Squirrels

If anyone talks to the squirrels, they shouldn't listen because the squirrels are a bunch of stupid liars.

Bulletin Board message left by Dogen Boole

Squirrels can be found throughout the Psychonauts series. They are skittish animals that pose no threat to the player.

Gameplay[]

Psychonauts[]

Squirrels appear all over Whispering Rock, and pose no threat to Raz unlike the cougars and bears. Dogen Boole is seen conversing with them before Basic Braining and after being re-brained. A squirrel is later found in the GPC and Wilderness hoarding the Golden Acorn, which Raz can steal using invisibility. A squirrel also makes an appearance in the Milkman Conspiracy. The squirrel appears after Raz is pulled underground by the second Nightmare, and its jaw pops open to reveal a camera in its mouth.

Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin[]

A squirrel stows away on the The Pelican in Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin. Raz can use clairvoyance on it to get a better view of the jet interior.

Psychonauts 2[]

Squirrels appear in The Questionable Area in Psychonauts 2.

Trivia[]

  • Using pyrokinesis on the squirrels will burn them into the Squirrel Roast Dinner. This item can be used to restore Raz's mental health and earn the steam achievement: "Holiday Dinner".
  • In Psychonauts, some squirrels have more fuzz than others.
  • Using clairvoyance on the squirrels in Psychonauts shows they see Raz as a bumbling idiot.
  • Adult squirrels will often coat a regular acorn with a mucilaginous secretion that gives it a shiny, "golden" coat. This sparkly trinket is used to attract possible mates.[1]
