[[Summary::Unlike ground squirrels, flying squirrels have two flaps of skin connecting their forearms to their body, which allows them to “fly” from tree to tree.]]

=== Combat ===

Dire Squirrels & Dire Flying Squirrels can be quite aggressive when found in packs. They will usually avoid combat when alone or threatened by larger predators. Squirrels mostly eat nuts, buds & plant matter - but they can infact consume meat when hungry. When avoiding combat, Flying Squirrels will use their gliding ability to quickly escape enemies.

'''Glide ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):'''  A flying squirrel can glide from any height at a speed of 20 feet per round in [[SRD:Weather#Windy|moderate or lower]] winds, descending at a rate of 10 feet per round.

'''Skills:'''  Dire squirrels have a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Balance Skill|Balance]], [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]], and [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]] checks. A flying squirrel can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened. A flying squirrel uses its [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] modifier instead of its [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] modifier for Climb and Jump checks.
