Appearance

These two are tiny squirrels of differing shades. The paler one wears a black mask echoing its shadow's original owner, plus a purple vest with light blue stripes, bandages on its right arm and left leg, and red buttons stitched into its chest and belly.

The darker squirrel carries a bandage on the upper left of its head and a yellow vest dotted with blue beneath another wrap around its chest, with further bandages binding its upper arms, lower tail, and left leg.

Personality

The pair swaggered with confidence when they took on Nami, though they folded quickly. That bravado most likely bled in from the shadows of their human namesakes. How they behaved in life is unknown, but they were presumably ordinary squirrels.

History

They were seen wielding an axe and a saw, with no clear sign of how skilled they were, yet despite their small size they hauled three coffins holding Chopper, Usopp, and Nami with apparent ease. Gecko Moria had drawn the shadows of the two Rolling Pirates called the Risky Brothers and used them to reanimate the corpses of two squirrels. Under Perona's command they bore the coffin carrying Usopp, Nami, and Chopper, but when they stumbled and dropped it, Chopper woke and punched them aside, sending the squirrels scurrying for backup. Later, finding the treasure room cleaned out, Nami shocked them into confessing where the loot had gone. When Moria eventually pulled the animating shadows from them, they reverted to stitched-up squirrel corpses.
