A much larger, more [[fun]] version of their [[badger]] relatives, '''giant badgers''' can be a truly fearsome force. They will quickly kill a civilian dwarf, and can even demolish an unprepared military squad. Though they may appear docile at first, do not be fooled. This is a false facade meant to establish trust. They may skip merrily toward your fortress entrance, but as soon as they gain sight of a dwarf they will quickly become enraged and go on a killing spree.

'''Giant badgers''' are [[giant animal]] variants of the common [[badger]], found in a wide variety of [[savage]] [[biome]]s.

Giant badgers are roughly the size of an [[elk]], or 5 times larger than a [[dwarf]], and as such will make quick work of civilians and a poorly trained, poorly equipped militia. Like their common cousins, they also tend to spawn in large clusters of 4-12 individuals, making them exponentially more dangerous if multiple badgers decide to get peeved together close to your dwarves or especially if the local badger population is [[Creatures#Agitation|agitated]].

A huge monster the shape of a badger. It is ferocious in combat.

Giant badgers are giant animal variants of the common badger, found in a wide variety of savage biomes. Like the regular badger, these animals are prone to rage and may randomly flip out in a berserk fury, very much badgering anything unfortunate enough to cross their path. Giant badgers are roughly the size of an elk, or 5 times larger than a dwarf, and as such will make quick work of civilians and a poorly trained, poorly equipped militia. Like their common cousins, they also tend to spawn in large clusters of 4-12 individuals, making them exponentially more dangerous if multiple badgers decide to get peeved together close to your dwarves or especially if the local badger population is agitated.

Giant badgers can be captured in cage traps and trained into exotic pets, possessing the default giant animal value. Their large size translates into a good amount of products if they are butchered, and you may also be inclined to use these huge, angry mustelids in your fortress defense. Like all giant animals, they are considered exotic mounts.

Some dwarves like giant badgers for their underground communities and their striped faces.

Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Giant badgers used to be the king of beasts of 0.31.25 due to appearing frequently in temperate biomes and ripping apart young fortresses mercilessly. Now they are noticeably less common.

Giant badgers spawn in small groups of 4-12 individuals, apparently harmless - but this is merely a facade. As fury takes them, they will fall unto your fortress in a fury of claws and teeth.

Be warned. They are still here. Lurking.

Humans and their effective mounts.
