Consider the Scrat. Acorn-addict. So named on account of being a squirrel-rat mashup. He’s the quintessence of bug-eyed, paroxysmal, ultra-Type A, scuttling-squeaking-digging-snuffling-gnawing-scratching-flailing-shrieking, tunnel-visioned, mega-obsessive rodent hysteria. Has any creature ever portrayed such all-consuming addiction more purely?

That's one small step for Scrat… (as voiced by Chris Wedge). (Blue Sky Studios/Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation).
