Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind Wiki

Fox-squirrels, also known as Squirrel-foxes in the manga, are small, catlike animals [1], generally found wild and considered impossible to domesticate.

Teto is a fox-squirrel, rescued by yupa from the toxic jungle, and the reason he got chased by the ohmu at the beginning of the story.

These creatures also make a brief cameo appearance in Laputa: Castle in the Sky.

In the anime, Yupa mentions that Teto didn't inhale too much of the Toxic Jungle's spores, which indicates that fox-squirrels are not native to the jungle and cannot stay there for too long, similar to humans.
