'''Very Gnawty''' is a giant [[Gnawty]] and the boss of the [[Kongo Jungle]] in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. His name is a pun on "very naughty". He is the first boss of the game, appearing in the level [[Very Gnawty's Lair]]. His behavior consists of hopping across the battle arena, damaging the [[Kong]]s upon touching them. The characters must attack Very Gnawty by jumping on him, causing the enemy to move faster. After five such hits, he gasps and collapses onto the ground, signifying defeat.

'''Very Gnawty''', also named '''Gnawty''' and '''Gnawty Beaver''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 26 (NMS Special)|page=11 and 13|date=November 1994|language=en-gb}}</ref> is a giant [[Gnawty]] and the first boss in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Very Gnawty has black-patterned green fur and pink hands, ears and webbed feet, as well as two buckteeth, three fingers on each hand and an orange belly and tail. Its name is a pun on the phrase "very naughty," substituting the latter word with Gnawty. As a boss, Very Gnawty is fought in [[Very Gnawty's Lair]], at the end of [[Kongo Jungle]]. It repeatedly hops across the arena. Like with most other enemies, Very Gnawty can damage [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] by touching them. Very Gnawty can take damage from being [[stomp]]ed, and it moves quicker and hops higher with each hit. After five hits, Very Gnawty is defeated.
 
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Very Gnawty's fur color was changed to red, formerly that of [[Really Gnawty]]'s, who in turn had its fur color changed to blue. Additionally, when Very Gnawty is hit in its boss battle, it jumps to the other side of the arena before continuing to hop around. Additionally, after defeating [[Really Gnawty]], there is a one-time event of Very Gnawty in [[DK's Tree House]], and when the Kongs enter, it turns around to look at them, pants, and proceeds to hop out of the entrance.

*In the Game Boy Advance version, Very Gnawty can also be found inside [[DK's Tree House]] after defeating Really Gnawty. When he realizes Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong has entered the tree house, the beaver runs past them and out of the front door. This can be performed only once per file.
 
*Gnawties equal in size to Very Gnawty appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', near [[Cranky's Lab]] in [[Jungle Japes]]. The only difference between Very Gnawty and these Gnawties is that the large Gnawties of ''Donkey Kong 64'' can be defeated in just one hit, rather than five as in ''Donkey Kong Country''.

Very Gnawty, also named Gnawty and Gnawty Beaver,[1] is a giant Gnawty and the first boss in Donkey Kong Country. Very Gnawty has black-patterned green fur and pink hands, ears and webbed feet, as well as two buckteeth, three fingers on each hand and an orange belly and tail. Its name is a pun on the phrase "very naughty," substituting the latter word with Gnawty. As a boss, Very Gnawty is fought in Very Gnawty's Lair, at the end of Kongo Jungle. It repeatedly hops across the arena. Like with most other enemies, Very Gnawty can damage Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong by touching them. Very Gnawty can take damage from being stomped, and it moves quicker and hops higher with each hit. After five hits, Very Gnawty is defeated.

In the Game Boy Advance version, Very Gnawty's fur color was changed to red, formerly that of Really Gnawty's, who in turn had its fur color changed to blue. Additionally, when Very Gnawty is hit in its boss battle, it jumps to the other side of the arena before continuing to hop around. Additionally, after defeating Really Gnawty, there is a one-time event of Very Gnawty in DK's Tree House, and when the Kongs enter, it turns around to look at them, pants, and proceeds to hop out of the entrance.
