Squirrel — v0.1

seed seed revision

A fenced-off speculative animal with no mechanic, role, or design attached yet.

Legend

The squirrel closes out charter §8's fenced animal list — possum, dog, goose, groundhog, squirrel — with no mechanic, no role, deliberately unbuilt.

Suburb

A squirrel, up a tree before anyone can get a good look.

Current draft

A fenced-off speculative animal with no mechanic, role, or design attached yet.

Why this possibility exists

Charter §8 names the squirrel with no further description, closing the animal list. Its real-world evasiveness is the only design hook, and nothing in the source resolves whether that translates into gameplay.

Still unresolved

  • Any mechanic at all — none is named for the squirrel specifically.
  • Whether it's playable, ambient, or entirely absent from actual builds.
  • Whether it interacts with terrain (trees, fences) differently than ground animals.
