Stonepaw

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stonepaw is a character from the Redwall novel Lord Brocktree. He is a Badger Lord.

The father of Lord Brocktree, Stonepaw ruled at Salamandastron for many years. However, his long reign came to a tragic end when the mountain was attacked by Ungatt Trunn. Old and weary, with only the most elderly hares to command, Stonepaw was soon overcome.

Hiding with his remaining forces in the cellars of Salamandastron, Stonepaw sought a way to escape. However, just as he found a way out, Ungatt's horde found their hiding place. Buying his forces time to escape, Stonepaw did battle with the vermin, coming under the thrall of the Bloodwrath. After fighting off many foes, Stonepaw cheated his enemy of capturing him by diving into a bottomless pool with the last of his strength.

Stonepaw's chosen weapon was a spear. He is one of the few Badger Lords who does not seem to have a memorial in the mausoleum of Salamandastron. However, he is known as the Lord who ruled longest.
