Worst Villain Death

[Feles]

i remember now, Riggu Felis, wildcat that ruled Green Isle killed by High Rhulain
his death should have been better

[Dippler]

I think the two worst deaths were Razzid's and Slagar's.

[rrrrr]

Sawney Rath's. His was rather uneventful.

[Leatho Shellhound]

Out of those listed above, I'd have to say Tsarmina had it the worst. Not only did she die a death she most dreaded but her whole kingdom was being taken from her. And her own confidence and pride shattered by a mouse.

[Feles]

id vote for Sawney, but ive already used it on Kurda, both were humiliating though

[Luftwaffles]

Slegar's death was downright pathetic (in the TV series) and Cluny's was a little weak.

Gabool's death wins for me in both meanings of "worst." 
My opinion may be changed as I re-read the books.  I'm finding I'm developing a different opinion of each book now than I had created when I was younger.

Gabool's death

As far has having a lame, cheap death: he was killed by his pet scorpion, and worse, it was predictable.  The only thing satisfying about it was that Skrabblag was able to have his revenge.  Mariel was cheated of the revenge she deserved, though this fits into a pattern in the earliest books of the villains being defeated more by bad luck and their own actions than by the mouse protagonists. 
Gabool's death also wins for worst (i.e. most violent/unpleasant) because he was, well, killed by a giant scorpion.

That's how it was in the book too

Somehow, I was expecting it. Oh well, I think that I'm going to skip "Mattimeo" entirely, then.

Mattimeo was a good sequel to Redwall, and has many different elements from the series. The show never could really get the emotion and power from the books.

cause is was for kids

The book was for kids too.

[Feles]

not really, it sold to kids but it was more for teens and young adults, think of the Rouge Crew or Salamadastron (I can name so many more), and while the books the show did actually show were less brutal, there was plenty of things in the book that kids show could never replicate for being to graphic

You're not doing justice to the book if you judge it by the show that was based on it.  Just as the majority of books are superior to their film counterparts, so was this book to its show.  The vibe I've gotten generally is that it's not a favourite, but I remember reading it for the first time on a camping trip, and I couldn't put it down.  That's how nearly all the series has been for me.  In addition, this book's got stiff competition for a position on anyone's favourites list against 21 other books that were each riveting and incredible in different ways.  If you're going to continue to judge the characters, deaths, action, and other elements of the story, give the book a chance.

Mattimeo was the perfect sequel to Redwall. It's less formulaic than many of the later books in the series, and I feel it inspires the imagination more than a lot of the ones that came later. The fact that Slagar died the death of a fool, I think, adds to its appeal. He spent his entire life running and trusting in his imagined wits and actual luck to escape; well, that time it didn't work. I'm not sure how it could have gone any better -- he's not a fighter, so it doesn't make sense to have somebody kill him.

I read The Rogue Crew the other day, after putting it off for over a month. In many ways it was a classic. The end for the allegedly fearsome Razzid Wearat was more than a little anticlimatic, though. An otter hit him over the head with a club and he dies. I already knew how he died before I read the book, and I was still left thinking, "That's it?" I guess not everybody can have a dramatic death, though, and it's not like Razzid ever did anything before that to impress me in terms of combat skills.
