Triggut Frap was an old mentally disturbed male hedgehog who lived on an island in the middle of some watermeadows. He was known to be very ugly and foul-smelling, with only one good eye and half his spikes missing.
After Tura, Midda, and the other young ones escaped from Althier and the Ravagers through a tunnel, they stumbled upon Triggut, who led them to his home on the pretense that he was going to help them return to Redwall Abbey. To their dismay, the deranged hedgehog kept them all as prisoners on his island and forced them to build a house.
To ensure that they wouldn't try to escape, he held the young mouse Diggla hostage, threatening to feed the Dibbun to the pike that surrounded his island. On one occasion Tura tried to free Diggla, and she found that Triggut was guarded by a group of toads. The young ones hated the cruel old hermit and sought some way of escape and revenge.
Ambrevina Rockflash and Diggs rescued the young captives by fighting their way through the pike stream and threatening Triggut. The unstable hedgehog surrendered to them and they tied him and hoisted him up into a tree, where he was left dangling as his former prisoners escaped in his boat.
