Gruntilda actually has a last name
Did anyone know that Gruntilda has a last name? Her last name is "Winkybunion" (from winky, as in someone who loves to wink, and bunion, the swelling of a foot's joint).
From TV Tropes:
- Cutting Off the Branches: In the first game, "Winkybunion" was just one of three potential Embarrassing Middle Names Gruntilda could have. In later games, it ascended to being her actual last name instead.
- Embarrassing Middle Name: Gruntilda Winkybunion is randomly given one in the first game for use in the Pop Quiz at the end.
- Embarrassing Last Name: Gruntilda's last name is Winkybunion. She accidentally reveals this in the middle of the final battle, much to Banjo and Kazooie's amusement.
Quote from Banjo-Tooie:
- Gruntilda: Prepare to join your buddy Bottles! You'll wish you'd never taken on the mighty Gruntilda Winkybunion!
- Kazooie: Winkybunion? Is that your last name then?
- Gruntilda: Err...um, no. Of course not. But don't you go telling anyone or I'll sue you...
- Banjo: Whatever you say, Winky!
- Gruntilda: Now die!
I learned that from TV Tropes, even before beating Banjo-Tooie. Jake Lugo (talk) 00:12, October 26, 2023 (EDT)
