Bradley Badger is a plump and wealthy badger living in a nice estate with his chubby young son, Benjamin Badger. Bradley is a stern and strict man of high standards and even high expectations for everyone around him, his expression usually ranging from irritation to indifference, while his son is more playful and innocent as any boy his age should be, though he's always tries to be on his very best behavior around his father, especially in public or whenever they have company.

Bradley also has a secret, shrinking down anyone who displeases him, be they servants or strangers. Sometimes he'll keep them for his own use and pleasure, other times he'll simply leave them to their fate or give them to someone else to do with as they pleas, including his young son who loves playing with his pets and toys, not really understanding that they're people and terrified of him.
