The story
Groffgut's gang originally lived south of Redwall Abbey along with other vermin bands. Groffgut's band was smaller and younger than the other bands, so they were often the butt of jokes. Groffgut decided to wander north and try to prove themselves.

They captured Pandion Piketalon and were torturing him when Tiria Wildlough and her friends rescued the osprey. The rat Brinty gave Groffgut a beating, for which the water rat swore revenge. The gang marched along the path. Tiria saw them and shot Hangpaw, killing him.

The gang later tried to enter Redwall by standing on top of each other's heads, but they were stopped by Abbess Lyciam and Burbee molemum. The two Redwallers threw hot tea on the water rats, causing them to fall on top of each other's heads. Groffgut was injured in the process, and they decided to lay low for a while.

Later, when Brinty was fighting the gannet which entered Redwall, he opened the gate and thrust the bird out. Groffgut slew the mouse, but Skipper Banjon Wildlough threw Corriam Wildlough's lance and killed Groffgut. The gannet killed Plugtail and Frogeye, and the other gangmembers fled and were never seen near Redwall again.
