Gnawshers are Chomp-like enemies with wings and golden teeth that chomp through blocks, other enemies, collectibles, or items. Red variants can also be found, where they instead chase enemies or the player, attempting to bite them. They appear prominently in a level with their own name, Gnawsher Lair.
During the Wonder Effect in Gnawsher Lair, a horde of Gnawshers chase the player from the left and can be stunned with a Red POW Block.
Their name is a combination of "gnaw" and "gnasher".
