Badger

Badgers are large animals that mainly feed at night. They feed mainly on insects and roots, but when they are scarce, it will resort to attempting to kill a cat for prey. Badgers live in holes in the ground called "sets". There are many abandoned badger sets scattered throughout the Clan territories, though a majority of them are in WindClan territory.

Forest of Secrets

 * In Forest of Secrets, Cloudkit is almost trampled by a badger. Fireheart and Brackenfur manage to drive it off, but Brackenpaw's shoulder is injured by the badger's blunt claws.

Firestar's Quest

 * In Firestar's Quest, Willowpelt is crushed by a badger at Snakerocks when it attacks her son, Sootpaw. The badger reared up, attempting to crush the young apprentice, but Willowpelt shoved Sootpaw out of the way, sacrificing herself.

Midnight

 * In Midnight, the six questing cats, Brambleclaw, Squirrelpaw, Feathertail, Stormfur, Tawnypelt, and Crowfeather meet Midnight, a badger who, unlike most of her kin, is friendly towards cats, and can speak their language, along with fox and rabbit. Midnight is also able to talk with StarClan, like a medicine cat. Midnight tells the cats that their home, the forest, is going to be destroyed by Twolegs, and that they must convince the other Clans to travel into the unknown to find a new home.

Twilight

 * Blackclaw and Hawkfrost of RiverClan drive a badger out of their territory. Squirrelflight, Brambleclaw, and other cats drive another badger out of ThunderClan territory. An army of badgers attack ThunderClan in revenge, killing Cinderpelt and Sootfur, and injuring many others. Midnight also briefly appears in this book, at the end of the attack, along with WindClan reinforcements and when she mentions her kin planning to attack to Crowfeather and Leafpool.

The Sight

 * During the Daylight Gathering, Breezepaw and Lionpaw both fall in a collapsed badger set, and are almost buried alive.
