- "Familiar or not, the snuffle–squirrel is a cute little thing."
- ―Olivia Shipp (from Alien: Echo)
The snuffle–squirrel was a small herbivore native to the planet Zagreus. Similar to the squirrel of Earth, the snuffle–squirrel was ubiquitous throughout Zagreus' biosphere and featured a number of distinguishing traits.
Characteristics[]
The evolutionary equivalent to an Earth squirrel, the snuffle-squirrel was a long-bodied, low-slung creature with four eyes and green fur. It possessed four front-mounted caterpillar legs and four more at its rear, and waving pom-pom-like cilia along the length of its body that enabled it to properly navigate, hunt, climb, and forage. Juveniles were distinguished by a thin tail and spiked fur. The snuffle–squirrel was predated upon by the lion-worm.
