Toots

That Little Anteater Thingy
Toots is a little anteater-like creature that is a pet of King Jingaling's. It doesn't do anything in the game except make an occasional peeping sound while you are talking to Jingaling. People who have played Banjo-Kazooie might have also seen Toots before. In B-K, you can find a slightly smaller version of Toots sitting next to the snake charmer at Gobi's Desert. It might be the same creature, but it seems pretty far fetched that Toots alone escaped Grunty's Lair in Spiral Mountain and somehow made it to King Jingaling's Throne Room, while gaining a couple pounds in the process.
