Editing Gnawty

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 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 has to help 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 (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 main enemy of Jungle Japes's [[Battle Arena Pad|Battle Arena stage]], Beaver Brawl. In the area surrounding the [[Cranky's Lab]] of Jungle Japes, Gnawties appear to be larger, rivalling the size of Very Gnawty and Really Gnawty, 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. A gold Gnawty also appears in one segment of the secret ending, appearing behind [[Dogadon]] and scaring him. Gold and regular Gnawties of multiple sizes also appear at several moments in the game's main menu.
