Who do you think is the most bloodthirsty villain in all of the Redwall books? I would have to say Razzid Wearat
In my opinion, Gulo was definitely the most bloodthirsty. I mean, seriously, ripping out creatures hearts to gain strength? *shudders* Scarey. >_<
Yup, I agree. Definitely Gulo the Savage. Razzid Wearat would come close second, and Cluny the Scourge is in third place.
Defiantly Gulo. I mean, he literally DRINKS blood!
Gulo the Savage easily. He was a cannibal, and as the others mentioned, did some disgusting stuff...
As a cannibal, Gulo is definitely a popular choice, but I'd have to consider a few others as well.
Ferahgo the Assassin, although outwardly charming, derived particular pleasure in killing his enemies... he carried a skinning knife in addition to his killing knife, and we can assume, used it for its intended purpose. Also, I direct readers to exhibit A, his foiling an assassination attempt. Previously, he had been recovering from wounds sustained from boiling water. Upon killing someone, he immediately felt much better, his injuries practically forgotten. If that isn't an indication of bloodthirstiness, I'm not sure what is.
Asmodeus hypnotized and devoured his prey, and took no small pleasure out of this.
Lask Frildur, and all of his Monitors, also ate their prey.
Tsarmina also took particular fiendish glee in her tyranny; I believe it was said that the Mask shuddered to hear her diabolical plans, as she talked about enslaving woodlanders and dividing up their families.
There's also Gabool, who mercilessly murdered Bludrigg, and boasted about doing so to Saltar later... also, he attempted to kill both Mariel and Joseph through kicking them into the ocean, and killed several other vermin by throwing them to his pet Skrabblag.
I might also mention Ublaz Mad Eyes, who, in addition to murdering an entire otter holt for six pearls (however beautiful they might have been), and controlling the aforementioned flesh-eating lizards, also treacherously killed off almost the entire crew of Bloodkeel, and hypnotized Conva into jumping out of a window to his death.
Sawany Rath was pretty bloodthirsty, skinning creatures alive. Also those characters from Rogue Crew who enslaved Uggo and Posybud, forgot their names, despite how stupid they were, they were still bloodthirsty. They ate beasts, apparently.
Gulo the Savage. He practically revels in eating his conquered enemies. Bluuurghh...
Riggu Felis is definitely bloodthirsty after chaining scorecat Yund to the wall and making Scaut slowly cut him up.
And yet another here for Gulo. He ate his enemies. Not because that's what he eats, like the snakes might be able to claim, but because he wanted to.
Ate. Them.
Ate.
Urgh.

Yea I shuddered when I read that part
Razzid Wearat is definitely on the high end of bloodthirstiness...I'm still at the beginning of the Rogue Crew and already he ran over 4 young hares on his ship and then burned an otter alive.
What book is Gulo the Savage in?
Rakkety Tam.
Thanks! I just finished part one of Triss.
GULO, GULO, GULO. Rakkety tamm by the way. I think its a toss-up tween him and Vilu Daskar. Daskar was absolutely E-V-I-L :)
Razzid Wearat, and Gulo were both bloodthirsty.
Gulo and the waerrat eww to both of them and glad you at h---gates
I haven't read The Rogue Crew... :(
But my mum says we can order The Sable Quean. :)
Anyway, back on topic... ;)
Tsarmina was pretty bloodthirsty. In one part of Mossflower, she rips up carpets, pretending that they're helpless woodlanders. :-\ :-\
The interesting thing about that is that it is villainous, but also incredibly cat-like -- anyone who owns one can think of times when their kitty's done practically the same thing to some object or another.
It's interesting how the characters tend to share some of the same traits their real-life counterparts do, at least earlier on in the series.
Also on the subject of bloodthirstiness, Cluny the Scourge sent his captain up on the horse to get it moving again, despite knowing full well that he would likely die in the attempt.
My cat claws everything! He is just like Lord Brocktree. One minute he is all love, being nice to my younger siblings. The next minute he is full of bloodwrath and he claws everyone and everything.
I'm with James! Cluny was also bloodthirsty. I think most villains were. There were some that weren't so "bloodthirsty" though.
cluny the scrouge
I am going to be the odd one out and claim that Gulo may be actually one of the least blood thirsty villains in the series, sure he was insane and ate his victim but he killed them in a humane fashion.
In my own opinion I would say that Ferahgo is the most vile of the vermin lot, after all if you peeved him off he would skin in you alive in front of your own war buddy's and if yah desert he would send an assassin to chase you all away across the globe!
gulo didn't kill his victims in a humane fashion, he ripped them apart, i think sawney rath was quite like feragho because they both liked to skin their own side

Ferahgo is one of my least favourite villains. He is boring and there's just something about him that makes him uninteresting. ::)
Weren't they all bloodthirsty in their own way? I mean, I don't recall a major villain who didn't kill or have someone else killed.
Though if I had to choose, I would say that Ferahgo and Raga Bol were the most bloodthirsty.
Razzid Wearet
Gulo. Definitely

You know, he wasn't one of the first I thought of, but after rereading that book...did anyone else notice Cluny threatening to cook and eat some of his own soldiers? We also have examples implying Cluny saw no problem with eating rabbits or dormice, either. XD
Gulo.
Razzid Wearat because he enjoyed crushing creatures with his ship and shooting them with crossbows and buring creatures alive and torturing kids with his trident by sticking them in the foot with it. The reason I think that Razzid is more bloodthirsty than Gulo is because it was in Gulo's nature to be bloodthirsty. He was a wolverine, he just loved to fight and kill and destroy. Gulo was also dumb. This combined with his nature of killing makes him just a rabid weapon basically. But Razzid is smart, he knows what he is doing and he enjoys it. He enjoys watching beasts die, young or old. That is why he is the most bloodthirsty IMO.
Gulo the savage- no one liked blood more than him, it was his holiday-, and the Wearet from "Mattimeo".

Well, yeah, but that's typical villain behavior. I wouldn't mind doing that myself.

Actually, Cluny didn't
really ever eat any of them. He just said he would.
Has anyone thought about the Flitchaye? They often ate their victims alive.
And then there were those tree weasels in
Mattimeo who captured Cheek and would have eaten him if Jess (was it Jess?) hadn't captured their leader guy and using him as a hostage.
