 Giant badgers will often carry their kills back to their primary den, where the carcass is shared among family members. Their tunnels are expansive and labyrinthine, often containing multiple chambers for sleeping, feeding and storing remains. Some believe that particularly large dens have been occupied for generations, passed down from one brood to the next.

 '''Badgers''' have short, wide bodies with powerful limbs adapted for digging. They are common throughout the woodlands of Europe and extend across temperate and subarctic regions, including coolies and riverbanks throughout the Russian steppe. Their range also includes parts of China, Mongolia and Turkestan, where prairie and mixed forest occur, though they do not inhabit areas of sparse grass or true desert.
 __TOC__
 Though small in stature, badgers are capable of rapid, aggressive attacks, striking with surprising speed despite their relatively few [[Hit Points|hit points]]. When defending their burrows and young, they fight with fierce determination, gaining a +2 [[Roll to Hit|to hit]] bonus when cornered underground. They display little fear of humans and are often found roaming through villages, rooting through refuse piles or exploring gardens and orchards within [[Town Wall|settlement walls]].

+Badgers are hunted and trapped commercially for their pelts, though their fur is considered coarse and of lesser quality than that of more prized animals. It is primarily used for trimming garments, hat linings and specialty brushes rather than for fine clothing.
