Badgermole

The Badgermoles are a fictional creature in the avatar universe. Badgermales are as you my have guess a cross breed between a badger and a mole. They look like badgers but have the claws of the mole and they are also bind like moles too. Badgermoles were said to be the first earthbinders. Humans studied the way the badgermoles used earthbending and learned to do it themselves. Much in the same way the water benders learned from the moon. (See waterbending for info.)
