Environments
Control Panel.

The Badger Defender randomly faces one enemy. Any enemies behind it can make a DC 14 Perception check (Dwarves have advantage) to notice its control panel. A DC 17 Sleight of Hand, Thieves Tools, or Artisans Tools (or equivalent) can open the panel. Any other skill or no tools gives disadvantage. Another DC 17 check of the same type can power down the Badger Defender.
Defensive Zone.

The Badger Defender can make an opportunity attack when a creature enters its range.

Actions

Multiattack. The armor makes two melee attacks.
Greataxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (1d12 + 4) slashing damage.
Whirlwind (Recharge 5–6).

The Badger Defender attacks with its axes in a surprisingly agile way. Every creature within 10 feet takes 13 (2d12) damage or half damage on a DC 15 Dexterity save.

Reactions

Parry. Dwarven Animated Armor increases its AC by 3 against one melee attack that would hit it.

Animated Objects

Through the use of powerful magic, otherwise mundane objects, such as a broomstick, kettle, rug, or even a weapon or suit of armor, can be turned into a kind of primitive creature. An animated object is able to move, perceive, and even attack.

Badger Defender

A large mechanical beast that resembles a badger hulks in front of you. It has four imposing metal arms, two of which are holding greataxes.

The Badger Defender was used in Dwarven Throgs as defense against the many enemies of the Dwarves. They are made from a combined magical and mechanical means.
