Description
Badgers are squat and broad, muscular, burrowing mammals. Its forelimbs are armed with long iron hard digging claws. An adult badger is between 2 to 3 feet long and weighs 25 to 35 pounds. A badger attacks with the claws on its forelegs and its teeth. A wounded badger flies into a berserk rage on its next round, clawing and biting madly at its opponent until one of them is dead; in this state it gains +2 on initiative die rolls, but suffers a penalty of -2 to its armor class.
Giant badgers are quite simply gigantic versions of normal badgers, being 5 to 7 feet in length and weighing up to 500 pounds. It also enters the same berserk rage when wounded as its smaller cousins. Giant Badgers are sometimes domesticated by giants, but even a tame one is untrustworthy and may attack its master.
