Squealer (スクィーラ Sukwīra), also known as Yakomaru (野狐丸 Yakomaru) is a Monster Rat. He is a member of the Robber Fly colony, and later becomes their commander.

Biography

At the start, Squealer is a lowly member of the Robber Fly colony who once offered help to Saki and Satoru. He eventually attains knowledge and gains political clout to become the supreme commander of the Robber Fly colony bestowed with a new name "Yakomaru," though he personally prefers his less dignified name "Squealer," while exhibiting a Machiavellian nature. Despite being a weak and small colony initially, the Robber Fly colony has grown to rival that of the Giant Hornets' after the second timeskip. He appears to be faithful to the humans in the beginning but it is revealed later that he had plans to wipe out the human population to liberate the Monster Rats. His grand mission is thwarted by Saki and is sentenced to 'Eternal Hell', a punishment worse than death. Saki eventually and secretly gives him a merciful death in the end.

Quotes

Yakomaru: "We swear absolute loyalty to the colony and the queen. But we are not tools to be discarded. We are second in intelligence only to the gods of this planet, and are unlike other social animals such as ants or bees. And so, based on this belief, all who worried for the future of our colony gathered of their own volition and formed a union."

Satoru: "An union?"

Quotes about Squealer:

• "I can’t remember feeling this much hatred for anything since that fiend, K. These despicable queerats, especially Yakomaru, are going to pay for what they've done. I vow to subject him to agony no living being has ever suffered as he dies a slow, protracted death." - Tomiko Asahina about Yakomaru (Part V: Chapter 03)
