I agree. I've seen a lot of mmorpgs that do this too. Natural wildlife critters that in reality can be struck down easily. I don't know what compelled SquareEnix to use squirrels or dormice as opponents, but let's also not forget that SquareEnix is still introducing monsters that look absolutely NOTHING like their original mythical appearances.

Perhaps in this crazy messed up world, squirrels are a terrifying creature to do battle with.
