Raventail's Band

Raventail was originally the leader of a band of about twenty ferrets. They lived east of Redwall Abbey. When they tried to attack Dann, Song, Dippler and Burble, they captured the last two but the two squirrels escaped. Later on the ferrets' number was lessened after Song and Dann attacked. Somehow the two squirrels alone beat off twenty ferrets, and Dann injured Raventail himself.

Raventail later met the Marlfoxes Vannan, Ascrod and Predak. After a few simple tricks, the barbaric ferret was completely convinced. The group swelled from twenty to nearly a hundred when they went recruiting. They joined the Marlfoxes in the assault of Redwall.

During the last battle, Raventail himself was killed by Cregga Badgermum and most of his vermin was also slain. The ones that survived were forced to clean up the Abbey, then their weapons were confiscated and they scattered.

The band painted themself with tattoos, giving themselves a barbaric appearance.
