Raventail

Raventail was a barbaric ferret, the leader of a group of about twenty other ferrets. They originally lived west of Redwall Abbey, where they would ambush and even take prisoner other creatures. When they stumbled upon Song, Dann, Dippler and Burble, they took the last two captive.

The other two, however, escaped and later returned and chased off the ferrets by slinging. Dann tussled with Raventail and wounded him, but Song decided to let the ferret free.

Raventail later had a meeting with the Marlfoxes Vannan, Ascrod and Predak. He was convinced that the Marlfoxes were magic, and joined them. Raventail managed to gather over a hundred other vermin to add to his gang. He was treated with almost as much respect as an actual Marlfox.

When his first plan (charging the Abbey, yelling, with torches to burn down the gate) failed, he was slightly downcast. The next plan of cutting down a tree which would fall on the walls failed when bees and termites attacked them. Raventail's head was so disfigured that nobody could recognize him.

In the final battle Raventail was fighting Florian the hare when he knocked on the door and said, "Vermin leader come to visit!" Cregga's paws appeared, grabbed Raventail and nobody ever saw him alive again.
