Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Blood Axe and W. McAusland These agile tree rodents are excellent climbers and do so at their normal speed (add 1d3+2 points to their climbing skill) and are quite alert (+3 initiative). Their fur helps protect them from the elements so they can withstand cold weather twice as well as a human. They prefer fruit, nuts, seeds and berries, but are omnivores and will eat meat in a pinch — although few people realize this. They are welcome in most trading settlements as normal squirrels are recognized as friendly furry critters that were fed peanuts in public parks in better times, although in the Epochian era there are strains of dangerous or predatory squirrels such as the whiptail, carnivorous and freakish variants (all described on pages 113 and 114 of the Mutant Bestiary One book). Only people familiar with these other strains might be especially frightened by meeting a child sized squirrel in their community. Other people, as well as bestial human predators, hunt and eat normal squirrels and tend to see bestial human squirrels as food, a fact that these furry, bushy tailed humanoids are quite aware.
