Mirdop
The Mirdop was a monstrous doll created by Fescue, Mildwort, Burnet, and Buttercup Mirdop for the purpose of frightening passing travelers. It had the body of a fox, the talons of an owl, a snakelike head, three googly eyes, and large teeth.
The Mirdop evidently worked, as even Martin the Warrior was scared by the creation. The sham was made of cloth and hung from a tree, with the voice being provided by the two younger rabbits, Burnet and Buttercup. They shouted into a hollow log to make their voices sound more imposing. Rose wrecked the creation. It was originally built by Fescue's great-grandfather.
Trivia
[edit]- In the 1994 Red Fox print edition of Martin the Warrior, it can be noticed that for a paragraph the name "Mirdop" becomes "Mirpod." It is first misspoken by Grumm, as are many words in molespeak, however the name is accidentally continued.
- Martin uses the name "Martin the Warrior" for the first time when describing himself to the Mirdop.
