Gruntilda's Lair is the lair of the evil witch Gruntilda before her first defeat by Banjo and Kazooie. During Banjo-Kazooie, most of the game is set in this massive area. Within the lair itself, there are entrances to nine different worlds:
- Mumbo's Mountain
- Treasure Trove Cove
- Clanker's Cavern
- Bubblegloop Swamp
- Freezeezy Peak
- Gobi's Valley
- Mad Monster Mansion
- Rusty Bucket Bay
- Click Clock Wood
Outside of these nine worlds, there are a number of different rooms and sub-areas. The hat on top of the lair is actually a tower, which ultimately leads to the roof where the final battle against Gruntilda takes place in Banjo-Kazooie. Unlike most main antagonists' lairs, Gruntilda's Lair actually serves as a hub world of the first game.
When Banjo and Kazooie visit the lair again in Banjo-Tooie, the lair has been severely wrecked, as the entrance inside of the cave shaped like Gruntilda's face is blocked by rocks, and the players only use of visiting this area is visiting Cheato.
During Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, the lair is inaccessible but visible from the outside in Spiral Mountain (probably to make you focus on L.O.G.'s and Grunty's Challenges).

Trivia
- In Banjo-Kazooie, though after Grunty is trapped by the rock outside her castle, her launghting can stil be heard while walking through in her lair.
- In Banjo-Kazooie:Grunty's Revenge, a statue of King Jingaling's head can be seen laying on the ground outside Grunty's Castle. This could imply that at one point King Jingaling wanted to settle in Spiral Mountain with his people, but was overtaken by Grunty. This could have something to do with the dispute between Grunty and the Jinjos, and why she captures them on Banjo-Kazooie, and imprisons them in Banjo-Tooie.
- The first few bars of the theme music to Grunty's Lair sound very reminiscent to the famous song "The Teddy Bears' Picnic".
- Although they were separate game levels in the first game, the entrance to the lair was all the player could access in in the game's sequel, Banjo-Tooie and was part of the Spiral Mountain level.
- While Banjo-Tooie's version of the music track is similar to the first game, it no longer has the sound of a witch laughing in the background. This is due to Grunty's absense of the area in the game.
- When certain Game Shark or PAR cheats are used (which inadvertantly do something like violating protected memory or the checksum), the bridge to Grunty's Lair in Spiral Mountain will have a large hole in it, making it impossible to cross without a levitation cheat. There are no still effects otherwise. Amusingly, said bridge is in a similar state of disrepair in [[Banjo-Tooie]]
