"...an animal that is often underestimated, because it lives quietly until attacked, but which, when provoked, can fight off animals much larger than itself, including wolves."
— Hufflepuff Prefect Gabriel Truman on his house mascot.[src]

A badger is a carnivorous mammal of the Mustelidae family, distinguishable by the white stripe that runs down its snout.[1] It is the mascot of Hufflepuff House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Uric the Oddball once turned up for a presentation before the Wizards' Council wearing nothing but a toupee that turned out to be a dead badger, after listening to a Fwooper's song continuously for three months.

There is a spell that can transfigure a cauldron into a badger.
