Squealer

RAT

This small, often unwelcome creature is known for its long tail and sharp teeth, and might be found scurrying in the shadows or betraying others in stories.

"Squealer" is a playful nod to the sound a rat makes—think of the high-pitched squeak they’re known for. It’s also a slang term for someone who informs on others, which ties into how rats are sometimes seen as sneaky or untrustworthy. The clue leans on both the animal’s noise and its reputation to point straight to "RAT."
