'''Damug Warfang''' was a male Greatrat and the Firstblade of the [[Rapscallions]]. He was the son of [[Gormad Tunn]] and brother of [[Byral Fleetclaw]]. Following the death of his father, the previous leader of the Rapscallions, Damug enlisted crafty stoat [[Lugworm]] to help him cheat in the fight against his brother [[Byral Fleetclaw]] for the right to rule the horde. He also used Lugworm to rig the Rapscallions' Throwing of the [[Rapscallion sword|Sword]] ceremony to ensure that Damug would have his preference in leading his army over land - albeit from the back. He did not like sailing due to a possible fear of it.

Damug was a very cunning and intelligent leader who was not a fool, knowing there were others in his horde that might try to assassinate him. He was afraid of [[Lady Cregga Rose Eyes]], and refused to go near [[Salamandastron (place)|Salamandastron]] while she ruled there.

[[Borumm]] and [[Vendace]], with the help of the traitorous Lugworm, later tried to assassinate Damug; the Greatrat, however, had foreseen the attack and ambushed the would-be assassins in the dark. He sentenced them to life in chains, but they escaped with several others Damug had punished and fettered. Damug sent his Rapmark [[Skaup]] after them; when the ferret returned with the prisoners, Damug, in an act of undeniable cruelty, threw them into a river with stones around their necks.

Damug planned to conquer [[Redwall Abbey]], as [[Rinkul]] noticed that the south wall had collapsed. However, [[Tamello De Fformelo Tussock|Tammo]] and [[Midge Manycoats]], disguised as vermin seers, informed him of a "better" place to stage the [[Battle of the Ridge of a Thousand|battle]], and Damug, being a bit superstitious, followed their guidance. He led the Rapscallions to the named [[Ridge of a Thousand|battlefield]], where they greatly outnumbered the Redwallers and the hares of the [[Long Patrol]]. Damug might have completely wiped out the woodlanders' army, but he ordered his troops to stop fighting and imprison their opponents, preparing to execute Major [[Perigord Habile Sinistra]] as an example. During the momentary delay, Lady Cregga Rose Eyes and her hares swept in out of the blue; the badger and the Greatrat fell off the ridge, with Cregga killing the Firstblade.
