[edit] Overview
These stationary demon creatures are obstacles in War's path, often times preventing him from reaching certain platforms or crossing certain gaps. If War walks beneath the goremaw, it will quickly reach downward, snagging War out from the ground. War must avoid the area directly beneath the goremaw, otherwise he'll be sucked in.
[edit] Darksiders
Goremaws are first encountered during the Twilight Cathedral. If he is caught in one of them, he can escape by pressing a certain button, otherwise he will take considerable damage. War can toss a spiked bomb at a goremaw to temporarily stun it, but there aren't always spiked bombs where there are goremaw. After War acquires the dungeon item, the Crossblade, he can toss it at the goremaw, temporarily stunning them in the process, along allowing him to cross beneath. There are many timing based puzzles that use this mechanic, where War must stun a goremaw and quickly run across the area. In some cases there are multiple goremaws next to one another.
War can often used goremaws to his advantage in reaching certain areas or platforms. A goremaw will grab whatever is below its location, including large objects such as boxes. War can push a large object underneath the goremaw and it will snag it, allowing War to successfully cross underneath.
In some cases he can push a large object underneath a goremaw so that it grabs it. Afterwards War can use the Crossblade to stun the goremaw, dropping the box below. War can then grab onto the box and once the goremaw regains its senses, it will grab the box once again. Still attached to the box, War can jump from this higher location to reach further platforms.
[edit] Appearance
The goremaws resemble a mouth with four tentacle like mandibules covered on the inside with teeth. Around their base, there are several shield like shells, which are used for protection.
