Abilities

Ferocity
Badger Rage (concentrate, emotion, mental) — The giant badger enters a state of pure rage that lasts for 1 minute, until there are no enemies it can perceive, or until it falls Unconscious, whichever comes first.

While raging, the giant badger has AC 17, its jaws Strike deals 1d8+8 damage, and its claw Strike deals 1d6+6 damage. While raging, the giant badger also can't use actions that have the concentrate trait except for Seek.

After it has stopped raging, a giant badger can't use Badger Rage again for 1 minute.

WORKS WELL WITH

SnareLAND / SUBTERRANEANA controller that restrains a target lets the raging badger keep landing Strikes without the target disengaging.
SniperLAND / SUBTERRANEANRanged pressure adds damage from a safe distance while the badger's Ferocity keeps it fighting through what would drop a normal creature.
WeaverLAND / SUBTERRANEANDebuffs that lower a target's defenses compound with the badger's Rage-boosted Strikes for a faster kill.
