DESCRIPTION:
A small bipedal animal with no head, one eye and a large mouth. Originating from Sirius, and trained by Mental to attack opposing forces. The males are smaller, purple and not as tough as females.
TIPS:
- They have no range weapons, just keep away
- Some species can levitate
Tactics:
Small one-eyed gimp. Attacks by running up to Sam and biting at his kneecaps. Considering that Sam can actually retreat faster than they can chase (at least, until
Serious difficulty, where they are considerably sped up) this is not comprehensively terrifying.
A small subset of these has the ability to fly. The only functional difference between a flying gnaar and a walking gnaar is that the flying one looks sillier.
Rare specimens of the gender have been seen to imitate the female's trick of
Invisibility. This
still does not make them threatening. In many cases, the greatest threat a gnaar can cause is inadvertantly running in front of the player when he's using the rocket launcher, causing him to blow himself up.
