Difference between revisions of "Gruntilda"

Gruntilda falls off the tower and crashes into the ground. Seconds later, a large falling rock traps her beneath, sealing her first defeat. Banjo, Kazooie, and Tooty take a vacation to celebrate, during which Gruntilda's minion [[Klungo]] spends two years attempting to remove the enormous boulder and save Gruntilda. Unfortunately, she remained alive and vowed her revenge upon the pair one day.

Two months have passed since Grunty was knocked off her tower in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', and she has been perfecting her plan for revenge ever since. [[Klungo]] builds her a mechanical body, aptly called [[Mecha-Grunty]], for her ghost to inhabit. Rather than fighing the duo as the main antagonist in a body of her own, she operates Mecha Grunty and cause chaos by going back and time and kidnapping [[Kazooie]].  

After [[Banjo-Kazooie|two years had passed]], Gruntilda was suddenly freed from her prison by the sudden appearance of her sisters, [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]]. Their evil spells levitated the rock that trapped Grunty, and they discovered that she had been degenerated into a skeleton. Furious at her new bony body, Gruntilda asked her sisters for help in restoring her. "Mingy" and "Blobby" had already planned for such an event, and the three prepared to leave [[Spiral Mountain]]. Before they did, when [[Mumbo]] had wandered out of the Banjo's house to find the source of the ruckus caused when Mingella and Bloddelda entered with [[Hag 1]], Grunty chased him and tried to kill him. Seeing him enter Banjo's house, she prepared a bigger spell to destroy it, and while Banjo, Kazooie, and Mumbo escaped, [[Bottles]] stayed behind assuming Mumbo was lying and trying to win at their poker game, resulting him being killed by the blast, which also ruined Banjo's house. The trio of witches then used the [[Hag 1]] digging machine to reach [[Cauldron Keep]] on [[Isle o' Hags]], where Mingella and Blobbelda revealed their [[B.O.B.]] machine. It was designed to suck the life out of anything captured in its beam; Gruntilda practiced this on [[King Jingaling]], reducing him to a zombie. It is also interesting to note that Gruntilda stopped speaking in rhyme at this point (her sisters found it "annoying"). Gruntilda then wanted to use B.O.B. on the whole island, but is informed that it will take time for it to charge up before that can happen. For the rest of the game she stays in Cauldron Keep, but will usually talk to Banjo and Kazooie whenever they enter a mini-game. They eventually meet her again in Cauldron Keep, where she makes an attempt to destroy Banjo-Kazooie with another game show, this competing against her two sisters, called [[Tower of Tragedy]], in which the loser would have a 1-ton weight dropped on them. Her plan failed, and she ended up killing her two sisters, but because of her temper declares Banjo and Kazooie's win "invalid due to the faulty scoring equipment". Not sure of what to do next, Gruntilda takes Kazooie's advice to "escape a cowardly fashion like in Banjo-Kazooie", and she tells the duo she'll be at the top of the tower, though she of course boasts she will win this time. Sure enough, Banjo and Kazooie found Gruntilda in the Hag 1 waiting for them at the top of Cauldron Keep. Although she had more success than the last time she attacked Banjo and Kazooie (she killed two of his allies), Gruntilda's revenge plans failed and was defeated yet again, and reduced to nothing more than a talking skull. She swore that she would get her revenge in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts|Banjo-Threeie]]''.
