BACKGROUND INFORMATION FEATURE FILMS Zootopia (cut during production) BOOKS The Official Zootopia Handbook DESIGNER Cory Loftis CHARACTER INFORMATION SPECIES Honey Badger GENDER Female PERSONALITY Paranoid, unstable APPEARANCE Dirty fur covered with filth and crumbs; green or blue eyes OCCUPATION Employee at Wild Times FRIENDS Nick Wilde Finnick Clawhauser Honey is a stout honey badger with a wide build. She has green eyes in most of her artwork, but one piece of concept art depicts them as blue.Her fur is black with a white stripe extending from the top of her head to the end of her short tail. Pieces of concept art depict Honey with many different outfits:Her first outfit consists of a green camo tank top, khaki pants, a silver dog tag necklace and an olive green tool belt (pictured).Her second outfit consists of a white tank top with a picture of a dog, black pants, and a gold necklace with matching bangles and earrings. Her third outfit consists of a black tank top, green leopard-print pants, a red-and-white wristband and gold earrings (Another variant of this outfit includes a necklace).Her fourth outfit consists of a red-and-white-striped shirt, and brown pants with wildly-decorated suspender straps.Each outfit includes a tame collar.Honey was a doomsday prepper and a conspiracy theorist who believed that sheep were going to take over the world. She was a friend of Nick Wilde, Finnick, and Clawhauser (the latter not being a police officer in the version of the script Honey appeared in) and would've helped Nick run Wild Times. Her design and model were later recycled for use as Dr. Madge Honey Badger.Honey is the second character to have a name based on their species, the first being Gazelle. The Official Zootopia Handbook lists Honey as being an adventure tour guide.

Dr. Madge Honey

CHARACTER INFORMATION SPECIES Honey Badger GENDER Female OCCUPATION Doctor ALIGNMENT Good/Neutral HOME Zootopia POWERSABILITIES Vast medical expertise Dr. Madge Honey Badger is a female honey badger and a doctor in Zootopia.Dr. Madge's relationship with the Mayor of Zootopia seems to be fairly tenuous. At the Mayor's insistence, Dr. Madge is put onto the case of investigating why the predators around Zootopia are going savage.In one of her brief meetings with Mayor Lionheart, which can be assumed to be fairly regular, she hypothesizes that the savagery may be down to biology.The writers wanted to make sure that Judy's disastrous performance at the press conference was caused by her revealing her own bias and not by her accidentally saying the wrong thing because she was under pressure.Judy always believed that predators had an innate savagery to them as revealed during her play at the start of the film. When Dr. Honeybadger talks about biology at Cliffside, it sparks a connection in Judy about when she talked about predators and their "uncontrollable biological urge to maim and maul".This can be seen when Dr. Honeybadger says "consider their biology". There's a brief cutaway to show Judy and Nick's reactions. Judy's face lights up as if "predator biology" explains the savage behavior she's seen on the case. Nick, however, clearly looks offended at the suggestion.So, at the press conference after admitting the ZPD doesn't know why predators are turning savage, Judy stumbles into an explanation that's very much a rewording of her description of predators from the play she wrote which opened the film.Lionheart is definitely a consummate politician, but it's worth noting that he doesn't use the term "predator" or "savage" when he is first talking with Dr. Honeybadger. He specifically says he's got "a dozen and half animals here who have gone off-the-rails crazy".
