Scrat is a squirrel who is totally obsessed with acorns, however he never manages to achieve one and instead causes himself massive physical pain. Scrat is also responsible for several important occurrences in the Paleolithic ice age such as Pangea and the formation of Death Valley. Scrat's uncontrollable desire for acorns has proven to be very self-destructive, and to everyone around him, even destroying an entire civilization of Scratlantis.
Appearance[]
Scrat is a saber-tooth squirrel with a gray bushy tail, pink thumbs and toes, sharp teeth, short furry ears, and a gray torso.
Movies[]
Ice Age[]
Scrat attempts to find a place to store his acorn for the winter. Eventually, as he tries to stomp it into the ground, he inadvertently causes a large crack to form in the ice that extends for miles before setting off a large avalanche which nearly crushes him. He barely escapes but finds himself getting stepped on by a herd of prehistoric animals migrating south in order to escape the forthcoming ice age.
20,000 years later, Scrat, frozen in a block of ice, ends up on the shores of a tropical island. As the ice slowly melts, an acorn that was also frozen in the same ice block is washed away, to his horror. Scrat then finds a coconut and tries stomp it into the ground, only to mistakenly trigger a volcanic eruption.
Ice Age: The Meltdown[]
Scrat climbs up the glacier and at the top sticks the acorn he has into the ice. This forms a crack in the glacier, which widens into a fissure, diverting the flood and saving the animals in the valley; Scrat is then washed away.
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs[]
He has been fighting with Scratte for the acorn.
Ice Age: Continental Drift[]
Scrat inadvertently causes the break up of Pangaea, which also costs the animals their home and (with the land bridge destroyed,) travel to the land where Manny, Sid, Diego, and Granny found themselves in when they were separated.
Scrat sees a clam open up revealing Scratte he made a loving look but turned her down and the siren turned into a acorn which grabbed his attention which made him run up to the clam to hug it before the siren changed its form Scrat starts to jump on it a lot of times knocking the siren unconscious. when more sirens come up from the ocean, he saw the unconsious siren, and the other sirens starting hissing at him and take the form of more acorns and gets attacked but he manages to get away.
In the film's epilogue, Scrat discovers the island on the map, known as Scratlantis (a parody of Atlantis), but his uncontrollable urge to hunt acorns in the acorn-rich city inadvertently causes the entire island to sink when he unplugs an acorn drain holder; Scrat is then ejected into a newly created desert landscape, through which he screams.
Ice Age: Collision Course[]
Scrat is once again trying to bury his acorn but accidentally activates an abandoned alien ship that takes him into deep space, where he unwittingly sends several asteroids en route to a collision with Earth including one of them that threatens all life on Earth.
In the film's epilogue, Scrat keeps struggling to control the alien ship until it crashes on Mars, destroying all life on the planet.
In a mid-credits scene, Scrat finds his acorn, but gets beaten by some doors.
Scrat: Spaced Out[]
This mini movie serves as deleted scenes from Ice Age: Collision Course. It starts in the events of the film.
When Scrat is preparing to go back to Earth, he gets captured by slender, tall, anthropomorphic female alien saber-toothed squirrels from a species named Scratazon. The leader of the aliens gets his acorn, but she is surprised by Scrat and ends up dropping it. The leader orders her friends to kill Scrat, but they are unsuccessful. In the scuffle, Scrat drops his acorns and the Scratazons steal it and try to leave.
Scrat sees this and uses a tractor beam to recover his acorn, but the leader of the aliens uses one too. They engage in a tug of war until the nitrogen of the acorn breaks causing the nut to blow up. The explosion destroys the ship and forms a black hole that starts to suck everything in it. Scrat jumps the debris and manages to get his acorn, just to be sucked by the black hole.
However, Scrat gets spit out from the black hole with his acorn and prepares to eat it, unluckily the black hole opens again and sucks his acorn, leaving Scrat to be stranded in space while screaming in frustration.

In this game, Scrat appears as the playable character and protagonist.
Scrat is searching for a new acorn and founds out about the existence of Cristals acorns. He starts to search them and fights with Manny, Sid and Diego's old enemies like Maelstrom and Cretaceous, Carl and Frank and Rudy, he even has to fight a giant pterodactyl. At the end he enters in a temple and gets kidnapped by another space ship which reveals to be commanded by a Scratazon.

