Gem Squirrels are harmless critters that only spawn in the cavern layer, and have a higher spawn chance during rains.[1]

Gem Squirrels have only 5 health and no defense, and can be damaged by other enemies and players.

Gem Squirrels can be caught with any Bug Net to be carried around in the inventory and released later, or crafted into animated decorative furniture (Gem Squirrel Cages). Once crafted, the Gem Squirrels cannot be released again, unless the furniture item is de-crafted via Shimmer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).

Tips

Trivia
