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.

Analysis

With very low health and a low melee damage, one might think this critter to be harmless. But due to its fast speed and 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.

Otherwise, squirrels offer a tiny amount of food when hunted, equal to that of the rat. They have no particular use as tamed animals, not valuable in meat or food. Even as "bait" animals, rats and hares are better at the task. Hares are faster and just as difficult to tame, while rats are omnivores and easier to tame. Both can be found in all biomes that squirrels reside in.
