It produces venomous toxins to which it displays no ill effects. Perhaps it has a natural resistance to poisons.
Game Instructions: You will gain an amount of Research proportional to how much Kataleptic Toxicology you currently possess. Failure will also cause some Wounds. Neither will remove the squirrel.

Success
Interpreting venom
From your observances […] when eating the food you supply it, compared to the terrible scraps it […] purloins […], diet is key to the nature and strength of its venom. It could be informative to see how it metabolises your […] sample.

|---|---|
| 410, 430 | The squirrel has no qualms about nibbling on the paper infused with light focused through a Parabolan Albatross. […] The difficult part is extracting the venom – it involves electricity and a fine tube. It results in a most disgruntled squirrel. |
| 420 | The squirrel has no qualms about lapping up a drop of blood from the Warbler. Indeed, the rodent takes to it as happily as it did your breakfast tea. The difficult part[…]involves electricity and a fine tube. It results in a most disgruntled squirrel. |
| 440 | The squirrel has no qualms about breathing in what might be stormish air. Indeed, the rodent takes to it as happily as it did your breakfast tea. The difficult part […]involves electricity and a fine tube. It results in a most disgruntled squirrel. |
| 450 | The squirrel has no qualms about nibbling on the Pinewood Shark (it's not as if the shark can complain). Indeed, the rodent takes to it as happily as it did your wardrobe. The difficult part is extracting the venom […] |
| 460 | The squirrel has no qualms about consuming one of the False-Snake's tiny face tentacles – the preservative doesn't put it off. Indeed, the rodent takes to it as happily as it did your wardrobe. The difficult part is extracting the venom […] |
| 465 | The squirrel has no qualms about taking a little nibble on one of the spider's bristly hairs. Indeed, the rodent takes to it as happily as it did your wardrobe. The difficult part is extracting the venom […] It results in a most disgruntled squirrel. |
| 470 | The squirrel has no qualms about licking a dusting of Mr Spices' drug. Indeed, the rodent takes to it as happily as it did your wardrobe. The difficult part is extracting the venom – it involves electricity […] It results in a most disgruntled squirrel. |
| 480, 490 | The squirrel has no qualms about chewing on a flake of egg shell – perhaps it's somehow familiar to the creature. […] The difficult part is extracting the venom – it involves electricity and a fine tube. It results in a most disgruntled squirrel. |
| 485 | The squirrel has no qualms about chewing on a strip of egg membrane – perhaps it's somehow familiar to the creature. […] The difficult part is extracting the venom – it involves electricity and a fine tube. It results in a most disgruntled squirrel. |
| 495 | The squirrel tries to nibble at the diamond, but the rock is, naturally, impervious. You get better results by allowing the beast […] to nip at […] a weasel that died mid-transplant. This gives you, at any rate, a new perspective on what went wrong […] |
| 1350 | The cuirass is far too hard for the squirrel to eat. But the little creature gets attached to the thing, snuggling up against its stark, cold surface. When the cuirass is removed, the squirrel's venom becomes a toxin of harsh, bright longing. |

Failure
It recoils
The Acute Squirrel takes one sniff and turns to fix its beady eyes on you. Its loud chittering makes abundantly clear – it will have no part in any experiment that might involve it eating that. It drives the point home with its teeth, in your thumb.
