'''Very Gnawty''' is a giant [[Gnawty]] and the first boss in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', fought at the end of [[Kongo Jungle]] in [[Very Gnawty's Lair]]. Its name is a pun on "very naughty" and Gnawty, its species.  
'''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 his boss battle, Very Gnawty repeatedly hops across the arena. If [[Donkey Kong]] and Diddy Kong get hit by Very Gnawty, they get injured. The [[Kong]]s can jump on Very Gnawty to attack it. After each hit, Very Gnawty moves around faster. After five hits, Very Gnawty pants and collapses onto the ground in defeat.
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 [[Donkey Kong Country#Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance version]], when Very Gnawty is hit, he 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.
In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Very Gnawty is the mother of a baby Gnawty and attacks the heroes when they hurt her kid when he attempted to scare [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] with shadow tricks. She is defeated when Mario ignites some [[TNT Barrel]]s she is holding with a fireball. The baby Gnawty will later reappear in [[Millstone Mayhem]] trying to use the [[Millstone|titular obstacles]] to get revenge.
