Skunk

The Skunk is a mammal species featured in Grand Theft Auto VI's recreation of the state of Leonida. The in-game animal is modelled on the real-world Mephitis mephitis.

In game, the Skunk is typically encountered in forest environments, fitting the species' real-world range across South Florida.

The Skunk surfaced in the September 2022 GTA VI development leak. While not officially confirmed by Rockstar, leaked species have historically had a strong correlation with final-game content.

The Skunk was spotted in source materials from the 2022 development leak. No trailer appearance has been publicly catalogued yet.

Real-world basis according to community analysis: Mephitis mephitis.

From domestic pets to apex predators, mammals anchor much of the wildlife players interact with. The Skunk fits naturally into Leonida's ecosystem.