Short Films[]
Gone Nutty[]
After the events of the first film Ice Age, he goes to store his acorn in a hollowed-out tree that's filled with nuts. However, the acorn he brought isn't able to fit in the middle of the acorns, much to Scrat's frustration, causing him to stomp on the middle acorn out of anger. However, this causing all the acorns to fall out of a large hole in the tree, creating an avalanche of acorns that send Scrat sliding down the side of a mountain. Thankfully, Scrat was able to collect all the acorns and form them into a giant boulder, which tilts upside down with Scrat on top of it, where he sees the icy ground below, much to his shock as the land hard onto the ground. Scrat then notices one lone acorn left in the atmosphere (presumably the one he was trying to stuff into the tree), slowly falling towards him and tries to free himself, only to be hit by the impact of the acorn, which causes a great big earthquake that shapes the Earth's continents (probably Pangaea) into their present-day form, taking all the other acorns with them and trapping Scrat in the middle of the ocean from the center of the impact. However, Scrat immediately digs out the acorn that hit him, only for it to crumble into ash (having been charred from the impact). He then ends up putting on the remaining acorn cap as a beret in disappointment and defeat.
Ice Age: No Time for Nuts 4-D[]
Following the events of the second film, Ice Age: The Meltdown, Scrat is first seen going after his acorn as it slides away from him. After a brief chase through ice and snow, Scrat is able to reclaim it, only to accidentally stumble across Sid, Diego, and Manny as they walk by (with Sid pondering about space and time, as well him mentioning possibly a planet of Sid's in space, much to Diego's disgust).
Scrat then continues to seek a place to hide his acorn, only to notice an odd light, which reveals itself to be a frozen time machine that belonged to a human time traveler who were tragically encased in ice. Once he digs it up from the snow, the machine activates, stating the date that the Scrat is in is May 26, 20,000 B.C, much to Scrat's confusion. While sniffing around the machine, he accidentally presses a button on it, and the machine powers up and then zaps the acorn, much to his shock. The chaos then ensues as Scrat slowly tries to reclaim his acorn from several time zones, which include the Middle Ages, the 8th century in Ancient Rome, the sinking of the Titanic, presumably the disco period, the creation of the Great Wall of China, and even the Mesozoic era (though he soon later materializes towards an American Museum of Natural History in 2015 A.D).
Eventually, he ends up in the Ice Age again but then encounters his past self, causing the two Scrats (later three in the 4D remake) to fight each other for the acorn. However, the time machine accidentally gets caught in the fight, zapping the acorn out of sight yet again, much to the distress of both past Scrat and future Scrat. Shortly after, future Scrat also gets zapped after past Scrat angrily kicks the machine. Scrat is then sent into many dangerous places where he would have been killed if he had not activated the time machine in time; under a launching Saturn V rocket during the Space Race, in a dark, modern-day jewelry store where he sets the alarms off when he mistakes a diamond for his acorn, in a girl's locker room in the present where he gets hit with a roller brush, a guillotine in the French Revolution, during Benjamin Franklin's kite flying experiment, in the path of a wrecking ball demolishing an old brick building, in front of the Hiroshima bombing, in the path of an oncoming steam locomotive in the Wild West, and in front of the groin of Michelangelo's David (though this does not threaten him, but he is rather embarrassed and confused). Concerned, Scrat punches the machine, which sends him into a strange dimension of various timepieces, where he spots his acorn and grabs it just before being drawn into a wormhole along with his acorn and the time machine.
Scrat awakens in front of an enormous oak tree filled with acorns. Overjoyed at the sight of so many acorns, he tosses away his own acorn, which lands on and almost causes the time machine to fire again, but not before Scrat pulverizes it (finally having enough of what it did previously). Scrat tries to remove the nuts from the tree but is unable to and soon discovers that it is only a monument of some sort, with a commemorative plaque on it reading "Here Stood the Last Oak Tree", meaning Scrat is in the distant future where oak trees, and acorns, are extinct. He soon realizes that the acorn he brought with him is the only real one around and makes a dash for it, but the time machine somehow fires one final time, transporting the acorn right out of his paws right before the time machine collapses into pieces. Stranded in the acorn-less future, Scrat lets out a scream of frustration and despair, ending the film while the forever-lost acorn ends up floating behind the credits.
Epilogue[]
Scrat finds his acorn and hops over to it to shove it into the ground, but then has a second thought and realizes that no one is around to steal it from him, so he eats the acorn instead, leaving only its cap before hopping away.
