A case mask with eagle feather ears, a snout with teeth, and badger tracks on cheeks. The case masks can be white, green, black, or brown. It has a Douglas fir or fur ruff. It wears a kilt, sash, and orange moccasins. There are white strips on the top of the snout, up the face between the eyes and over the head. It appears in Mixed Kachina Dances, and in the Water Serpent Ceremony at First Mesa. "Badgers are medicine men-supposed to carry medicine whith them (like similar pouches of cornmeal around necks of clowns.)" Called Honànkatsina in the Hopi Dictionary.
