Badger

Personality:

Badgers are ornery, grumpy, and highly territorial. They put up with species that don't demand a lot of attention, make a lot of noise, or want any kind words. Badgers are tough and if they decide they like another creature, they will do just about anything to keep that creature safe, sheltered, and fed, if not kindly spoken to.

Physical Description:

Badgers are short and squat, barely reaching more than a foot in height, but tend to be about two or three feet long. They can weigh up to 40 pounds. Badgers come in a range of colors, but the two most distinctive are the black and white striped badgers, with mostly grey fur, but black and white striped head, and the brown honey badgers.

Relations:

Badgers don't really keep families and they don't much care for neighbors either. A badger may keep one close friend its entire life, if that friend is particularly pushy about it (like a dog) or generally aloof and immune to trash talk (like a cat).

Alignment:

Badgers, belligerent and self-serving are always chaotic.

Language:

Badgers get squeakspeak.

They do not get any bonus languages as they do not care to learn them.

Names:

Male names: Kiac, Zeikx, Vanin

Female names: Thih, Ohz, Agis

Adventurers:

If a badger goes adventuring, it is usually because their home has become too loud (too many neighbors) or otherwise unlivable, or they have to find a home of their own after no longer being tolerated by their mothers. Badgers might also be cajoled into adventuring if a creature they have taken a fondness to has decided to go and the badger thinks they might get themselves killed or malnurished.
