Wow, it's interesting to come across another parent with the SAME issue. My daughter absolutely loves squirrel girl (and her supporting cast), but the first appearance of Ratatoskr gave her nightmares.
She continued to read the series and was older about the time the frost giant story/redemption arc came out and she refused to read it even though I promised her I read ahead and that they are a lot less scary. In the finale to the series I had to cover Ratatoskr's face with little scraps of post-its.
She's 11 now and still into Squirrel Girl but still will NOT touch Ratatoskr in re-reads. You should really think about dipping into the children's horror genre.
P.S. Thank you so much for everything you did with Squirrel Girl. It gave her a gateway into the wonderful world of comics and now we have a shared hobby we can bond over
