Description
The violent, territorial giant badger is a relentless predator. An obligate carnivore, it can consume prey that ranges from rabbits to deer, livestock, and even the occasional adventurer. A giant badger's claws are sharp and strong enough to carve tunnels from solid rock. They typically stand 4 feet tall at the shoulder and weigh 500 pounds.
Giant badgers are fercely territorial and are known to defend their burrows with fury, even if a creature isn't necessarily threatening. These burrows tend to be larger than a giant badger typically needs, which sometimes draws the attention of other creatures seeking homes. This leads to many encounters between giant badgers and larger animals such as bears.
