Is the tree something you're still working on, as an animated spawn source? I could imagine a looped animation of squirrels scampering around the tree, and then one popping out every thirty seconds or so, if an area has no squirrels.

That's because there are no squirrel-trees. The tree you see on here is merely something I cobbled up together only as a preview image. I know it's a bit big and I probably didn't need to do anything else besides show one single squirrel, but I wanted to make something a little more... interesting I guess. I wanted to do a little more than just a single boring squirrel and have something a little more fun to look at instead. However, I did think about making a decoration of a tree with squirrels in it and moving around a little beforehand. I might do something like that a little later on, though I might want to use a different tree or at least put some actual leaves and such on this Doom tree. I do like your idea of making it a spawner of sorts in addition to a decoration as well. Not sure if I can make it spawn only if a certain amount of squirrels are within the area though, but I'll tinker around and see about it.

That's all. Nothing explicitly bound as a tree's territory, so to speak. My foresight was purely about maintaining a population of "n" Squirrels like how a Vanilla Pain Elemental maintains a pop of 4 Lost Souls. This idea of squirrels being bound to certain areas gave me the idea of a squirrel escort-mission, though. Well leaves or no leaves, I think the tree looks pretty cool.

I'll mess around with that later on and see what I can do. I'll need to make the trees and animations first of course. The spawning squirrel tree will most likely be a separate submission as a Prop.
