'''Gurgan Spearback''' was the male hedgehog leader of the [[Waterhogs]] tribe. He was the husband of [[Rufftip]], father of [[Tragglo Spearback|Tragglo]], great-grandfather of [[Drogg Spearback]], and the great-great-grandfather of [[Sister Floburt]] and [[Brother Egburt]]. He wore big floppy sea boots and a huge brass buckled belt.

Gurgan stuck sea gull feathers in his headspikes, making him look a head bigger than in actuality. He painted his face white with scarlet polka dots, and his weapon of choice was a large tree trunk mallet. He fought very fiercely at the [[Battle of the Ridge of a Thousand]], even slaying the Rapmark captains [[Bluggach]] and [[Skaup]]. Prior to the battle, he uplifted the spirits of the small army by insulting the massed vermin, with assistance form Sergeant [[Torgoch]]. After the battle Gurgan took over as [[The Cellar|cellar keeper]] of [[Redwall Abbey]] from [[Gurrbowl]], and his eldest son Tragglo succeeded him as leader of the Waterhogs.
