'''Tarul''' was a male raven member of [[Korvus Skurr]]'s [[Doomwytes|Raven Wytes]]. He was the brother of [[Frang (Doomwyte)|Frang]], [[Purz]], and [[Murig]].

Tarul participated in the nocturnal assault on [[Redwall Abbey]], with the aim of taking a [[Dibbuns|Dibbun]] hostage. When this plan failed, Tarul did not retreat with the others, but instead hid himself in [[The Bell Tower|the Bell Tower]], waiting for an opportunity to complete the mission. It turned out not to be the best of hiding places; every time [[Umfry Spikkle]] rang the [[Joseph Bell|bells]], Tarul experienced enormous headaches.

One day, [[Furff]] and a very tiny [[Mousebabe (Doomwyte)|infant mouse]] went to the Bell Tower to ring the bells; they were not strong enough, and struggled with the ropes for some time. Tarul saw his chance of taking a captive and prepared to swoop down on them; just as he leaned outward, [[Sister Violet]] arrived suddenly and helped the young ones ring the bells. The rims struck the raven's outstretched head, killing him instantly. His body fell from the Bell Tower. Tarul's corpse was thrown in the ditch outside of the Abbey, where it was eaten by [[Baliss the Slayer]].

===Trivia===
*Tarul is one of two characters known to be killed by a Redwall Abbey bell or bells; the first was [[Cluny the Scourge]].
