Scroll. Guess what is #1?

The Dwarf Bane. The Land Carp.

The Badger.


Look at that! Jesus, no wonder my dwarves all run away while my hunter gets turned inside out when I try to embark on a savage region with badgers!

They go for the testicles first forchristsake!


Post about other Dwarf Dangers in real life, or about this one. I want to see more of that stuff and shake my head and wonder how that cheese maker managed to kill that badgerman. (Oh right, by punching his tongue through his spinal cord)

There's been a huge dead badger rotting on the road outside my house for the last two weeks.

Seriously. It's starting to smell.

We don't have honeybadgers nearby but we do have normal badgers within a couple of minutes on foot. I see them all the time.

The British army was accused of releasing a plague of "man-eating, bear-like beasts" in Iraq but it turned out they were just indigenous honeybadgers.

Surprised there's no mention of #5 (Pen-Tailed Tree Shrew) being an obvious dwarf/elf hybrid, being that it lLives in trees, and loves booze.

You haven't seen dwarf fortress combat until you've seen a badgerman take on a pack of wild badgers.
Truly, I was leading said badger myself, it was bloody and glorious.
It started with a cmbat log paged filled with enrage messages, and eded with the badgerman biting through the last of the wild buggers' skull.

Those brave creatures have earned nothing but my respect, dwarf fortress or real life.
