Gruntilda's general appearance looks like many other depictions of witches in fiction, having green skin (the specific shade being "Swampwater Stink", which she claims to be a witchly tradition<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/BanjoKazooie/comments/5s2fna/banjokazooie_facebook_qas/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Archive on Reddit of the Banjo-Kazooie Facebook Q&A]</ref>), green eyes, black hair, a long chin, and a long nose (with some warts). She wears a black robe with a dark red interior, a purple striped scarf, Mary Janes shoes with stockings that match her scarf, and a witch hat. Gruntilda has asymmetric eyes, with her right eye being fairly normal while her left eye is in a perpetual squint. Gruntilda is obese, and in one of her lair taunts in the first game, Grunty implied that it was caused from overeating. | Gruntilda's general appearance looks like many other depictions of witches in fiction, having green skin (the specific shade being "Swampwater Stink", which she claims to be a witchly tradition<ref name="Facebook Q&A">[https://www.reddit.com/r/BanjoKazooie/comments/5s2fna/banjokazooie_facebook_qas/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Archive on Reddit of the Banjo-Kazooie Facebook Q&A]</ref>), green eyes, black hair, a long chin, and a long nose (with some warts).

In the Game Over sequence for ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Gruntilda's appearance after using the Beauty Transfer Machine shows her as significantly slimmed down, being given a petite yet busty appearance, with her dress shrinking to a great extent. She wears matching dress shoes with no socks. Her nose and chin are significantly smaller. Her eye color was changed to red and are rendered symmetrical. | In the Game Over sequence for ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Gruntilda's appearance after using the Beauty Transfer Machine shows her as significantly slimmed down, being given a petite yet busty appearance, with her dress shrinking to a great extent.

*Gruntilda's last spell before being knocked over by the Mighty Jinjonator in ''Banjo-Kazooie'' was originally supposed to hit Banjo and Kazooie and turn them into a frog, resulting in Tooty trying to restore them to normal.
