The Gold Squirrel is a harmless Critter. It is a rare, golden recolor of an ordinary Squirrel, with a 0.25*1/400 (0.25%) / 0.67*1/150 (0.67%) chance of spawning in place of the ordinary version.

As with all other gold critters, it can be caught with a Bug Net and sold for 10.

It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades.

Trivia

The Bestiary entry for the Gold Squirrel: "Rarely, critters are found coated entirely in gold! Shopkeepers will pay handsomely for these, or you can show them off in cages!"
