Axtel Sturnclaw

[Bragoon]

I don't think he passed out, I think he went to sleep on purpose.

I wouldn't call that a "small paw wound". He was stabbed through the footpaw with a spear and then managed to rescue some captives while the spear head was still stuck in there before he passed out from blood loss and pain. That seems pretty tough to me!

If that is how it happened (and sense you went into so much detail I'm pretty certain it is) than that is no small potatoes... How would you like to run around saving captives with a spearhead in your foot! (Talking to the blademaster and anyone who thinks Axtel isn't tough)

I had the book right in front of me while I was writing the post, so that's my interpretation of what happened, yes. I'm not so sure he went to sleep on purpose; he had the young captives with him and I don't think he would have knowingly left them to fend for themselves in dangerous woodlands.

He was a boss!

Don't you mean a beast?

Anyway, back on topic, Axtel was awesome! Moles are way underrated!

Wow. That deserves another facepalm.


Anyway, Axtel is one of my favourite characters. There should be more warrior moles.

Revival of ooooold topic.

Personally, Axtel Sturnclaw has to be my favorite character in the series. He's unique in so many ways! He's one of the very few creatures who aren't badgers to have the Bloodwrath, he is the only warrior mole, and he's the only warrior in the series who carries an epic hammer. ( )
On the topic of a mole being an Abbot or Abbess, they would certainly be a most steady-headed and logical leader, with their inarguable 'mole logic'. However, they are mostly portrayed as being rather simple; not necessarily a trait that might be wanted in a head of the abbey. In addition to their supposed simpleness, the fact that they have their own dialect might make it difficult for them to lead with much efficiency. I think the best place for a mole (closest to being abbot/abbess) would be as an advisor.

       Speaking of his epic hammer, I designed one awhile back when I was actually using my Weapon Art topic. Here's his hammer under the design influence of Blaggut, as he was the one that requested it.

       I second (or whatever it by now) warrior mole awesomeness.
