This vicious killer is the yardstick by which all other insanely angry animals are measured. Badgers normally prefer to live in little burrows known as 'setts', but at the slightest provocation, be it the telly on the fritz or poking him with a stick, and the badger just goes OFF. Stand back sirs. After emerging from their dens, generally found in temperate lowland regions, the badger lays to waste all in its path with a ferocious claw/claw/bite. This little fellow gets so angry even death itself is held at bay- the badger can fight down to -11 hp. Yes, negative ELEVEN. Badgers are part of a larger class of mammals which include berserk skunks and wolverines.
