Shogg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shogg is a character from the Redwall novel series by Brian Jacques. He is an anthropomorphic otter who appears in the novel Triss.

Born north of Mossflower, Shogg was a slave in the kingdom of Riftgard along with his friends Trisscar Swordmaid and Welfo the hedgehog. The three plotted together to escape slavery, find help, and come back and free the other slaves. After their initial escape plan was discovered, they escaped and stole a vessel belonging to the Pure Ferret rulers of Riftgard. They landed on the beautiful Peace Island, and left Welfo with the native hedgehogs to live in peace.

Landing in Mossflower country, Shogg and Triss fled from the pursuing Pure Ferrets and Freebooters. Along the way, they met Badger Lord Sagaxus and his friends Kroova Wavedog and Bescarum. Fleeing together, the group ended up at Redwall Abbey. As time went on, Shogg became good friends with Kroova, and his friendship with Triss deepened. He later accompanied her to Brockhall, where he slew the adder Harsaccs. He was ultimately poisoned to death by Harsaccs' brother Zassalis, and was laid to rest at Redwall.

Shogg was voiced by Greg Longridge in the full-cast audiobook.
