A dangerous, aggressive mutated wildlife, that is not to be taken for granted. These omnivorous menaces are almost always encountered alone, as they are too territorial to abide another dire squirrel within their territory. (Aside from mating seasons.)
The dire squirrels originated from Darwin though it was never specifically mentioned as to how they developed into this stage. Several of the dire squirrels found within RP are taken over by Wizards or Admins. It is not possible to embody or play as a dire squirrel in any other way.
Most of the squirrels found within roleplay are known to have developed a minor form of sub-consciousness, allowing them to display heightened intelligences. The squirrels have managed to develop a form of speech or experimented with human technology - thus allowing them to show up and harass players for cigarettes or alcohol. Their behavior is portrayed as child-like and primitive - compared to the more complex motives of human logic.
Description
A quivering little ball of hate wrapped in long, silky soft rust-colored furwith black stripes, the dire squirrel was long thought to be just a rumor, apost-apocalyptic cryptozoological myth. Lately, however, these bobcat-sizedbeasts have been cropping up with increasing frequency, for some reason, thusproving their existence. The fact that these little monsters weigh in at thirtypounds or more of overmuscled fury, and sport long, vicious claws and oversized,razor-edged rodent teeth, they've also proven how lethal they can be.
Well.. how lethal for a squirrel.
