He's an ancient, obscure god. You probably haven't heard of him.

This is a wolverine. They are also known as skunk bears, nastycats or quickhatches, goddamn
My friend and I were curious why they were reputed to be such badasses, so we looked up some youtube videos and it quickly became my new favorite animal.
I saw a video of one attacking a bear who wandered into his area. I saw a video of a wolverine chasing off two fully grown wolves from a fresh kill and then chowing down. To paraphrase wikipedia: In another account, a wolverine attacked a polar bear and clung to its throat until the bear suffocated. Holy loving poo poo. These things weigh like 50 lbs. They're medium dog sized. If you were impressed by the honey badger then this is a hulked out version of that.
This is a loving badass critter and I can't wait to learn more about it.
My roomate's father worked at a remote oil plant in northern Britsh Columbia, Canada. Said facility was ringed by a high voltage electric fence designed to keep bears away.
One day they noticed the fence was going haywire on their sensors. It turns out a wolverine had touched the fence. Each time it shocked him he attacked the fence, which shocked him, which triggered another attack.
This went on for about a solid hour before they had to just turn off the fence so the drat thing would leave.
