'''Gnawshers''' are winged [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]-like enemies with golden eyes and teeth that chomp through blocks, other enemies, collectibles, or items, hence their name, which is a combination of "gnaw" and "gnasher". Most Gnawshers have black-colored bodies, and they simply travel straight horizontally or vertically, eating anything in their path. There are also [[Bull's-Eye Gnawsher|red variants]] that home-in on targets, similar to the relationship between [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s. Gnawshers can be defeated by any form of attack.
During the [[Wonder Effect]] in Gnawsher Lair, a horde of Gnawshers chase the player from the left and can be stunned with a [[Red POW Block]].
 
Their name is a combination of "gnaw" and "gnasher".


Gnawshers appear prominently in a level dedicated to them, [[Gnawsher Lair]]. In a later point in this level, a Gnawsher can potentially consume the [[? Block]] holding the level's [[Wonder Flower]]. If the player is quick enough to get the Wonder Flower before this, the resulting [[Wonder Effect]] summons a horde of [[Wonder Gnawsher]]s from the left, destroying everything in their path (except for certain platforms like [[lift]]s).

—Talking Flower, Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Gnawshers are winged Chomp-like enemies with golden eyes and teeth that chomp through blocks, other enemies, collectibles, or items, hence their name, which is a combination of "gnaw" and "gnasher". Most Gnawshers have black-colored bodies, and they simply travel straight horizontally or vertically, eating anything in their path. There are also red variants that home-in on targets, similar to the relationship between Bullet Bills and Bull's-Eye Bills. Gnawshers can be defeated by any form of attack.

Gnawshers appear prominently in a level dedicated to them, Gnawsher Lair. In a later point in this level, a Gnawsher can potentially consume the ? Block holding the level's Wonder Flower. If the player is quick enough to get the Wonder Flower before this, the resulting Wonder Effect summons a horde of Wonder Gnawshers from the left, destroying everything in their path (except for certain platforms like lifts).
