Overview
Edit
Gnaars are bipedal, omnivorous mammals originating from the planet Sirius. They are not intelligent creatures, only useful after being trained by Mental for his army.
Appearance
Edit
The female Gnaar is larger and much more aggressive than its male counterpart and is recognised by its brown/grey colouring. Males, which are smaller and purple, are not as fast or powerful. Both genders feature a single large eye centred in the middle of their torso, just above the large gaping mouth that contains several rows of teeth.
Being omnivores, Gnaars will eat a range of items from garbage to rotting corpses, which leads them to develop a foul odour in their mouths. Their mouths are useless as a weapon, unable to bite effectively they rely on their oversized hands as a form of attack.
Gnaars move around similar to apes, using their large upper arms and hands as a second set of legs, giving them a very good speed, even if it appears clumsy. Some species of Gnaars have the ability to retract all their limbs and levitate.
Attacks
Edit
A walking Gnaar's attack consists only of throwing punches at its target. This attack is slow, easy to avoid, and one of the weakest attacks in the game.
A levitating Gnaar's attack consists only of biting, which is functionally identical to the walking Gnaar's punches.
Fighting
Edit
While an individual Gnaar is relatively easy to dispatch, Gnaars often attack in groups.
Serious Sam 1
Edit
In Serious Sam 1, the Gnaar can be easily dispatched with the Military Knife, Chainsaw, and double-barreled shotgun at close range. The male Gnaar can be killed with one shotgun shell, but two shells are required for the female Gnaar.
Care should be taken with levatating Gnaar as they can appear from any direction and attack without warning. You can listen for their telltale grunts and growling.
Serious Sam 3
Edit
In Serious Sam 3: BFE, only the female Gnaar appears, and it can be killed with a Melee Grab when it is not throwing a punch. Sam will grab the Gnaar and rip out its eyeball. The eyeball can then be thrown as a weapon to inflict minor damage. The melee grab requires a couple of seconds, making it impractical for groups.
Against groups, a sledgehammer is a good weapon as it is easy to kill them with these and it's faster than a double shotgun.
With other enemies, they're rather low-priority targets as they don't do much damage and can be dodged fairly easily.
