Timber the Squirrel
Timber is one of the very first animals you can encounter in the game, located in Emerald Grove. Many payers received a rude awakening when Timber reacted to Tav and the party with hostility, lashing out physically. In response, many individuals opted to click the ‘kick the squirrel’ option, assuming this would scare the pesky little fluffball off. Unfortunately, what many did not expect, was for this to result in you punting poor Timber like a football, turning you into a squirrel murderer.
