This adorable yet sharp-toothed rodent will stop short of nothing to find a nut.

The Nutkin (ナッツイーター, Nattsuītā?, lit. Nuts Eater), also known as the Nut Eater, is a recurring creature in the Final Fantasy series. This nut-craving critter made its debut in Final Fantasy V.

In some games, there is a piece of equipment called the Nutkin Suit that is based and named after this enemy, though the enemy itself does not appear in the game that the suit appears in.
