Slavers from Slagar's Gang
Slagar's Gang was a motley array of approximately 18 weasel, stoat, and ferret slavers, as well as one rat, who were led by Slagar the Cruel. They participated in the kidnapping of young ones who were intended to serve as slaves for the polecat Malkariss. Slagar had repeated this process many times, and it was said by the Old Rabbit that after slaves were successfully brought to his employer's subterranean kingdom, Slagar would kill the remaining vermin travelers or ditch them altogether.
Each job, he would recruit a new band of slavers and start over again. It is not known exactly how many times Slagar had done this, but it is mentioned that he had gone through many vermin slavers.
The following consists of known members of Slagar's gang, starting just before the raid on Redwall Abbey.

Trivia[]
- Slagar's Gang is one of the very few known vermin groups in the Redwall series to hold such a significantly small number of rats, whereas the standard vermin group typically consists of a rather large number of rats, as they are very common horde members.
- In the Nelvana Redwall TV Series, Slagar the Cruel routinely instructs Threeclaws to watch over Vitch. Why he asks Threeclaws and no one else is unknown.
