Homebrew Badgen (Badger Folk) Species Details

With roots in the Feywild, early Badgen prefer to reside underground in many roomed natural dwellings called Setts. Most Badgen tend to live semi-nomadic and migratory lifestyles, not staying in one place for too long. Due to this wandering nature in recent years they have returned to the Material Plane, to spread throughout the multiverse.

They are covered in coarse hair, with a slightly wedge-shaped face and pointed teeth. They have strong builds and their coarse hair ranges in color from brown to black and slowly it will shift to gray with age. Many Badgen have been known to dye the white of their furs a multitude of colors and patterns much like tattooing.
