Werebadgers are sturdy lycanthropes that usually live in burrows and caves. As humanoids, werebadgers are stocky and have a streak of silvery-white hair. In their animal and hybrid forms, a werebadger gains sharp claws and teeth, and they typically rely on their claws in battle, as they prefer not to pass on their curse. A family of werebadgers might construct a large burrow under a hill or field. They are usually very secretive but they have been known to form alliances with humanoids like dwarves. Characters as Werebadgers The character gains a Strength of 15 if his or her score isn't already higher. Attack and damage rolls for the natural weapons are based on Strength.
