One of the first Pokégirls that evolved from a Mynx, the Bawdger was used to create tunnels into human encampments, or to create giant pits to trap unsuspecting human soldiers, the Bawdger has a reputation as being a fierce, swift, and powerful attacker.
Fortunately, that's not truly the case. Sukebe's mental programming either broke down over the intervening centuries between the Revenge War and modern day, or perhaps they were driven by fear of being killed if they didn't do as ordered, but these days the Bawdger (even when feral) is timid and tries to avoid situations where they need to fight. Short for an evolved Pokégirl at just over five feet tall, these Pokégirls look a lot like they did as a Mynx. Sleek, short fur that hugs her body and with claws that allow the Bawdger to dig with amazing speed. The fur is commonly thick and is normally a silvery-gray coloration, although brown and black have also been found, and seems to vary with the environment that the Pokégirl is found in. Thresholds into Bawdger seem to occur somewhat commonly in places that are close to mountains or hilly areas, although they are much rarer anyplace else.
These Pokégirls, despite their strength, are rather gentle during a taming, and rarely if ever allow themselves to be tamed in any position other than from behind, to keep themselves from harming their tamer. This makes taming between a female tamer and a Bawdger a little more difficult, but certainly not impossible. Their fur is coarse, likely due to their elemental typing, and just doesn't feel as nice in general as it was when she was a Mynx. In battle, they can be ferocious when enraged, using Mega Punches and Kicks when close in. When at range, the Bawdger prefers to Dig or use her Mud Slap attack instead of trying to attack head on. In sex battles, the Bawdger is no good- a lack of known sexual attacks and a low libido make it difficult for the Bawdger to win one. Often, these Pokégirls are used for excavating and digging out basements for homes, as well as assisting with laying foundations for buildings.
A feral Bawdger's favorite prey are Titmouse- they aren't afraid of the Bawdger like they are with flying-types and feline-types. Others include Pidgy and Hamtits, although the Hamtits are usually favored above all else because they burrow as well and are easier to get to. Domestic Bawdger are much better around their natural prey, fortunately, but Pidgy, Hamtits, and Titmouse are all rather uneasy around them anyway. Feral Bawdger are rarely seen above ground, save when hunting or forced from their underground burrows. A tell tale sign to know when a Badger's burrow is near is when there are at least half a dozen holes that lead underground within a fifty foot radius- most Bawdgers build several exit tunnels, just in case, and many hide them with dead trees, bushes, or rusting pieces of metal from dumps that are remains from before the Revenge War.
