Thrugg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thrugg the otter is a character from the Redwall novel Salamandastron.
An otter who lives at Redwall with his twin sister Thrugann, Thrugg is highly dependable. A good friend of all Redwallers, he was encouraging of Samkin squirrel, the young one who took up the Sword of Martin. After Samkin departed on a journey that would take him to Salamandastron, Thrugg was at Redwall when it was struck by the epidemic of Dryditch Fever.
Seeking both to escape the disease and help his friends, Thrugg set off to find the Flowers of Icetor in the Northern Mountains. His only company was a young dormouse named Dumble, who followed Thrugg out of the Abbey and whom the otter didn't have the heart to turn away. The two traveled a great distance, meeting and making friends with the young falcon Rocangus.
Upon arriving at the Northern Mountains, Thrugg met with the holder of the Icetor Flowers, the Wild King MacPhearsome. After the king saw Thrugg's determination, he agreed to carry some flowers to Redwall. Thrugg returned in company with Rocangus and several other falcons, all of them having had several adventures along the way.
As a gift for his valiant efforts, Thrugg was given a carved bowl and spoon which came with the promise that it would be filled with hotroot soup whenever he wanted. The brave otter later helped keep the Abbess out of Redwall while they prepared a Nameday feast. Thrugg was also one of those who met the returning Samkin and the arriving Mara, the adopted daughter of Badger Lord Urthstripe the Strong.
Thrugg was voiced by Paul Braithwaite.
