Gnawgas are reptile-like mammals with the same general body shape as boars, but have an oversized head and jaws. The body is covered by large portions of hairless skin, with coarse patches of wiry hair in odd places. Their legs are muscular and dog-like. Gnawgas are found almost exclusively as guards and pets by gnits (q.v.) or evil gnomes. They serve their masters with blind devotion.
