[[Neek]]s and [[Sneek]]s, which are also based on rodents, 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]]'', and more broadly for [[Goomba]]s from the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise.

[[File:Jungle Hijinxs SNES 3.png|thumb|left|Two Gnawties in [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]], one of which has just been defeated by Rambi]]
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', Gnawties have a green-gray fur, a light orange belly and tail as well as pink ears, hands and feet. They also have three digits on each limb and two big buckteeth. Although the Gnawty appearing on the original box art is a blue-gray fur, there are none of this color in the game. They are one of the weakest enemies encountered by [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] on their journey, as they simply walk straight ahead and can be beaten by any attack. The sound they make when they are defeated is the same as Diddy Kong's. Gnawties have an undefeatable pink-brown fur variant that moves around while standing in the center of a [[millstone]], comparable to a {{wp|hamster wheel}}, and which only appear in the two ruins levels. These Gnawties act differently depending on the level they are in: the millstone-riding Gnawties in [[Millstone Mayhem]] move up and down or back and forth more or less quickly on a set path, while the ones in [[Temple Tempest]] remain stationary until being passed by the Kongs, whom they proceed to chase on land and in the air at varying speeds along a set path until they encounter a dead-end wall. Additionally, two of the game's bosses are Gnawties, [[Very Gnawty]] and [[Really Gnawty]], both of whom requiring more hits to defeat than regular Gnawties. Very Gnawty is green-gray and Really Gnawty is pink-brown, reflecting the colors of both types of Gnawties.
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Gnawties are one of the weakest enemies encountered by [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] on their journey, as they can be defeated from any attack, including being jumped on, rolled into, or having a [[barrel]] thrown at it. Gnawties have a brown-fur variant that moves around while standing in the center hole of a [[millstone]], somewhat similar to the functionality of a {{wp|hamster wheel}}. They only appear in two temple-themed levels, [[Millstone Mayhem]] and [[Temple Tempest]]. In contrast to regular Gnawties, this variant cannot be defeated because millstones are indestructible. The millstone-riding Gnawties in Millstone Mayhem move back and forth on a set path, while the ones in Temple Tempest chase the Kongs down a path until they hit into a dead-end wall. Additionally, two of the game's bosses are Gnawties, [[Very Gnawty]] and [[Really Gnawty]], both of whom require more hits to defeat than a regular Gnawty and move around by hopping instead of walking. Very Gnawty is green gray and Really Gnawty is brown, reflecting the colors of both types of Gnawties.
 
Gnawties are differently colored in each remake. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]], the regular Gnawties have a grayish-green color (with one appearing standard green in the end credits), and the millstone-riding variant is red. Additionally, the millstone-riding Gnawties stand on top of the millstone rather than in the center. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], all Gnawties have a blueish color, including the millstone-riding variant, and the colors of Very Gnawty and Really Gnawty were swapped, with the latter now having a blueish color.


In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|game's first remake]], the regular Gnawties have a dark green-gray and green color (with one appearing simply green in the end credits), and the millstone-riding ones are red and gold. The millstone-riding Gnawties stand on top of the millstone rather than in its center, and the millstone itself is smaller. Giant Gnawties are also featured in the Buddies Beware stage of the [[Crosshair Cranky]] mini-game mode, where they chase several [[Animal Friends|Animal Buddies]] that Donkey Kong must help to escape by filling in the holes in their path. In addition to their size, these Gnawties stand out from other by a dark gray and orange color. They are the only enemies to appear in this mode alongside [[Kritter]]s and [[King K. Rool]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|second remake]], all Gnawties have a gray fur, including the millstone-riding variant. However, their [[photograph]] in the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]] uses Very Gnawty's original artwork.
Gnawties appear in the following levels:

===''Donkey Kong Land''===
Gnawties, called '''Batty Rats''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Land'' WORLD EXCLUSIVE Review booklet - ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK)|page=10|publisher=EMAP|language=en-gb}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They appear in most levels, functioning identically as before, though the millstone-riding variant does not return.
 
===''Uho'uho Donkey-kun''===
[[File:K_rool's_forces_in_Uho_Uho_Donkey_Kun.png|thumb|right|275px|A Gnawty among [[King K. Rool|K. Rool]]'s troops in ''[[Uho'uho Donkey-kun]]'']]
Gnawties appear in the first volume of the ''[[Uho'uho Donkey-kun]]'' manga, where they are under the command of King K. Rool and his first subordinate, a larger and more powerful Gnawty simply called "Gnawty". In the first chapter, their appearance is more animal-like than in games. They are part of the forces that attack Diddy Kong and seize the [[banana hoard]], which they then take to Gnawty. Later, they chase Donkey and Diddy who had gone in search of their bananas, but are finally defeated with the help of [[Rambi]].
 
In the third chapter, they look more like their game counterparts, and their tails become checkered like Gnawty's. They take part in his plan to steal the Kong's bananas by transporting them to the Gnawty's ruins (which is the Japanese name for the Millstone Mayhem and Temple Tempest levels in the game). While Donkey and Diddy have gone there, a Gnawty in a millstone attacks them by passing through a wall. As they are pursued, they jump onto the millstone, following its movement, and dismount it just before reaching a precipice. The Gnawty, too distracted by them to notice it, falls in.
 
===''Donkey Kong 64''===
[[File:Gnawty DK64 screenshot.png|thumb|left|A Gnawty as it appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'']]
Gnawties (referred to as '''Beavers''' by the [[Prima Games]] guide and the Banana Guide<ref>{{cite|author=Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page={{file link|DK64 Prima 15.jpg|15}}|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=December 1, 1999|isbn=0-7615-2279-4|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20000229072052/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/donkeykong64/cc.html|title=Donkey Kong 64 Banana Guide|publisher=nintendo.com|accessdate=May 31, 2024|language=en-us}}</ref>) are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They are larger and have light blue fur, a yellow belly and beige ears, hands, feet and tail. Like their two previous appearances, they can be defeated from any attack, including the new abilities introduced in the game. Gnawties are common in [[Jungle Japes]] and the surrounding shore of [[DK Isles]], and a few also appear in [[Crystal Caves]]. They are the opponents of the game's first [[Battle Arena Pad|Battle Arena stage]], Beaver Brawl, located in Jungle Japes. Apart from [[Kremling|Kremlings]], they are the only enemies to be present in one of these stages. In the area surrounding the [[Cranky's Lab]] of Jungle Japes, Gnawties appear to be larger, with one of them being extremely larger. Despite their size, these Gnawties are as weak as regular ones.
 
Gnawties are the main focus of the [[Beaver Bother!]] minigame, where a [[Klaptrap]] has to guide a certain number of them into a pit before time runs out. Gnawties also appear in [[Rambi Arena]], where Rambi has to defeat as many Gnawties as possible before time 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. Gold and regular Gnawties of multiple sizes also appear at several moments in the game's main menu. A gold Gnawty is present in one segment of the secret ending, appearing behind [[Dogadon]] and scaring him.
