| {{Quote|Gnawty the beaver can be [[Roll Attack|rolled]] or [[Jump|jumped]] on!|Cranky Kong|Donkey Kong Country}}
| | 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. |
| 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 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 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. |

| 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. | | Gnawties make their second appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', which only features the walking variant. They are still vulnerable to any of the Kongs attack. Gnawties are very common and are encountered in almost every level. |

| |
| 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.

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. Gnawties are common in the surrounding shore of [[DK Isles]] and in [[Jungle Japes]], 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. 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.

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 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. In one segment of the secret ending, a little gold Gnawty comes up behind [[Dogadon]] and shouts at him, scaring him so much that he takes refuge behind Diddy Kong. In another segment, a group of little Gnawties all scream together, accompanied by a giant gold Gnawty whose screams are so loud they shake the camera. | | 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 rewards a point to Rambi. Sometimes a gold Gnawty appears in the arena, and defeating it rewards ten points. |
