Gnawties, sometimes referred to as Gnawty Beavers,[1][2] are lazy-eyed beavers and basic enemies who first appear in Donkey Kong Country. Their name is a portmanteau of the words "gnaw" and "naughty." In Donkey Kong Country, Gnawties had a green gray fur, and would later be recolored to light blue starting in Donkey Kong 64.

Neeks and Sneeks 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, in addition to also being based on rodents. This is also the case for Awks from Donkey Kong Country Returns and Dozies from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and more broadly for Goombas from the Super Mario series.

History

Donkey Kong Country

Rambi the Rhino defeats a Gnawty in Jungle Hijinxs of Donkey Kong Country
Two Gnawties in Jungle Hijinxs, one of which has just been defeated by Rambi

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 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 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 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.

Donkey Kong Land

Gnawties, called Batty Rats,[3] make their second appearance in Donkey Kong Land, which only features the walking variant. They are still vulnerable to any of the Kongs' attacks and very common.

Gnawties (referred to as Beavers by the Prima Games guide and the Banana Guide[4][5]) are enemies in Donkey Kong 64. They are larger and have light blue fur. They 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 stage, 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. A gold Gnawty also appears in one segment of the secret ending, appearing behind Dogadon and scaring him.

Trivia

  • The Gnawty appearing on the original box art of Donkey Kong Country is a blue gray color, although they are not of this color in the game.
  • Gnawty is also the name of a large brown beaver who appears in the Banjo-Kazooie level, 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 Really Gnawty from Donkey Kong Country (or Very Gnawty in the later Game Boy Advance remake) in terms of size, height, and color.
