Who is your favorite Villain?

[Log-a-Log]

Yeah, I think Urgan Nagru and Silvamord were two of my least favorite villains

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

Fer zome reazon ah actually liked Druwp.

[daskar666]

Druwp was the first non-shrew bad "good species" guy making him notable.
I expected more villainous behavior from shrews than other "good" species because they're well, shrews.

[Skalrag of Marshank]

Agh, oh how I hate Druwp...

[Tiria Wildlough]

Agh, oh how I hate Druwp...

Me too. His voice in the TV show was so annoying.

I agree. But I also agree with Slagar the Cruel. What's with all of the different colored foxes? The Marlfoxes are all mottles and can blend into things, so that makes them creepy and mysterious. The Ruggan Bor had GOLDEN fur, so he's considered intimidating. I would laugh if I met a golden fox. Then Plugg Firetail. What's with him? He's silver coloured, with a normal looking tail. Talk about weird. And since when would a vermin bath, brush, and shine his tail? Talk about a completely non-vermin way of acting. Ascrod, Slagar, and Skalrag were the only sane foxes in the Redwall world.

[James Gryphon]

I'd contest that myself, though I never read the particular "Ask Slagar" feature you're talking about.

I'd rank Balefur pretty highly myself, though, on the fox list; he was the only one of Swartt's enemies that didn't fall for the poisoned goblet, and he posed the ferret warlord a substantial threat, up until Nightshade tricked him into entering the Quarry. That still isn't too bad, though. He could've died in a really weak way, like, say, being used for target practice, or running into an open well.

The most successful fox, though, might be Groddil; he's the only fox villain I can think of that survived all the way through the book and lived to tell about it, which isn't shabby.

[Nightfire]

Slagar did. He was Chickenhound in Redwall. People thought he had died, but he survived and tricked Redwall Abbey. He survived for almost two whole books!

I've always held a fondness for Urgan Nagru for the reason that for all intents and purposes, he won. That is to say, by the time we start the story, he's already got control of a kingdom with a minimum amount of trouble and hassle. That was his intital goal, and he obtained it. Housekeeping issues of course come up later, but all major villains encounter that. It can be believed that he was in control of Southsward for sometime, giving him, I think, the longest reign post-conquer of all the major villains in the series (with the exception of Tsarmina, who inherited her kingdom. And even then, her own time on the throne is kept short). Also, his relationship with Silvamord is cool; you don't really see too many power couples, with usually one dicator ceasing control for themselves, so sharing the decision making was a neat step.

And, as a student of history, I really like how he holds his own in an open field battle. Most of the warlords resort to seiges, which, as we've seen, most mindless cannibals are capable of doing with some success. Urgan's refusal to lose his cool after being surprised, his defense of his position, and then going on the initiative to assault the enemies flanks are not somehting we get a lot of. Not to mention that, when the going gets rough, he knows enough to retreat. And retreating, in spite of popular opinion, is not cowardly so much as recognizing the fact that continuing the battle would result in assured lost and it's better to fight another day. LAst, but not least, his fight scene with Finnbarr is awesome.

Silvamord was weird. I loved the "Dystfunctional Vermin Families" Mossflower talk episode, though. It was funny how she ticked off Urgan.

I also love how in Ask Slagar, then Slagar the Cruel is making fun of Urgan. He says. "Then there's this fox who finds a dead, frozen wolf in the woods, so he wears it's pelt and calls himself Urgaan Nagru, saying 'My name's Urgan Nagru! That means I can attack you from forwards or backwards! Oooh!' I mean, come on, my name's Slagar, but that doesn't mean I will attack you from behind a slag heap shouting 'arrr'. What a dork."

Or something along those lines.

Heehee. Love that part.

How do you imagine Slagar's voice, Nightfire?

He could've died in a really weak way, like, say, being used for target practice,

Oh, ya had to bring that up, didn't you?
