User blog comment:Sandingomm the Wildcat/Groddil - A Character Analysis/@comment-7662967-20160809174745

I agree completely, Groddil isn't a villain in my mind. He's a beast who was manipulated by fear, treated poorly by his master, and who made some terrible choices. I personally thought he had a lot of potential and wished he had played a bigger part of the story, though arguably he did more for the plot then most of the gray vermin characters.

No to mention he has more of a backstory than most too. He's one of my favorite Redwall characters (favorite being Romsca)
