== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Kodomo no Omocha|Kodocha]]''{{'}}s Maro-chan, though he's irregularly referred to as a chipmunk in some English versions. Slightly inverted because he himself is pretty tame; the zany aspect is that he lives in the ever-stranger headdresses Sana's mother comes up with. While she's wearing them.
** In the manga, the writer discusses her pet squirrel and how he's the exact opposite of Maro-chan.
* In ''Mobile Police [[Patlabor]]'', Episode 4 'Journey to Demon Mountain' pits the Patlabour Team and their [[Humongous Mecha]] against a [[Kaiju]] created by a shady medical lab hidden in the forest. The huge creature is tremendously agile, and in the very best ''[[Alien]]''-style, never fully seen. At the end, the team is eagerly arguing about whether it was a giant bear, rat, black panda, cat, mole or grendel (whatever that is)... but from the viewer's perspective, it was almost certainly a giant mutant squirrel. And true to type, it did indeed manage to drive both the team's pilots crazy (not a very long drive, granted.)

* The Marvel Universe features [[Squirrel Girl]], a hero who has many powers borrowed from squirrels, as well as the ability to command them to do her bidding. This may seem useless, but [[Lethal Joke Character|she's also one of the few heroes who has racked up wins against some of Marvel's biggest villains]]... including [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Doctor Doom]]. Yes, '''THAT''' [[Big Bad|Doctor Doom]]. No lie.
* One of the [[Green Lantern Corps]] Members was Ch'p, a squirrel-like alien.

== Tabletop Games ==
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' features squirrels on quite a few of their cards. See [http://magiccards.info/query/cards/3409574.html here]{{Dead link}} for examples. You can even make a whole deck revolve around squirrels. A winning movie that's banned in certain tournaments{{Context|What is the move? Which tournaments?}} is where you kill your opponent by having an infinite number of squirrels magically appear out of a tree continuously.
* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' got Ratatosk (flying squirrel people living on [[World Tree|Yggdrasil]] in ''[[Planescape]]''), Kercpa (normal-sized sentient wild squirells, from [[Dragon (magazine)]]) in AD&D era. In 3.5, Monster Manual features carnivorous flying squirrels and "Skiurids"—evil squirrel demons that harvest <s>nuts</s> soul acorns from people.
* ''[[GURPS]]'' had a supplement, 'Illuminati University'. The campus featured squirrels. And vampire squirrels. And mugger squirrels.

* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' got a [[Half-Human Hybrid|squirrel-human]]-{{spoiler|alien-alien}} hybrid girl. Naturally, things got even crazier than they were in short order:

* ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]'' has the North American Grammar Squirrel, who pops up occasionally to correct the characters' grammar.
