Biography
Origin
Gnawgahyde
Devil's Due
Gnawgahyde, Zanzibar and Monkeywrench supervise recruiting Zanya and Kevin Schulte from a fighting ring to Dreadnok training missions. One of the missions involves killing several gang members who will not properly acknowledge they are doing business on Dreadnok territory.
Gnawgahyde is sent with newer Dreadnoks when Tomax and Xamot decide to physically destroy the evidence of a money laundering scheme, which involves a television studio. His team includes the diminutive Rugrat, the female Heart-Wrencher and the Dreadnok mechanic Burn-Out. The last man, eager to break things instead of fix them, starts the action early by interrupting the current program, a cooking show. Coincidentally, this is hosted by G.I. Joe member Roadblock. The soldier and his co-host defeat the Dreadnoks in hand-to-hand combat. The cooking program becomes a rousing success due to the recorded footage
When the second Cobra civil war erupts, the Dreadnoks are recruited to fight with Cobra Commander against 'The Coil', the private army amassed by Serpentor. Gnawgahyde was seen as one of the many Dreadnoks sent to the battle, which takes places on Cobra Island. He is viewing the loading of the Dreadnok transport, the 'Thunder Machine'.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Gnawgahyde was an aggressive hunter, who considers all animals to be lesser life-forms, suitable for skinning, eating, or stuffing.
His pet warthog Clyde, was somehow an exception to this viewpoint.
Gnawgahyde believes in living off the land, and regards the falseness of civilization as a sign of weakness. Therefore, he refuses to use deodorants or cosmetics of any kind, and will not eat processed food, or wear synthetic fibers. This is also due to the belief that such practices would warn the animal kingdom of his murderous presence. Gnawgahyde was chased out of Africa by his fellow poachers for cheating at cards, smelling bad, and being generally obnoxious. He was subsisting on his earnings as a freelance fur stealer, when he was recruited by the Dreadnoks at an all-night donut and grape soda shoppe.
