15 Bosses We Underestimated Only to Get Beaten Down Later

Gruntilda – Banjo-Kazooie

What harm could a goofy witch do? A lot, as it turns out, and we’re not referring to her terrible rhymes. Gruntilda may joke around and host lame game shows to stop Banjo and Kazooie but she’s also incredibly tough in the first game’s final boss battle. Upon resurfacing in Banjo-Tooie, Gruntilda dispenses with the pleasantries and straight up kills Bottles. Appearances, especially kid-friendly cartoony ones, can always be deceiving in Rare games.
