'''Very Gnawty''' is a giant [[Gnawty]] and the boss of the [[Kongo Jungle]] in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Its name is a pun on "very naughty". It is the first boss of the game and appears in the level '''Very Gnawty's Lair'''. To defeat Very Gnawty, [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] must [[Jump]] on top of it five times, at which point it gasps and collapses onto the ground. The beaver boss attacks by jumping horizontally at the [[Kong]]s. After each hit, Very Gnawty becomes progressively faster, and its leaps become longer.

'''Very Gnawty''', also named '''Gnawty''' and '''Gnawty Beaver''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 26 (NMS Special), pages 11 and 13.</ref> is a giant [[Gnawty]] and the first boss in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Very Gnawty has black-patterned green fur and pink hands, ears and webbed feet, as well as two buckteeth, three fingers on each hand and an orange belly and tail. Its name is a pun on the phrase "very naughty," substituting the latter word with Gnawty. As a boss, Very Gnawty is fought in [[Very Gnawty's Lair]], at the end of [[Kongo Jungle]]. It repeatedly hops across the arena. Like with most other enemies, Very Gnawty can damage [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] by touching them. Very Gnawty can take damage from being [[stomp]]ed, and it moves quicker and hops higher with each hit. After five hits, Very Gnawty is defeated.


Very Gnawty shares a resemblance with [[Really Gnawty]]. However while Very Gnawty has green fur, Really Gnawty has brown fur.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Very Gnawty's fur color was changed to red, formerly that of [[Really Gnawty]]'s, who in turn had its fur color changed to blue. Additionally, when Very Gnawty is hit in its boss battle, it jumps to the other side of the arena before continuing to hop around. Additionally, after defeating [[Really Gnawty]], there is a one-time event of Very Gnawty in [[DK's Tree House]], and when the Kongs enter, it turns around to look at them, pants, and proceeds to hop out of the entrance.


In the [[Donkey Kong Country#Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance remake]] of ''Donkey Kong Country'', Very Gnawty is re-colored red and is larger than in the original game. Once attacked, it will jump from one side of the screen to the other before slamming into the ground. In this version of the game, Very Gnawty can also be found inside [[DK's Tree House]] after defeating Really Gnawty. When it realizes Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong has entered the tree house, the beaver runs past them and out of the front door. This can be performed only once per file.

Gnawties which are equal in size to Very Gnawty appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. The only difference between Very Gnawty and these Gnawties is that the large Gnawties of ''Donkey Kong 64'' can be defeated in just one hit, rather than five as in ''Donkey Kong Country''.
