'''Mighty Megraw''' was a male osprey. He had white and brown plumage and golden savage eyes. Megraw ate fish and was very partial to pike. He was a fierce bird, though for the most part well-mannered. Megraw had little to no sense of humor, once driving several creatures out into a rainstorm for jokingly calling him "binnaclebeak". Like many birds of prey, he spoke with a strong northern accent.

Mighty Megraw was a wanderer, and during his travels he discovered the [[Big Inland Lake]]. He attempted to settle on [[Marlfox Island|the isle]] in its center, but was attacked one night by magpies under the command of [[Athrak]] and [[Silth|High Queen Silth]]; the birds flew upon him while he was sleeping and drove him away, badly injuring his wing in the process. After his escape, he settled near the top of a huge waterfall, far away from the lake.

Megraw befriended [[Abbess Songbreeze Swifteye|Songbreeze Swifteye]], who tried to save him when he accidentally fell into the falls; the pair was swept over the edge, but they were rescued by a cormorant. The two traveled together for a time, meeting with Song's grandfather [[Gawjo Swifteye]] and his "family" of hedgehogs, and later [[Dannflower Reguba]] and his friends [[Burble]] and [[Dippler]].

Megraw and Song joined forces with the band, traveling with them back to Marlfox Island. Gawjo healed Megraw's wing, which had been dislocated by Athrak and his magpies. At first, Megraw didn't want to fly when others were watching him, but he overcame his shyness and put on quite an impressive display of flight for Song and her friends.

Upon arriving at Marlfox Island, the vengeful osprey killed Athrak and his colony for injuring his wing. After the [[Marlfoxes]] were defeated, Megraw ascended to the island's throne as king, ruling the water rats who lived there and eating the pike that swam in the lake.

===Trivia===
*Megraw and [[Pandion Piketalon]] (''[[High Rhulain]]'') are the only ospreys who appear in the ''Redwall'' series.
