Gnawty

Gnawtys are weak beaver enemies that appear in the Donkey Kong series. They made their first appearance in Donkey Kong Country as common enemies. Their name is a pun on the words "naughty" and "gnaw".

Enemy Description
Gnawty simply walk forward towards Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong in Donkey Kong Country. There have been several enemies in the DK series that have very similar characteristics to them, such as the Neeks. They can be defeated easily, from the standard method of jumping on their head to using any type of barrel to the usage of Animal Buddies. Two unique Gnawtys about four times the size of normal ones, Very Gnawty and Really Gnawty, appear as bosses. Both are defeated by jumping on their heads five times. Gnawtys appear in different colors, though there isn't any difference between the Gnawtys of different colors.

In Donkey Kong 64, Gnawtys are rare enemies, appearing in the Jungle Japes area and the Crystal Caves area. They also appear around Donkey Kong Island. In this game, they are slightly bluish in color and are a bit bigger than Donkey Kong. When they walk or run, they'll start squeaking. In a minigame featuring Rambi the Rhino, they must be defeated to earn points.

Trivia

 * Some fans consider Gnawtys to be Donkey Kong's equivalent to Mario's Goombas. Similarities between the two include how they both only take one hit to defeat, and that they require the player to jump on their heads.
 * There is a single Gnawty in Banjo-Kazooie, in the level Click Clock Wood. However, unlike other Gnawtys, this one is not an enemy. Banjo and Kazooie must help him by destroying a boulder blocking the path to his house, at which point they can collect one of the game's 90 Jiggies.
