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).
