| Approval Level : | Admin; Badgers move frequently and possess large territories, because of this an Administrator must be aware of and approve any appearance by them IC. | |
| Danger Level : | High (All cats are vulnerable); Badgers are deadly hunters who see cats as easy prey. A full patrol would be hard pressed to run one out of the territory, and even harder pressed to kill it. |
