Gnawshers are Chomp-like enemies with wings and golden teeth that chomp through blocks, other enemies, collectibles, or items. While the more common black variants simply travel straight in a horizontal or vertical manner, eating anything in their path, red variants would fly around idly until they are close to something that they can consume, be it the player, other enemies (except other Gnawshers), or coins, chasing after their chosen prey and switching targets depending on what is closest to them. Gnawshers can be defeated by any form of attack (stomps, fireballs, elephant trunk strikes, bubbles, drill attacks, Yoshi's tongue, or contact with players made invincible by a Super Star).
Gnawshers appear prominently in a level with their own name, Gnawsher Lair, where a black Gnawsher can potentially consume the block holding the level's Wonder Flower, which is hinted at by one Talking Flower asking the player if they think the Gnawshers ate it. If the player is quick enough to get the Wonder Flower before this, the resulting Wonder Effect spawns a horde of black Gnawshers from the left, destroying everything in their path. These Gnawshers are invulnerable to damage, but they can be stunned by Red POW Blocks (triggered either by the player or contact with the horde itself), momentarily stopping their advance. Eleven red Gnawshers are also encountered in the second section of KO Arena Magma Flare-Up, where they can be distracted by coins in bubbles, while another horde of black Gnawshers is spawned to chase the player through a crystal section of The Final Test Wonder Gauntlet.
Their name is a combination of "gnaw" and "gnasher".
