Damug Warfang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Damug Warfang is an anthropomorphic rat, the main antagonist in the book The Long Patrol of the Redwall series by Brian Jacques.

Damug Warfang was Firstblade and leader of the Rapscallion army. After the death of his father, Gormad Tunn, Damug cheated (with the help of a stoat named Lugworm) to win a contest against his brother Byral Fleetclaw for leadership of the horde. Lugworm also helped Damug rig the throwing of the Rapscallion sword so that it landed land side up, signalling that the army should turn inland.

Damug had the chance to conquer Redwall Abbey, as his scouts had seen that the south wall had collapsed, but a disguised Midge Manycoats informed him of a "better" place to stage the battle. His Rapscallions greatly outnumbered the Abbey residents and the hares of the Long Patrol fighting with them. He could have won had he not ordered his troops to stop fighting and imprison their opponents. But that momentary delay gave Cregga Rose Eyes enough time to sweep in with her hares. Struggling, Cregga and Damug fell off the ridgetop, killing the Firstblade, but injuring the Badger Lady so severely that she was permanently blinded in the process.
