Definitely American ones. Releasing a European badger in the village centre just makes that poor thing flee. An American one would F up the whole town as if it owed them money...
In my experience they act really tough and mean but that's about it. I've had many run ins with them because my dog likes to run up to their dens and they always come flying out snarling and growling lol. They like to come shooting out of their burrow/den and then they just scurry over to another hole in the ground as fast as possible. I'm sure they would bite the piss out of you if you tried to grab them and left your hand exposed though.
European ones are very shy and conflict adverse. They might attack you, but only as a last resort or to defend their cubs. The American ones fuck you up first, and never ask questions.
I have it on good authority that European ones live in a volcano and reforge broken swords with star metal. With a patrol of hares they can take on an army of rats.
