Character idea: world's most fearless animal

I don't care what the game mechanics are, but this creature is so awesome it deserves it's own game:

Heh, they already have their own song: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/badgers/

Speaking of interesting animals, do you know the naked mole rats? They are mammals but form colonies like ants or bees, with a queen, soldiers and workers. They also seem to feel no pain, can't get cancer and can live almost 20 years AND they are very ugly. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcvLYx8YDjY

I think this environment and those creatures deserve a game ;)

Edit: watch completely, the ones later are the coolest!

Edit2: boy that reminds me of this awesome submarine game, waaaay back:

Deep-sea creatures are nice. :)

I got another "cute" creature for you. Take a look at this CD cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0htZ7ocC ... re=related (Lard is one of my favourite bands btw)

That's a lamprey.

Badger != Honey Badger

You guys are also just posting pictures of silly / unusual creatures just for jokes. I was being serious. That's one tough animal in the video I linked. It could be an unlikely hero character for a game.

You might mock it but it was a genuine idea and not POST YOUR FAVOURITE ANIMAL MEME which is what this thread is fast becoming.

Ha! You think only the honey badger deserves a game and other creatures are silly? You're so wrong. Actually I find the badger rather silly: A snake! - Attack! - Bees! - Attack!

IMHO the naked mole rats are far more interesting. They would be perfect for a Dwarf Fortress like game. :D

How about a OpenDungeons total conversion? Instead of playing the evil overlord, you get to be in charge of a giant naked mole rats colony and plot to take over the world!

@Charlie make a honey badger character for super tux kart :p

It's toughness seems somewhat wasted on a kart racing game. Also I can't blend.
