AnimalCommon

Squirrels are one of the smallest and generally mostly harmless animals on rimworlds. Storytellers often make this the target of your first maddened animal encounter, sending it to attack your colonists.

Squirrels can be found in temperate forests, temperate swamps, boreal forests, and cold bogs.

With very low health and a low melee damage, one might think this critter to be harmless but due to its very fast attack rate your colonists may suffer many bleeding wounds very quickly, adding up to a potentially lethal threat. Their small size makes them hard to shoot and a large group of squirrels turned manhunter can be especially dangerous.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
