'''Ripfang''' was the male [[corsair|sea rat]] captain of the ''[[Bloodwake]]''. His left fang was abnormally long, hence his name. Cunning and clever, he took many slaves from different vessels, including tribe members of [[Log-a-Log]] [[Big Club]], as well as [[Timballisto]]. Unlike other corsairs, Ripfang was unafraid of [[Salamandastron (place)|Salamandastron]], and personally scouted out the mountain prior to launching a massive attack.<br />
<br />
Despite his best efforts, Ripfang was crushed to death by [[Boar the Fighter]] when the badger fulfilled a prophecy written on Salamandastron's walls, dying in the process.<br />
<br />
===Brian Jacques on Ripfang===<br />
In a [[Redwall.org]]-hosted question-and-answer session with [[Brian Jacques]], he was asked "In ''Mossflower'' there is a searat captain Ripfang. In ''[[Lord Brocktree]]'' there is another searat captain [[Ripfang (Lord Brocktree)|Ripfang]]. Are both these searat captains the same animal?" by a reader.<br />
<br />
He responded: "No, it's just a coincidence." <br />
