'''Very Gnawty''' is a giant [[Gnawty]] and the boss of the [[Kongo Jungle]] in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. 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, it gets progressively faster, and its leaps become progressively larger.

'''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 its appearance with [[Really Gnawty]], a palette swap. However, while Very Gnawty has gray 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.


Gnawtys equal in size to Very Gnawty appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' and thus could be related to it. The only real difference between Very Gnawty and these Gnawtys is that the large Gnawtys of ''Donkey Kong 64'' can be defeated in just one hit instead of five like Very Gnawty.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country'', Very Gnawty is re-colored red and is larger than its [[SNES]] counterpart. Once attacked, it will jump from one side of the screen to the other before slamming into the ground.
