Groffgut

Groffgut was the leader of an evil vermin wannabe gang of water rats. He carried a rusted scythe blade with a rope handle.

The following rats consisted of his gang:


 * Threetooth


 * Frogeye


 * Plugtail


 * Rashback


 * Obbler


 * Fleddy


 * Hangpaw

They captured Pandion Piketalon and were torturing him mercilessly until Tiria Wildlough, Girry, Tribsy, and Brinty showed up and scattered the rats. At this time, Brinty beat Groffgut quite hard with his staff, to which he swore revenge.

Later on, Groffgut and his gang attempted without luck to siege Redwall Abbey by scaling the walls. The gang fell on top of one another and Groffgut severed his tail with his own sword.

The gang decided to lay low in the ditch near the Abbey. When Brinty ran out of the gates fending off a gannet, Groffgut lept up and struck Brinty down in one slash.

Skipper Banjon then killed Groffgut by throwing Corriam Wildlough's lance through him.
