Bigfang

Bigfang was a burly Terramort searat in the crew of Greypatch. Rebellious and sullen, Bigfang disliked Greypatch and often challenged his authority as their ship the Darkqueen crossed the sea. Eventually they landed at Mossflower Woods where Greypatch learned of Redwall Abbey and determined to occupy it. His first aggressions towards the Abbey, though, resulted in humiliating defeat. Bigfang seized his chance and, appealing to the crew's low morale, announced himself captain. He led them blundering west again, towards the sea and the scuttled Darkqueen, when tney were ambushed by hares of the Long Patrol, who proved more than a match for the crew and sent them hurrying back to Greypatch, who regained authority. Bigfang had no chance to regain his position. However, as the attacks on Redwall wore on with little success, Bigfang and his companion Lardgutt began appealing to the crew's hunger. Finally Greypatch's patience snapped and he fought Bigfang. It was a close fight-Bigfang was, after all, big and strong-but in the end Greypatch's experience won the day and Bigfang was killed
