Muskar Muskar
Muskar Muskar was the male leader of the Muskar dormouse family, the husband of Lupinia Muskar, and the father of Pippat, Gretty, Wortle, Berrin, and Bappik Muskar. He confusingly had the same first and last names, and was slightly slow on the uptake most of the time, which was typical for father dormice.
The Muskars lived in a den under a tree which was taken over by a vermin band who forced the family to cook for them. The gang caught Wild Doogy Plumm and Yoofus Lightpaw, the latter of whom was already was acquainted with the dormice. Doogy, Yoofus, and Muskar battled the vermin and killed them, restoring peace to the dormouse family.
Muskar later accompanied Doogy to Yoofus' home after the latter had bolted, taking the drum made by Lady Melesme and fleeing. He volunteered to take care of Yoofus and Didjety Lightpaw's home while they were headed towards Redwall Abbey with Rockbottom, the Walking Stone.
