Scary or Disconcerting Moments in Redwall

[Tam and Martin]

Er, kind of.

I still think Gulo is THE scariest one.

[Deyna the Warrior]

Asmodeuses Cave.

Yes! That scene was terrifying. It would be scary enough with out the constant "Asmodeus...Asmodeus...Asmodeus.."

[Leatho Shellhound]

Indeed, when you're reading it you feel like you are there your self, lost in darkness, the old poison tooth's name being whispered around every corner.

[Faiyloe]

That was in fact rather creepy. I find that seen rather memorable and well done though. I can't remember weather this has been said before (And it probably has) but when In Rackety Tam they find the remains of the squirrels...  Not pretty.

[Delthion]

For me it was in Rakkety Tam where the members of the Long Patrol are eaten, but was most disconcerting about this was that they screamed, because hares of the Long Patrol do not scream for no reason.

When I was seven, reading the bit in Mossflower when tsarmina blocks the javelin with a soldier quite disturbing because I was so young at the time.

[Skyblade]

Many of the things the vermin leaders did to their own horde members I found disturbing and simply cruel. I mean, it's bad enough to go harm innocent creatures, but to be so cruel to your own people? Somehow, I feel like that might be even worse. It must be tough to be a vermin horde member.

I was a teenager when I read that part and still disturbed.


The part in Doomwyte when Skurr tossed Sicariss into the lake, where she was caught by the giant fish, was pretty shocking. Goes along with what I said about the vermin leaders' sadistic nature.

I think the creepiest thing I may have read is the trio of snakes in Triss. Forget Asmodeus and Baliss. Three snakes attached together, like one giant, three-headed, serpentine dragon? That's unreal.

[Hickory]

Doomwyte was full of more disturbing things then anyother book, though I have to say Urgan Nagru was disturbing... kind of.

[Ungatt Trunn]

I found it a little unnerving when Razzid and some of his crew tortured that old otter (or so it was implied). I honestly don't remember anything that gruesome or cruel in the series. I mean, yes, Redwall is kinda known some for the war sequences which come with some rather gory deaths, but this one just always seemed... disturbing, you might say.

[Skyblade]

In my opinion, Doomwyte is the creepiest novel overall. The cave of Skurr was like something that walked out of a nightmare, and then you've got all the creepy birds and two evil snakes. Blodd Apis' death was kind of disconcerting as well. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

[Lady Ashenwyte]

For me it was in Rakkety Tam where the members of the Long Patrol are eaten, but was most disconcerting about this was that they screamed, because hares of the Long Patrol do not scream for no reason.

Wait, they were eaten? Why? *Sob*

I think it's pretty creepy in Lord Brocktree, when they find the skeleton of one of the captains who was eaten by crabs.

Wait, they screamed??? I don't remember that detail...

[Banya]

I used to get chills reading about how Beau and Vurg would dress as "Sea Bogles" in the night to frighten corsairs aboard the Goreleech in Legend of Luke, probably because I first read this scene at night with a flashlight.  I always found it somewhat creepy, yet this trickery is part of what makes this book my favourite.

[Eulaliaaa!]

I've always found that part in The Long Patrol disturbing. When the Redwallers are exploring the underground ruins of Kotir. There were the sightless, cannibalistic toads and the mudfish. I thought it was gross how they were eating each other and being eaten at the same time.

[LT Sandpaw]

I become very uneasy and mad with the stories when a badger lord single handedly slaughters an entire sea rat ship, too my knowledge it happens twice. One with Sunstripe better known as Sunflash and once with Rawnblade.
