Animal · 1 hex · SM +0 Giant Badger [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: mundane land animals; answers Giant Badger (SRD 5.1)]
Low, wide and built entirely out of bad attitude, with digging claws that go through packed earth and do the same to a boot. It would rather be underground than anywhere else, and a party that opens up its sett gets everything the badger has, immediately and without a warning growl.

Notes
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/giant-badger.gct
- Independent build total: -32 points of racial traits plus 4 points of racial skills.
- Answers the SRD heading(s): Giant Badger (SRD 5.1). Only the creature identity is taken from the SRD; the GURPS statistics, ratings and prose are this project's own work and reproduce no SRD text.
- Typical Stats, damage and ratings are derived from the racial template, not authored beside it, so the sheet and the stat block cannot disagree.
- Movement: ground Move 6 (primary). The published Move folds this creature's Enhanced Move into a single figure.
- Treasure and grappling are not authored for this batch and ship as explicit nulls; `lair` carries a short habitat note, because where a wandering animal dens is an encounter fact rather than a loot one.

- Description
- Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0
- Independently authored GURPS build. The SRD supplies the creature identity this record answers to and nothing else: no SRD statistics, wording or presentation is reproduced, and no third-party GURPS conversion was used as an input.
- Answers the SRD heading(s): Giant Badger (SRD 5.1).
- Racial template: -32 points across 23 traits, plus 1 racial skill(s) worth 4 points.
- Every trait is drawn from the project's controlled GURPS vocabulary in scripts/srd/trait-library.mjs, which carries the page reference and published cost for each entry.
- sourceSystem is recorded as doa_fixture because that is the package contract's value for project-authored material; the SRD headings this record answers are in provenance.coversSourceIdentities.
- Ratings are recomputed through the consumer CER path on every build, so a mechanics change cannot leave a stale rating behind.
