Asmodeus Poisonteeth

Asmodeus was an amazingly large male adder who lived in the Quarry near Mossflower Woods. Aptly nicknamed Iceeyes and Poisionteeth, Asmodeus's primary weapons were his fangs and hypnotic eyes. Many seasons before Matthias came to the Abbey, Asmodeus stole the sword of Martin the Warrior, who was out hunting in the woods. Proud of his prize, Asmodeus took it back to his lair and treasured it closely. During Cluny the Scourge's war on the Abbey, Matthias and Logalog snuck into the quaryy and sucessfully stole the sword. Asmodeus awoke before they could escape, however, and almost succeeded in hypnotizing and killing the young mouse warrior, when suddenly Matthias broke out of the transe and beheaded the giant adder.

Although he doesn't appear very often during the book, Asmodeus is very significant to the plot. During the course of the Great Summer War, Asmodeus was responsible for the deaths of Mingo, Guosim, and Ragear, as well as the maiming of Chickenhound.
