So Praetorian Police are called "badgers" by the resistance...ya know, because they have badges
Or are they called badgers because the moment you get to close and look like a suspect, they act with hostile motives.
Badgers, eh? Tell them you're gonna help them farm for the Debt Badge and see if they'll make things easy for ya.
Some other kind of fungus then? They DO proliferate down there in the dark and damp, after-all. 'The Mosses' just doesn't have the same ring, I dont think.

"Love her not, lovely though she be/
Watch warily: there lies/
A glint of ghoulish ancestry/
Deep in her green bright eyes..."
So that begs the question: are the resistance mushrooms? And who are the snakes? I nominate the Ghouls.
