The badger is a furry animal with a squat, powerful body. Its strong forelimbs are armed with long claws for digging. An adult badger is 2 to 3 feet long and weighs 25 to 35 pounds.
Badgers attack with their sharp claws and teeth.
A badger that takes damage in combat flies into a berserk rage on its next turn, clawing and biting madly until either it or its opponent is dead. It gains +4 to Strength, +4 to Constitution, and -2 to Armor Class. The creature cannot end its rage voluntarily.
A badger has a +4 racial bonus on Escape Artist checks.
These celestial creatures are commonly summoned by the summon monster I spell.
Once per day a celestial badger can make a normal melee attack to deal 1 point of extra damage against an evil foe.
