The Gnaw, also known as the Eternal Gnaw, is a creature exclusive to the The Gorge event. While not directly seen in-game, the Gnaw still has a Hangry Meter that governs the progress of a round of gameplay. Interactions with the Gnaw are almost exclusively conducted through The Altar of Gnaw, where players sacrifice prepared dishes in exchange for coins and a delay in the Gnaw's displeasure. If the Hangry Meter reaches its end, the round is lost and the players are transformed into Merms.
The Gnaw demands to be fed by the residents of the Elder Bog, threatening them with mermification when not given food. According to various profile background descriptions, the Gnaw's plague of mermification killed off most of the goats in the dimension, and the remaining ones started worshipping the Gnaw.
