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]].

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 | 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. | ||

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. | Gnawties (referred to as '''Beavers''' by the [[Prima Games]] guide and the Banana Guide<ref>Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica.
