Badger

Dug in under the verge, and has seen off more than one roadwarden.

Combat 2, found in Ashfell Road. Pays 4 combat xp, which never decays and never scales with your combat level.

Fights as melee, so it attacks your armour's style and defends against your weapon's. A magic weapon lands against it as though its armour were 12% thinner; a ranged weapon as though it were that much thicker. Wearing magic armour does the same to its swings at you.

A monster is written down the same way you are: a combat level, and what its equipment would be worth. Accuracy is rolled against your armour, damage is a roll from 1 to a maximum, and armour never reduces a hit that lands — it makes the hit less likely. The better-armed side strikes first.

What it drops

One roll per kill from the table below. Coins and its trophy roll separately, so a kill can yield all three.

Rolled on its own, alongside anything above:

Nothing in the game wants it — no recipe, no enchant, nothing to wear. It is worth 9 coins at any vendor, and that is the whole of what it is for.
