I mean one that's the main good guy.
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

I think it would be interesting to see a good wildcat.
What about Gingivere?
IKR, he was cool. Like, really suave.

So badgers are technically larger than ats, though it is clear that their claws are more blunt. Cats are also built in a more agile way, while badgers are stockier. So it's even: strength vs. agility. However, badgers are just more resilient. As seen in Mossflower, Tsarmina is driven baack by the onslaught of Martin. A badger would have lasted longer.

Wildcats and cats are not the same thing and wildcats are bigger than badgers

They are? I didn't know that. Was Tsarmania a wild cat or a normal cat?

I think she might have been a wildcat; I'm not completely sure, though.

She was a wildcat. The cat, Gingevere, in the Original Redwall book was a feral cat, so like a domesticated cat turned wild. The main bad guy in High Rhulain was a wildcat, but his followers were feral cats.

OHHHH ok. What kind of size difference is there?

In real life, the European wildcat is not dissimilar to a house cat, though they are a little larger, have thicker fur, and a non-tapered tail.

The European badger is notably larger than the European wildcat, though. I think Jett got wildcats confused with the Eurasian lynx, which are several times as large as a domestic or feral cat and indeed larger than badgers.

Squire Julian Gingivere was a marmalade cat.

That Gingivere was from the book Redwall, and yes he was a marmalade cat. When they say feral they mean domesticated more or less, which was what S. J. Gingivere was. However, the Gingivere from Mossflower was wildcat.

To clarify, they're two different cats. There are two Gingiveres. I'm not sure whether or not you were confused about that, but I'm saying it anyway.

They're worthy competition for each other, as it was stated in Lord Brocktree that Lord Brocktree and Ungatt Trunn were evenly matched. I'd have to go with badgers, though, because the Redwall series also makes it clear that they are considered more powerful than many other species (hence why they rule Salamandastron). And if Bloodwrath kicks in during a fight, they're almost unstoppable.
