Biography
Gobi is a camel who lives in Gobi's Valley. He is notable for having a running joke in the series involving Banjo and Kazooie constantly slamming into his hump to get something out of him (usually water), much to his chagrin.
In the Games
Banjo-Kazooie
In Banjo-Kazooie, Gobi first appears in his home, Gobi's Valley. At first he is tied to a rock, however, Banjo and Kazooie free him from his imprisonment by Beak Busting the rock. He then runs off to the beginning of the level, in front of Trunker the thirsty tree. Gobi notes that Trunker looks dehydrated, but decides to keep his water for himself. This prompts Banjo and Kazooie to Beak Bust him, causing him to spit out water into Trunker's mouth, hydrating the tree. Gobi becomes annoyed and hides at the nook of the valley containing the door that leads to the Blue Stop 'N' Swop Egg room. Banjo and Kazooie find him there and Beak Bust him yet again, getting an Empty Honeycomb Piece out of him. After this, Gobi runs off once again.
He later appears in the game's final level, Click Clock Wood, near a large plant that Banjo and Kazooie have been growing. When they approach he says "Oh, no...not you two again!" and they Beak Bust him once more in order to water the large plant. Gobi then runs away one final time, stating that he's going to the "lava world."
Banjo-Tooie
In Banjo-Tooie, Banjo and Kazooie find him in Witchyworld, trapped in the Cave of Horrors. He tells them he was kidnapped on his way to the lava world and has been in the Cave of Horrors ever since (his time in there has caused him to grow a large unkempt beard although if talked to first time under certain conditions, he will reveal the beard as a fake. most likely for the freak show). He pleads with them to let him out and they do, by blasting his cage door with a Grenade Egg. He then heads off to finally reach the lava world, which turns out to be the Fire Side of Hailfire Peaks.
In Hailfire Peaks, Gobi appears in the Train Station of the Fire Side. Banjo and Kazooie bring Chuffy there and once again Beak Bust him, causing him to spit water into the train, cooling its boiler and allowing it to enter the Icy Side Train Station without trouble.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (Cameo)
In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Gobi does not appear in person. However, there is a LOG's Choice vehicle in Banjoland resembling him called the L.O.G. Gobimobile.
