Title: Ratsssss!
Post by: Ashleg on November 08, 2018, 04:43:25 AM
We all know that rats are by far one of the, if not the best species in the Redwall series.

Who's your favorite rat? Least favorite? Rat you wished didn't die (or rat you wished DID?)

LET'S TALK 'BOUT THEM RATS.

I think Cluny is very memorable- but many will say that. Cheesethief and Vitch are among my favorites in the whole series, not just among rats.
Raga Bol... eh. Could have been more interesting, but he wasn't bad.

Favorite rat Nadaz, least favorite just about every non leader rat because they were all portrayed as very stupid.

Nadaz was one I forgot. He's great.

I think pretty much all vermin were portrayed as very stupid.

Probably my favorite rat was Cluny. After him, maybe Gabool.
As for least favorite, I think there were a couple underling rats who were just plain annoying.

The irrelevant rats are some of my favourites. Wulpp from Martin the Warrior is one that I remember (probably coz I re-read that so much). Bladeribb and Bladetail from Pearls of Lutra had some good scenes (Bladetail was Romsca's steersrat and Bladeribb was the rat that died when Freebeast got wrecked).
I also liked Vitch and Cluny... But they were already mentioned.

Yay, someone else who likes Vitch.

Couldn't agree with you more about Gabool.

My favourite rat is Cluny. I think he is a really great character. I also love that he has a blade on his tail I think that is so cool. I just love the villains in the Redwall series. I find them so interesting.

Same, Megan. He's not my favorite but he's up there. And they ARE. They're my favorite part of the books.

What did you like about Nadaz? Was it just that he was smarter than the rest and built himself up into a position of power?

I found him interesting particularly because he was one of the few leaders in the series who was not in the highest position of power but was still pulling the strings in Malkariss.

I thought Nadaz was pretty cool too especially when i realized he had about 9,000 rats under his rule and 3-6,000 slaves building the kingdom.  Then i did a double take realizing that the Redwallers and the Guosim numbered around 400 during the battle and kicked Nadaz butt even though he had them vastly outnumbered.

1. Cluny, obviously.
2. Gabool, crazy but cool.
3. Damug Warfang, cause he had a kick tail army.
5. Blaggut. hilarious.

Blaggut by far

Raga Bol is possibly the least talked about villain on these forums. Poor Raga.

Cluny is my favorite villain (hence the username) and I absoflippinlutely love Blaggut as well.

Damug was meh and Gabool was in MOR for about 2 chapters but he was kinda cool when we saw him, before he went insane. I honestly really like minor rat villains.

Wait... NADAZ HAD 9,000 RATS UNDER HIS COMMAND? :o
