Clinker is an anthropomorphic loudspeaker who never appears in "person", but whose voice is heard whenever Banjo and Kazooie make a misstep in Grunty Industries. His voice is heard often throughout Clinker's Cavern, implying that the cavern is his and that his name is, indeed, Clinker, although the fungi-like creatures that the player must clean off the vents in Clinker's Cavern are also referred to as "Clinkers". The area's name is also a pun on "Clanker's Cavern", a level from the previous game and the level is in fact the complex multiplayer map from Goldeneye 007. Whether this is his true name or not has never been official.
