General Ironbeak

[General Ironbeak]

Back when I was in middle school, I was a bird lover, and General Ironbeak was a fictional bird who I loved dearly. Yes, I was aware he was an antagonist, but I found him magnificent.

Now I am not as much into him; I guess you could say I outgrew the series a while ago. But for the sake of the fact that I once loved Ironbeak to the heavens, I named myself after him.

He was a very interesting character, I wonder what would have happened if he had completely conquered the abbey and the warriors, like Matthias, came back and had to do battle.

Hmmm.....if you, as you say, "outgrew" the Redwall series, why did you make an account here?

[General Ironbeak]

I didn't "outgrow" it, but I did pass the target age, is what I mean. I still have a special spot for Redwall, though.

Ironbeak was a great character in my opinion. He was strong, had good rule over his birds, and was so close to conquering the Abbey. He was a minor villain but he added a lot to the story, unlike Argulor.

General Ironbeak was probably one of the best birds in the Redwall series (according to my opinion and my brothers).

I liked the bird that killed him

What book was Ironbeak from?

[Tam and Martin]

Mattimeo.

Yeah, he is one of my top fav. birds of Redwall too, but I still like Skarlath better.

Same for me but they are both my favorites. Skarlath is my favorite good bird but Ironbeak is my favorite villain bird.

Ironbeak was a unique villain.  Granted he was written when the Redwall universe was just beginning, but as I remember, he didn't remind me of a villain that got stuck in the "bad guy" formula.  He actually had to scheme and think differently because he was a bird.  He couldn't walk or carry a spear, so the threats to the abbey had to be presented differently.
