Rangval the Rogue

Rangval the Rogue was a male squirrel resident of Mossflower Woods. He was loyal and resourceful, and a self-proclaimed rogue. Rangval lived in a small cavern hollowed out by a river that he called "Rogue's Retreat". He was an expert at building traps; his favorite one was Owch Mansions, a dead willow containing several hives of wasps and hornets. Rangval seemed to have a gift for communicating with these insects. If vermin blundered into the branches, which he would tie across the stream, the stinging insects would often kill or badly hurt with several stings.

Rangval carried four daggers as weapons, which he could readily use. The daggers were his pride and joy, and he dreaded the thought of someone stealing or using them.

He met Maudie Mugsberry Thropple on the River Moss while she sailed with the Guosim as they were pursued by Brownrats. Rangval saved them by tricking the vermin into Owch Mansions and led the vermin off of their trail. He fought at the Battle of the Plateau, after the battle was won he followed Gorath to his confrontation with Vizka Longtooth.

Later, when he was sailing on the Eulalia, he was the only one of the crew to get seasick. He became known as "Uncle Rangval" to Rowanbloom, as well as the "unofficial Scout in Charge to the Long Patrol."
