The name badger is possibly derived from the word badge, on account of the marks on the head; or it may be identical with the term noted below, the French blaireau being used in both senses. An older term for "badger" is brock (Old English brocc), a Celtic loanword (Gaelic broc, Welsh broch, from Proto-Celtic *brokko). The Proto-Germanic term was *þahsu- (German Dachs), likely from the PIE root *tek'- "to construct", so that the badger would have been named after its digging of setts (tunnels).
The collective name for a group of badgers is a cete.

What about something like badgerish. Or an adaptation on brock which I'm led to believe is another word or term for badger, might be wrong about that though.

The Wikipedia article on badgers says that they belong to the family "Mustelidae", so you could use a form of that word to describe them:
"mustelid" perhaps.
I'd just stick with "badger-like" if I were you.
