These creatures are unafraid of attacking creatures larger than they are, drawing upon an almost legendary tenacity that has won them honor and respect among many races, particularly forest-dwelling gnomes.\r\n\r\nDire badgers reside in deep burrows and warrens dug with their monstrous claws\u2014but unlike typical badgers, a dire badger\u2019s claws are capable of tunneling through solid rock. Dire badgers possess little patience for disturbances or interruptions. Utterly fearless creatures, when confronted they attack brutally, and if injured, they violently erupt into a killing frenzy.\r\n\r\nDire badgers stand 4 feet tall at the shoulder, and weigh 500 pounds.","tags":"Dire Badger, Pathfinder 1e, CR 2, True Neutral, Medium, Animal","templateId":"1198","blockId":"376846","isShared":"on"}
