There's a minor villian called "Stinky"...

[i am that is (Matthias)]

wow thats weird. I would hate to have that happen to me...just imagine the nicknames people could come up with.

[Ungatt Trunn]

Actually, vermin weren't named by their parents. As they joined hordes and bands, the others gave them nicknames.

How do you know that?

Uggo? Uggo? It sounds- Crazy.

Oh, yes...

First, just by how they are, you can assume they got it later. Like "Snaggletooth"

Second, it was mentioned in the books a few times.

Well, alright. Though, I wonder if vermin ever kept their real name.

What's funny is the names they used to have were at least real words (Darkclaw, Splintnose) but eventually became just jibberish sounding names by the later books. Goes to show how the series was going downhill

DOWNHILL!!!!!!!
What do you mean "downhill" the books are all brilliant, and I like the way, how some of the names are made up ones. It makes you feel like the Redwall animals don't have to obey some of the rules we do. I like the way it's got some made up names!

Took the key-swipes right out of my fingers.

The series didn't go down hill! We got great books like Loamhedge, High Rhulain and Doomwyte! And good books like Rakkety Tam and The Rogue Crew! And alright books like Eulalia! and The Sable Quean ...

Just read the title of this thread and it did make me laugh.

^I agree that the series didn't go downhill, at least in my opinion.

And concerning the topic: Oof. Yeah, poor Stinky... Awful name.
