Rab Streambattle
Rab Streambattle was the male otter leader of the otter guard in Southsward. He was the husband of Iris Streambattle. After Gael Squirrelking ignored his advice on not letting Urgan Nagru into Castle Floret, Rab left, taking his entire otter guard with him. Later, when Castle Floret was captured, Rab fought the enemy horde with Muta, so that the others could escape. Together, they escaped alive but badly injured. Iris believed that he died during the encounter, but later Mariel found him and Muta with Egbert the Scholar, unable to talk and severely wounded.
Rab and Muta later helped Mariel capture the gatehouse within the castle. After he met up with Iris, he returned to his normal self and began speaking again. When Silvamord tried to escape from Castle Floret by jumping into the moat, Rab jumped in after her and killed her in the water, most likely by holding her under the water until she drowned.
