Homebrew Badgerfolk Species Details

Short in Stature

Badgerfolk fur comes in four hues, black, brown, gold, and sometimes even red. They always have white markings in a striped pattern on their fur.

But Even Shorter in Temper

Although they are small, getting on the bad side of a Badgerfolk is a foolish decision. They are a proud and stubborn people. They do not easily forget belittlement, nor will they forgive it.

Each Badgerfolk belong to a clan, and each clan has a set of codes. These codes dictate what each member can and cannot do. Any member that violates their clan's code is exiled.
