Banjo

Banjo is a bear who appears in the Banjo Kazooie games and the Banjo & Kazooie Adventures Series - alongside Kazooie of course.

In the first Banjo Kazooie game, Banjo and Kazooie rescued Banjo's sister Tooty from the evil witch Gruntilda Winkybunion. After a fight against the witch, he sent Grunty tumbling to her death.

2 years later [Banjo-Tooie], Grunty rose from her grave and used a spell to destroy Banjo's house and kill Bottles. But the bear and bird beat her and revived Bottles.

8 years later [Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts], Banjo, Kazooie and Grunty had another adventure. Despite losing all their abilities from the last 2 games, he and Kazooie weren't so easily beaten. Then Banjo and Kazooie became the owners of Spiral Mountain.
