Homebrew Badger Bear Species Details

"Badger hates Society, and invitations, and dinner, and all that sort of thing."

 ---Kenneth Grahame

"I'm a beast, I am, and a Badger what's more. We don't change. We hold on."

—C.S. Lewis

As the Badger Bears dig, stretch and stride throughout the wood they are known either for their perseverance, intimidation, or selfish nature. They hunt without the fear of who their prey is. They dig without the stress of of the Earth around them. These knightly rouges search and succeed and will not accept failure as an answer. They are immeasurable in their fearlessness.

Badger Figure 

They are humanoid figures that can look quite chubby, medium sized, and with loveable dog like snouts. Except within the wilds of their domain they can be one of the most fearsome of creatures. These beasts have razor sharp claws at the end of their fingered maws, and teeth meant to rip and tear all the prey within their way. This creature is covered head to toe with black and white hairs differing between their biomes. Their beady eyes that pear into oblivion strike fear into those who know of their spoils. They are quite known for their die hard instincts, and mischievous techniques. They mostly think of themselves or are highly focused upon the goal they seek to accomplish.

All Badgers have the same traits but they live within different climates giving them different fur coloration, and ways to survive within their biomes 

Chaotic Tribes

The Badger Bears are apart of dysfunctional tribes that base their symbols, and crops off of their nature based name. They use it to give more connection to family lines, and to separate themselves from other tribes. Each tribe has their own derived agenda for the betterment or the worsening of other tribes or people, since they are a vindictive bunch. They usual reside deep within desert areas, underground burrows, or wooded forest areas, and have a wide variety of resilience to survive. They can even survive off of the meat of the most dangerous prey or predators. They will always be fond of the taste of honey.
