Dogs/hounds

[Tam and Martin]

I've always thought that a really interesting fanfic idea would be an external threat to Mossflower/Salamandastron from a wolf pack or something. It could force an alliance between vermin and woodlanders and be an instance for a different type of Redwall story.

Same here! I always wished that would happen in a real book though.

That does sound cool! It would be really interesting to see how the woodlanders, good and bad, came together to fight off a wolf pack or similar.

otters and badgers are stripedogs and riverdogs.

Read my fanfiction. I have a wolf in there and how powerful I think it would be in the Redwallverse. It's a start at least.
BTW, I'm going to steal that idea and start another fan fiction with the wolves vs all other creatures. JK (maybe)

 I think in the Redwall universe the terms dog and chicken were originally applied to a use in nicknaming certain creatures(eg. chicken means coward)and if there were these creatures in redwall then the words would be applied to them only after they already had a different meaning

[Tim Churchmouse]

In 'Redwall' when Methuselah is going through the Abbey records he finds that a TOWN DOG told another recorder about Cluny.

[Tam and Martin]

Yes, I remember that. That was in Redwall though right?

[Tim Churchmouse]

Yes, it was Tam and Martin

[Tam and Martin]

Thanks!

[willruth]

It could also apply to, say an old inhabitant of a town or a seadog in a town(who would have heard far and wide of Cluny)!!

Or maybe hound is just a made up sailor word, or maybe the hounds had a major migration, or they just died out.

[SilentSam]

Or maybe hound is another word for wolf in redwall?

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Or maybe hound is another word for wolf in redwall?

Now you say it, I can imagine town wolves. Hmmm.

[Hickory]

Yeah, but really, thw word "dog" is used in another book besides redwall,  I think it's used in Brocktree.

If there were wolves, would they be vermin or goodbeasts?
