Squirrel

The squirrel as seen when starting the game.

The Squirrel is an entity that the player pursues for most of the game. It runs away when approached by the player. It can eventually be caught after defeating the Manticore from which the player snatches the Stopwatch.

It is possible to sneak up on the squirrel by moving very slowly and if the squirrel doesn't see you, for which you get an achievement and a nut. Getting five nuts displays a broken message.
