Biography
Humba Wumba is a Native American woman and a shaman. She, like Mumbo, has a tenuous grasp on the English language. She has a tendency to overuse the phrase "big heap," for example, calling Bottles' party a "big heap bummer." In Banjo-Tooie she wears a yellow headband matching yellow dress, and a feather in her long hair. In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, she wears a yellow headband with a feather in her hair, a small plaid top, khaki shorts and cowboy boots. She appears to know Mumbo from some time back. Amusingly, she and Mumbo both believe themselves to be the best shamen around.
In the Games
Banjo-Tooie
Humba debuted in Banjo-Tooie. In this game, she assumes the role Mumbo Jumbo played in Banjo-Kazooie of transforming Banjo and Kazooie into different animals/objects. She can be seen in any of the Isle o' Hags' many wigwams. If you find a Glowbo and give it to Humba, she will throw it into her pool of purple water, giving it magic powers. Should Banjo now dive into this pool, he will emerge transformed into something else. At one point in Banjo-Tooie's development - it is possible that Rare intended to have Humba Wumba's face disfigured in a similar fashion to Mumbo's. However, if that idea was ever considered - it has now been dropped.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Humba appears in the town square of Showdown Town, in a small shop selling blueprints and vehicle parts. She also appears as an actor in the Nutty Acres, LOGBOX 720 and Terrarium of Terror game worlds.

Relations with other characters
- Mumbo: She is his rival, and dislikes him intensely, a feeling mutually shared by Mumbo. However, it is unknown precisely why the two dislike each other so much.
