First pet, first to level 25. great starter pet as the speed boost does low damage and helps you get a trap off before the other pet attacks.

This was the pet that got me started. I almost chose the Mana Wyrmling, because I love its appearance. I soon learned that a battle pet's appearance doesn't really matter; it's the abilities and stats that really count. Anyway, I've always used Metal Fist/Extra Plating/Wind-Up on this pet at 25.

Known as Species 4401 as this is the designated ID of the planet "Mechanical Squirrel Box" which this nut eater originally claimed home to. Located in the Delta Quadrant, this species was valued by the Borg for their maneuverability and are now used for infiltration missions.

Battle Info says that he's only an uncommon, and that might be true but don't let that deter you--This little guy has saved my battles on more than one occasion with great defense and the Repair ability. 5/5

Don`t let his cute looks fool you, the little fellow packs a MEAN punch with the wind-up ability.

When underwater he makes a foam behind himself as he travels caused by him beating his tail.

Base mats are:

2 Malachite

5 Copper Bar

2 Linen Cloth

Notice how you need 2 Malachite (green gems) to make this squirrel, and that the squirrel has two green eyes.

Something fun to do with this pet. Sit in a city near a squirrel that gets killed often (the floating sculpture in Dalaran, for example) and have this macro ready for the inevitable fuzzy death:

/s We can rebuild Squirrel. We have the technology. We can make him better, stronger, faster.

A mechanical squirrel's logic center tells it to collect and store both nuts and bolts for the winter.
