Badger

Immortal Freedom RPG > Non-player Entities (NPCs) > Animals

Badgers are omnivorous mammals with short, wide bodies, and short legs for digging. They have elongated, weasel-like heads with small ears. Their tails vary in length depending on species. They have black faces with distinctive white markings, grey bodies with a light-coloured stripe from head to tail, and dark legs with light-coloured underbellies.^[1]

Animals do not generally attack unprovoked. They only engage in combat if:

They feel threatened,
They’re defending their young or territory,
They’re desperately hungry,
They’re confused, or,
They’re diseased or in pain.

Most animals avoid conflict, preferring survival to undue violence. Animals only fight to the death if they’re protecting something or they’re cornered. Otherwise, they flee at the first sign of hostility. Predators usually fight until they’re unstable, at which point they retreat.
