The giant badger is a monster added in SLASH'EM.

Description

Giant badgers are similar to the rothes with which they share a glyph. They have the same base level, but are faster and better-armored while doing considerably less damage in melee.

Generation

Giant badgers can be randomly generated in the dungeon, but far less frequently than rothes. Unlike rothes, they are not generated in groups.

Strategy

Overall, giant badgers are somewhat less dangerous than rothes, as their attacks do roughly half as much damage. However, unlike with rothes, unhasted players cannot simply walk away from them. Even so, they remain fairly unthreatening
