They are useful because they make canopy movement visible to attentive characters. ===== Myth and Folklore ===== Ratatoskr runs along Yggdrasil carrying words between the eagle above and Níðhöggr below. That makes squirrels excellent symbols of gossip, messages, and trouble made by repeated words. ===== Campaign Use ===== Use squirrels as harmless animals, druidic messengers, fey-touched gossipers, or comic but consequential carriers of overheard secrets. ===== See Also ===== * [[:creatures|Norse Creatures]] ===== Sources ===== * Wildlife of Norway: https://grokipedia.com/page/Wildlife_of_Norway * Ratatoskr: https://grokipedia.com/page/Ratatoskr ===== Game Master Notes ===== DM-only encounter details, stat blocks, and running notes are kept at [[dm:creatures:squirrels|Squirrels (DM)]]. creatures/squirrels.txt Last modified: 2026/07/04 00:38by Seraphina
