| '''Gnawties''' are lazy-eyed beavers and basic enemies who first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of the words "naughty" and "gnaw". In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Gnawties had a green fur color, and would later be recolored to light blue starting in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. However, the Gnawty appearing on the original box art of ''Donkey Kong Country'' is an off-blue gray color.
| |
| | |
| [[Neek]]s and [[Sneek]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', respectively, display the same behavior and weaknesses as Gnawties. This is also the case for [[Awk]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and [[Dozy|Dozies]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''.

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country''===
| |
| [[File:Jungle Hijinxs SNES 3.png|thumb|Several Gnawties, including one which has just been defeated by Rambi, in [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]].]]
| |
| In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Gnawties are among the most common and weakest of enemies, along with [[Kritter]]. Gnawties wander aimlessly in a single direction, and [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] get injured if they come in contact with a Gnawty. The [[Kong]]s can defeat a Gnawty by using any attack, including jumping on it, rolling into it, or throwing a [[Barrel]] at it.
| |
| | |
| Gnawties have a brown-fur variant that moves around on a [[millstone]], somewhat similar to the functionality of a {{wp|hamster wheel}}. They only in two temple-themed levels, both in which they appear throughout: [[Millstone Mayhem]] and [[Temple Tempest]]. In contrast to regular Gnawties, this type cannot be defeated due to their millstone being indestructible. Some millstone-riding Gnawties chase the Kongs down a path until the Gnawty hits into a dead-end wall, while some others attempt to stop them from moving back and forth in a set pattern. These Gnawties stand in the center hole of the millstone, although in the [[Game Boy Color]] version, they stand on top of the millstone.
| |
| | |
| [[Very Gnawty]] and [[Really Gnawty]], two bosses from the game, are notable members of the Gnawty species. Both of them are stronger than normal Gnawties, as they take more hits to defeat, and move around by hopping instead of walking. The former boss is colored green while the latter one is brown, which reflects the colors of both types of Gnawties. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, all Gnawties were recolored to blue, including the millstone variant, and the colors of Very Gnawty and Really Gnawty were swapped, with the latter taking on a blue color.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Land''===
| |
| Gnawties make their second appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', which only features the walking variant. They are still vulnerable to any of the Kongs' attacks. Gnawties are very common and are encountered in almost every level.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong 64''===
| |
| [[File:Gnawty DK64 screenshot.png|thumb|left|170px|A Gnawty as it appears in ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
| |
| Gnawties (referred to as '''Beavers''' by the [[Prima Games]] guide and the Banana Guide<ref>Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica. ''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima Official Game Guide. [[Media:DK64 Prima 15.jpg|Page 15]].</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20000229072052/http://www.nintendo.com:80/n64/donkeykong64/cc.html</ref>) make a third appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They are common in [[Jungle Japes]] and the surrounding shore of [[DK Isles]], and a few also appear in [[Crystal Caves]]. They are the primary enemy in Jungle Japes's Battle Arena stage, [[Battle Arena Pad#Beaver Brawl|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 featured in the [[Beaver Bother]] minigame, where the objective is for a [[Klaptrap]] to herd a certain number of Gnawties into a pit before the timer runs out. They also appear in the unlockable Rambi Arena, where [[Rambi the Rhino|Rambi]]'s objective is simply to defeat as many Gnawties before the time limit 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.
| |
| | |
| In one segment of the secret ending, [[Dogadon]] scares [[Diddy Kong]], and shortly after, a gold Gnawty appears behind Dogadon and scares him.

| |
| *One of the discarded Millstones Gnawties sometimes ride in ''Donkey Kong Country'' can be seen in [[Donkey Kong]]'s field in the game ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''.
| |
| *A large brown beaver, aptly named [[jiggywikki:Gnawty|Gnawty]], appears in the ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Kazooie|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' level, [[jiggywikki:Click Clock Wood|Click Clock Wood]]. [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] can help Gnawty by destroying a large boulder that is blocking the entrance to his home. He appears to resemble [[Very Gnawty]] from ''Donkey Kong Country'' prior to size, height, and color.
