Gruntilda's Lair
Information
Theme	Cave/Lair
Game(s)	Banjo-Kazooie Banjo-Tooie (entrance only) Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (only the outside)

Gruntilda's Lair, as it would imply, is the home of Gruntilda before her first defeat by Banjo and Kazooie. During Banjo-Kazooie, most of the game is set in this massive area, which contain 9 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,

and there's a considerable amount of space outside of the levels. Unlike most main antagonists' lairs, this actually serves as a hub world. During Banjo-Tooie, the entrance inside of the cave shaped like Gruntilda's face is blocked, so the player can only enter to the cave to visit the magic book Cheato. During Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, you can only see the outside of it (probably to make you focus on LOG's and Grunty's Challenges).
