'''Gnawties''', sometimes referred to as '''Gnawty Beavers''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) #26. Special pages 12, 13, and 21.</ref><ref name=GB>「任天堂公式ガイドブック スーパードンキーコングGB」 (''Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook – Super Donkey Kong GB''). Page 9.</ref> are lazy-eyed beavers and basic enemies who first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Their name is a pun on the words "gnaw" and "naughty". In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Gnawties had a green gray fur, and would later be recolored to light blue starting in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. However, the Gnawty appearing on the original box art of ''Donkey Kong Country'' is a blue gray color. | |||
[[Neek]]s and [[Sneek]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', respectively, display the same behavior and weaknesses as Gnawties, in addition to also being based on rodents. This is also the case for [[Awk]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and [[Dozy|Dozies]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', and more broadly for [[Goomba]]s from the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. | |||

In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Gnawties are one of the weakest enemies encountered by [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] on their journey, as they can be defeated from any attack, including being jumped on, rolled into, or having a [[barrel]] thrown at it. Gnawties have a brown-fur variant that moves around while standing in the center hole of a [[millstone]], somewhat similar to the functionality of a {{wp|hamster wheel}}. They only appear in two temple-themed levels, [[Millstone Mayhem]] and [[Temple Tempest]]. In contrast to regular Gnawties, this variant cannot be defeated because millstones are indestructible. The millstone-riding Gnawties in Millstone Mayhem move back and forth on a set path, while the ones in Temple Tempest chase the Kongs down a path until they hit into a dead-end wall. Additionally, two of the game's bosses are Gnawties, [[Very Gnawty]] and [[Really Gnawty]], both of whom require more hits to defeat than a regular Gnawty and move around by hopping instead of walking. Very Gnawty is green gray and Really Gnawty is brown, reflecting the colors of both types of Gnawties. | |||
Gnawties are differently colored in each remake. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]], the regular Gnawties have a grayish-green color (with one appearing standard green in the end credits), and the millstone-riding variant is red. Additionally, the millstone-riding Gnawties stand on top of the millstone rather than in the center. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], all Gnawties have a blueish color, including the millstone-riding variant, and the colors of Very Gnawty and Really Gnawty were swapped, with the latter now having a blueish color. | |||
Gnawties appear in the following levels: | |||

Gnawties (referred to as '''Beavers''' by the [[Prima Games]] guide and the Banana Guide<ref>Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica. ''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima's Official Game Guide. {{media link|DK64 Prima 15.jpg|Page 15}}.</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000229072052/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/donkeykong64/cc.html Donkey Kong 64 Banana Guide]. nintendo.com. Archived February 29, 2000, 07:20:52 UTC from the [http://www.nintendo.com/n64/donkeykong64/cc.html original] via Wayback Machine. Retrieved September 21, 2018.</ref>) make a third appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' where they are bigger and have light blue fur. They are common in [[Jungle Japes]] and the surrounding shore of [[DK Isles]], and a few also appear in [[Crystal Caves]]. They are the primary enemy in Jungle Japes's [[Battle Arena Pad|Battle Arena stage]], Beaver Brawl. Like their two previous appearances, Gnawties can be defeated from any attack, including the new abilities introduced in the game. In an area surrounding the [[Cranky's Lab]] of Jungle Japes, Gnawties appear in increasingly large sizes and rival the size of Very Gnawty and Really Gnawty. Gnawties are the main focus of the [[Beaver Bother]] minigame, where a [[Klaptrap]] has to guide a certain number of them into a pit before time runs out. Gnawties also appear in [[Rambi Arena]], where [[Rambi the Rhino|Rambi]] has to defeat as many Gnawties as possible before time runs out; defeating a Gnawty would reward a point to Rambi. Sometimes a gold Gnawty appears in the arena, and defeating it rewards ten points. A gold Gnawty also appears in one segment of the secret ending, appearing behind [[Dogadon]] and scaring him. | |||

* | *[[jiggywikki:Gnawty|Gnawty]] is also the name of a large brown beaver who appears in the ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Kazooie|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' level, [[jiggywikki:Click Clock Wood|Click Clock Wood]]. [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] can help Gnawty by destroying a large boulder that is blocking the entrance to his home. He appears to resemble [[Really Gnawty]] from ''Donkey Kong Country'' (or [[Very Gnawty]] in the later [[Game Boy Advance]] remake) in terms of size, height, and color. | ||
