Physically, they are relatively short, only rarely reaching 5 feet in height. However, they compensate by being the largest of all mustelids and having a stocky and sturdy body. The badger's color is very characteristic and easily recognizable: the back is silvery-gray, the belly is brown, while the throat, neck, chest, and legs are black. The two bands that start from the upper lip, pass through the eyes, and reach the ears form their characteristic and unmistakable mask.

The Badger people have always been extremely touchy, featured by pride and susceptibility, and are often seen as grumblers who don't like anything. However, they've always been considered also a mighty people and an honest ally. Before their submission to the Wolves' kingdom, which will force the Badger people to long and grueling periods of siege within the mountains, they ruled themselves through a king for each city. One of these kings, in rotation, assumed the title of Great King and the responsibility of administering the general rules shared with all other cities. This multi-monarchical system is very similar to that used by Wolves, and that will led to an easy integration of Badgers into the new kingdom.

Despite being a race of anthropomorphic carnivores, they are often defined, jokingly but rightfully, as "the least carnivorous among carnivores." Their diet is, in fact, very variable and opportunistic, including both vegetables and animals. Throughout their history, they have developed excellent insect breeding and good cultivation skills, both underground and on the ground. Although they're also good at breeding larger animals, such as goats and cattle, not to mention their hunting skills, they're very infrequently used to these, being not particularly fond of having to go out on the surface. Instead, their best skills developed in rock carving, mineralogy, goldsmithing, and metalworking. Moreover, they possess a fine literary art, especially regarding adventure novels and operatic tragedy.
Most of their cities are made up of large settlements carved into the rock of high mountains, some of which vaguely assume the appearance of intricate tunnels, which can extend for many miles. Inside these "galleries", houses, buildings, and constructions of all kinds are obtained by digging the rock walls, then embellished with carvings, sculptures, and engravings of incredible refinement.
