Mokug

Mokug was an old male golden hamster who was the personal slave of the Pure Ferret King Sarengo. He was favored because of his gold-colored fur, and resided at Riftgard since his youth.

Mokug was the only slave to accompany Sarengo and his son, Agarnu, on a sea journey to Mossflower Woods to pillage Redwall Abbey, going off from a map stolen from searats. However, the vermin decided to raid Brockhall first, as it was rumored to hold the treasure of the Badger Lords and because it was marked on the map, while the Abbey was not. However, the ruin was now home of the adder, Berussca, and her three children. Sarengo and the adder battled viciously, and ended up killing each other.

During the mayhem, Mokug escaped and made a permanent home hidden deep in Mossflower. After many seasons, he was discovered by Redwallers, who invited him to live with them. He gratefully accepted.

Mokug was a great help to Triss and her friends, and eventually returned with them to Riftgard to aid in liberating those still in captivity. At the end of the battle, Riftgard became a sanctuary for the newly-freed slaves and Mokug and Kroova Wavedog became the newly-appointed leaders. He also became the adoptive grandfather to the mouse Freedom.
