'''Honey badgers''' are small [[creature]]s found in a variety of [[biome]]s, from [[tropical]] [[forest]]s to [[desert]]s. Compared to common [[badger]]s, honey badgers are nearly identical in terms of behavior; they are just as prone to rage, randomly attacking other creatures in their vicinity for no reason, including passing [[Dwarf|dwarves]]. They are solitary, unlike the common badger who appears in large clusters, but honey badgers possess the distinction of being [[Steals food|food]] [[Thief|thieves]]. As such, make sure to keep them out of your [[stockpile]]s. They possess noticeable sexual dimorphism, with their males being significantly larger than females, though they're still smaller than normal badgers. A newborn honey badger is called a ''cub''.

'''Honey badgers''' are similar to normal [[badger]]s, but found in [[tropical]] and [[desert]] regions. They can randomly become enraged from time to time. Unlike regular badgers they do not come in groups, and they will attempt to infiltrate your fortress to [[steals food|steal your food]].

Honey badgers can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into cheap exotic [[pet]]s. Being food thieves, a food stockpile surrounded by traps can be used as bait to capture them. They give equivalent returns to a normal badger when [[butcher]]ed, but appear much less often in comparison. An enraged honey badger can serve as a distraction against intruders, but don't expect it to survive a fight against anything bigger than itself.
+
Honey badgers have at least 28 teeth, which can sometimes be knocked out in a single strike.
  
−
Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] honey badgers for their ''fearlessness'' and their ''tenacity''.
+
They have a reputation among players for attacking random dwarves at the most inopportune moments, such as knocking fisherdwarves into rivers or dwarves working at high elevations off mountains, usually leading to their death from drowning or typical falling complications.
