Jinjos

Jinjos are little creatures found in all games of the Banjo-Kazooie series. These creatures come in a variety of colors. It hasn't been explained in detail, but Jinjos seem to have magical powers, possessing the ability to fly among other things.

In Banjo-Tooie, it was revealed that Jinjos live in a small village and are ruled by King Jingaling, a yellow Jinjo who is at least three times the size of a regular Jinjo. It was also revealed that there are evil versions of Jinjos, known as Minjos, who disguise themselves as Jinjos and attack Banjo when he tries to collect them.
