from various sources-including her sister [[Brentilda]], Banjo and Kazooie were able to make through the worlds and reach the last challenge before rescuing Tooty, a twisted gameshow created by Gruntilda called [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]]. After the duo cleared the game, Gruntilda runs away and leaves them to rescue Tooty. Later, the two journeyed to the roof and battled Grunty, with aid from the [[Jinjo]]s that she had imprisoned throughout the worlds. She was defeated by the Jinjonator and trapped beneath an enormous rock, which her minion [[Klungo]] spent two years attempting to remove. Oddly enough, she remained alive, and vowed revenge upon the pair.
