Talk:Gnawty

Donkey Kong 64 name

 * It seems to me that these little guys are never referred to as Gnawties in Donkey Kong 64 as not only do the strategy guides such as this: [] refer to them as Beavers but in-game they are referred to as Beavers as well: "Beaver Brawl" and "Beaver Bother". As such, we should most likely change all references of Gnawty in Donkey Kong 64 to "Beaver" because it's the only name they have, especially in-game.

 * The game's manual calls them Gnawties, PRIMA wasn't doing their best job with DK64. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 11:22, October 13, 2022 (EDT)
 * It should be noted that some early sources refer to them as Gnawty Beavers so the guide name might have taken from that. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:57, October 13, 2022 (EDT)
 * Yeah, but we've got Nintendo's official strategy guide and their Banana Guide pretty clearly calling these guys Beavers. Plus, y'know, in-game name? PrincessPeachFan (talk) 13:06, October 13, 2022 (EDT)
 * In-game *generic term* used as a challenge title. Similar to Klepto being "the Big Bird." The manual was at least written by Rare, unlike those guides. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:11, October 13, 2022 (EDT)
 * The Nintendo Player's Guide renders it as lowercase "beaver" too, along with the BradyGAMES and VERSUS BOOKS guides. LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:39, October 13, 2022 (EDT)
 * I wonder if we can change the "referred to" in the Donkey Kong 64 section to "referred to generically as Beavers" given that the instruction manual is the only thing that actually calls Gnawties by their names, not even in-game. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 09:37, December 29, 2022 (EST)
