| ~ Scrat upon finding his Acorn |
Summary[]
Scrat is a saber-toothed squirrel who is obsessed with collecting acorns, constantly putting his life in danger to obtain and defend them. In a special feature in the second film's DVD, his name has been stated to be a mix of the words "squirrel" and "rat", his species allegedly believed to have been a common ancestor of both. In the Ice Age DVD commentary, he is referred to as "The Scrat" by directors Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldanha. He has his own stories in the films which are mostly independent of those of the main characters, though the two do intersect at times. He appears in all four films, as well as his own short films, "Gone Nutty", "No Time For Nuts", "Scrat's Continental Crack-up" and "Cosmic Scrat-tastrophe" and has also made a cameo appearance in Sid's short, "Surviving Sid". Scrat has proven to be enormously successful and has become the breakout character of the series.
While initially created as a fictional species for comedic purposes, in 2011 a mammal quite similar to Scrat was described. The newly described taxon, Cronopio Dentiacutus was not a squirrel, and did not live in the Cenozoic; it belonged to the Dryolestoids, a group of mammals thought to be closely related to Therians, and it lived approximately 100 million years ago in Patagonia. The precedence of the animated character to the discovery of the real animal is an example of what is known as the "Dim Effect". As of the 2013 film Epic, Scrat has gone on to become the official mascot of Blue Sky Studios and is featured on their production logo. Even after the companies closure, he is still well regarded amongst fans, and will occasionally make cameo appearance in other Ice Age films and the like...

Stamina: Superhuman (Can go days without eating or drinking with no issues, can fight other Scrats for days on end, suffering severe injuries along the way with little fatigue. shrugged off being set on fire, long falls, broken bones, and other horrific wounds.

Weaknesses: Scrat is completely obsessed with obtaining acorns, to the point he will make stupid decisions and risk his own life just to get them. Is often greedy, short-sighted, and neurotic.
