I TOTALLY agree. Flinky is awesome.

Actually, I wrote a fan fic called The Land of Eternal Ice which was a sequel to Loamhedge. In it, Flinky and co. got captured, along with Fenna and the young Melesme, by vermin from the Land of Ice and Snow. They were put as slaves in the wolverine queen's castle, but escaped and helped Melesme to escape too. (except for Rogg and Floggo, who joined the white vermin ranks and did murderous deeds before getting killed by Horty.)

So..... yeah, Flinky is awesome, and could be considered a gray character. The only reason he isn't, I think, is because he never flat-out stated that he wanted to be good, or saved a goodbeast like the other 'good' vermin in the series.
