Threeclaws was a fat male weasel in Slagar the Cruel's gang. He was the main slave driver and was usually left in charge when Slagar was away, a position which Halftail resented and led to internal fighting among the villains. Threeclaws did not get along with Vitch, who referred to him as "fatty."
He was one of only five of the surviving members of the gang to be caught by Matthias, Orlando the Axe, and the rest of Slagar's pursuers after being abandoned by the fox. Matthias decided to spare his life knowing that he had been manipulated by Slagar, though he had Sir Harry the Muse force march him for doing the same.
