Timber

Template:Infobox creatire Timber is a squirrel in Baldur's Gate 3.

Timber patrols the area of the Emerald Grove below the bugbear assassin, at the top of the elevator above the sacred pool. If a character without Speak with Animals active interacts with her, she will immediately bite them (no damage) for trespassing on her territory. Passing two Animal Handling (DC 10) checks or a Barbarian Intimidation check (DC 5) results in a compromise being reached and the character being rewarded with a Hyena Ear.

Alternatively, the character may lethally punt Timber against a tree by passing a Dexterity check (DC: 10).

Spoiler warning! This section reveals interactions with The Dark Urge.

If a character is playing as The Dark Urge, interacting with Timber without Speak with Animals will automatically result in her death. If Speak with Animals is active, choosing the "Last words I won't remember" dialogue option will kill the squirrel without a check. Either way, killing Timber earns the Inspirational Event Indulge Thine Appetites (Haunted One background).
