He was friends with another rat soldier, [[Sneezewort]]. The pair were incredibly foolish, often showing their lack of intelligence. Lousewort was even more simple-minded than Sneezewort, and was often taken advantage of as a result.<br /> <br /> Lousewort wanted to salvage a ship&#039;s wheel from the scuttled Rapscallion fleet, but was ridiculed by Sneezewort and the wheel was thrown away. Unfortunately, it hit [[Hogspit]] and turned the weasel into an enemy of the rats.<br /> <br /> Along with Hogspit, Lousewort was promoted to the rank of Rapscour after the previous Rapscours, [[Borumm]] and [[Vendace]], were declared traitors. On a scouting expedition, Hogspit was killed by [[Log-a-Log (The Long Patrol)|Log-a-Log]] and Lousewort and the surviving scouts were punished by being forced to stand in a river all night. Borumm and Vendace escaped with the scouts, but killed [[Lugworm]]. Lousewort was shocked by this action and was knocked out by Borumm for his trouble. After regaining his senses, he alerted [[Damug Warfang]] of the rebels&#039; escape. Although Damug noted that Lousewort wasn&#039;t the brightest, he told him that he was at least loyal and demoted him back into a common soldier, ending his punishment.<br /> <br /> Later, Lousewort and Sneezewort were instructed to watch over [[Tamello De Fformelo Tussock]] and [[Midge Manycoats]], who were disguised as vermin. While Sneezewort gathered firewood, Lousewort was knocked out by the [[Long Patrol]] hares and woke up later to learn that they had escaped. Following the advice of [[Rinkul]], the two rats deserted the Rapscallions. Their fate is unknown.<br /> <br /> === Trivia ===<br /> * Lousewort is the common name for parasitic plants of the &#039;&#039;[[Wikipedia:Pedicularis|Pedicularis]]&#039;&#039; genus.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Villains]]<br /> [[Category:Rats]]<br /> [[Category:The Long Patrol Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Males]]<br /> [[Category:Characters]]</div>
