Badgerfolk are small, furry humanoids that resemble a variety of different badgers.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Badgerfolk are humanoid, bipedal badgers that are slightly shorter than haflings. They have elongated weasel-like heads with small ears, standing on average at 3ft tall, and weighing between 40 to 50lbs. Badgerfolk have rather stout bodies, with short legs, large and well-muscled arms, and fingers ending in hard claws 2 to 3 inches long ideal for burrowing. While most pictures depict them with the same stripes as the common honey badger, this is untrue as their fur and stripes come in a variety of colors that vary by subspecies. Badger-folk constantly emit a musky odor that some find offensive.

Biological Traits

Within the badgerfolk race there exist a variety of subraces, each with a unique appearance and traits.

Grizzlesnouts

The most formidable of the badgerfolk they have black fur with a single white stripe from snout to tail. They tend to also be on the larger end of the spectrum and have slightly larger claws than their cousins. They have a tougher skin and an even tougher constitution with a natural resistance to many poisons.

Bookpaws

These badgerfolk typical fur colors a more varied than their cousins with brown, black, gray, and white being common colors with spots of black or brown on their paws and on their face. They are in the middle of the averages for height and weight. Bookpaws are known for being exceptional burrowers with shorter ears than their cousins.

Quiantails

The iconic badgerfolk that most would interact with they have white fur with spots of black on their paws and on their face. Their size and weight varies the most of the other badgerfolk, but their coloration is the most consistent. Unique to them is they are born with an unusual access to arcane ability not seen in the other subspecies.
