I was watching the Ernest stream and the guys were showing some concept art and there was won of Ernest as a honey badger. I thought it was a cool idea. So gearbox can we get a honey badger character. That would awesome. Please make this happen

If we are petitioning for characters, I say bring on the Sloth

I think that is a given 
How about a Sloth riding a Honey Badger

A sloth character would be amazing!
What role would he play? Tank? dps? support?
I think that kind of character would play out as either a melee tank or dps.
Maybe he was genetically modified or was part of a ancient race of sloths that are actually intelligent and move quickly but broke off and started slowly dumbing down to the sloths we all know and love lol

I was thinking if you went with the honey badger idea you could make him or her feral where they would sooner rip you to shreds with claws then look at you. Kinda like wolverine

I have to support the sloth idea - that’s been my gamertag on xb for a few years now 
And maybe really screw with people by giving it a skill that gives it uber movement speed lol

A humanoid honey badger wearing something akin to a trench coat and armor. Wears a set of knuckles with spikes on them. He’s big, fast, strong and hits like a freight train. Tons of health and tons of damage resistance. Abilities are a dash/pounce to get him in close and then an ability that is all about health regen stacked with life drain. His ultimate is a berserker rage that amps his damage and his damage resistance (and perhaps even his attack speed). Just throwing this out there. I could probably do better if I sat down and took the time to really think it out. I was just trying to think of something that suits the honey badger’s personality.
They should totally have a faction that consists of a honey badger/weasel/sloth/wolverine/otter.
They would be the FERAL faction!

Sir, that would have been so much better than a third bird. Ah, if only.
Good idea but it almost sounds like atticus
Yeah, it was just something I thought up on the spot based on what I know about honey badgers. I could have just ditched the feral melee style and just given him a flamethrower if I wanted to. Yeah, it takes a while to come up with a good character idea. Very few are just thought up on the spot. And even those tend to go through some refinement before going live. At least good character ideas anyway. I look at some comics, games, TV shows and such and wonder if there was any thought or refinement that went into them at all.
I just honey badger because they already have the concept art. The flamethrower isn’t a bad idea they said they wanted all military gun types also if you go with the flamethrower type let’s give it Molotov cocktails for range and AOE
