Giant Badger
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 fiercely 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.

Trained Diggers
Kobolds and others who dwell in underground warrens know the value of having a few trained giant badgers in their lair, since they can excavate new tunnels and chambers with ease when their digging habits are directed. Of course, the fact that giant badgers find kobolds and others who dwell underground delicious means that relying on such trained diggers can be a risky endeavor. A giant badger trained for use as a digger or guardian tends to obey the commands of only one master, and even then, they can be prone to unpredictable outbursts for no reason other than pique.All Monsters in "Badger"
