Furgle Woodvole the Hermit

Furgle the Hermit was a white-bearded, wise old woodvole inhabitant of Mossflower Woods who encountered Samkim and Arula while they were searching for Dingeye and Thura, who had stolen Martin the Warrior's sword from Redwall Abbey. He traveled with them a short ways and found the body of Thura who had apparently died of Dryditch Fever.

The Hermit then left young Samkim and Arula and reported the events to Abbess Vale, specifically about the spread of Dryditch Fever. He later advised the elders on the only cure for Dryditch Fever, the Flowers of Icetor, found in the Northern Mountains.

Not to be confused with Furgale.
