[[File:SexyGrunty.jpg|thumb|Grunty after being transformed if the player gets a Game Over.]] In the [[Banjo-Kazooie|first game]], Gruntilda played the role of the stereotypical "evil witch". She spoke only in rhymes and was known for being extremely vain, which is odd considering how ugly she appears. She has a bad habit of picking her nose, as seen in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' intro cutscene. Like most witches, she uses a [[Gruntilda's Broomstick|broomstick]] for transportation. | [[File:SexyGrunty.jpg|thumb|Grunty after being transformed if the player gets a Game Over.]] In the [[Banjo-Kazooie|first game]], Gruntilda played the role of the stereotypical "evil witch".

When [[Dingpot]] revealed that [[Tooty]], [[Banjo]]'s sister, was the "''prettiest and fairest in the land''", Gruntilda became infuriated and kidnapped Tooty (however, the manual implies that Gruntilda was already planning on snatching a denizen from Spiral Mountain to steal their beauty to one-up her sister, Brentilda.

According to the manual, she was actually deep-down glad that Tooty was prettier than her as it gave her an excuse to subject her as her first test specimen). She selfishly plotted to use a "[[Beauty Transfer Machine]]" to drain Tooty's youth and beauty and transfer it to her own ugly self, which would result in Grunty becoming pretty and thin and Tooty becoming ugly, fat and green. Banjo and his good friend [[Kazooie]] chased the witch through her [[Gruntilda's Lair|massive lair]], where she had created several worlds filled with her minions and various challenges to stop the duo. | ||
As the pair progressed, Gruntilda shouted rhyming taunts and various insults in an attempt to keep the pair away. But with the help from various sources, including her nicer sister [[Brentilda]] who told Banjo and Kazooie interesting secrets regarding Gruntilda, the bear and bird duo were able to complete the worlds and reach Grunty's last challenge before rescuing Tooty: a twisted game show called [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]]. After the duo won the game show, Gruntilda ran away and Banjo and Kazooie rescued Tooty. Later, the bear and bird journeyed to the roof of Gruntilda's Lair and faced off in a battle with Grunty. | As the pair progressed, Gruntilda shouted rhyming taunts and various insults in an attempt to keep the pair away.

*Gruntilda has been relying more and more on technology and less and less on magic as time went by, as proven in Banjo-Tooie where she needed B.O.B. to suck the life force out of the island and where she used the Hag-1 for most of her battle with Banjo and Kazooie. This is also proven in Nuts and Bolts where she claims to have created the Gruntbot minions on her own and uses vehicles like Banjo and Kazooie to fight them in her challenges. Though she has a robot body, this was provided by L.O.G. so she had a fighting change against Banjo and Kazooie. She also uses a life transfer machine in Banjo-Kazooie and, although built by Klungo, she needs a Mecha-Grunty suit in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge. | *Gruntilda has been relying more and more on technology and less and less on magic as time went by, as proven in Banjo-Tooie where she needed B.O.B. to suck the life force out of the island and where she used the Hag-1 for most of her battle with Banjo and Kazooie.

*Gruntilda's last spell before being knocked over by the Jinjonator was originally supposed to hit Banjo and Kazooie and turn them into a frog, resulting in Tooty trying to restore them to normal. It was cut out of the final version due to time constraints. | *Gruntilda's last spell before being knocked over by the Jinjonator was originally supposed to hit Banjo and Kazooie and turn them into a frog, resulting in Tooty trying to restore them to normal.

The only difference between the Killing Curse and Gruntilda's curse is the fact that the Killing Curse kills the target immediately after being hit by it and Grunty's curse didn't seem to fully kill Bottles until the morning. | ||
