Template:Quote2 Very Gnawty, also named Gnawty and Gnawty Beaver,[1] is a giant Gnawty who appears in Donkey Kong Country as the first boss. It is fought at the end of Kongo Jungle in Very Gnawty's Lair. Its name is a pun on the phrase "very naughty," substituting the latter word with Gnawty.

In its boss battle, Very Gnawty repeatedly hops across the arena. If Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong get hit by Very Gnawty, they get injured. The Kongs can jump on Very Gnawty to attack it. After each hit, Very Gnawty moves around faster and hops higher. After five hits, Very Gnawty pants and collapses onto the ground in defeat.

In the Game Boy Advance version, when Very Gnawty is hit, it jumps to the other side of the arena before continuing to hop around. Additionally, after defeating Really Gnawty, the Kongs can find Very Gnawty in DK's Tree House. When they enter DK's Tree House, Very Gnawty turns around and sees the Kongs, then pants, and bounces out the entrance. This event only occurs once per game file.
