Thrugg
Thrugg was a male otter resident of Redwall Abbey. He was the brother of Thrugann. When the Abbey was stricken by the deadly Dryditch Fever, Thrugg set out to find the potential cure, the Flowers of Icetor, in the Northern Mountains. The Dibbun dormouse Dumble followed him, and Thrugg reluctantly agreed that he could come along on the journey, despite the young one annoying him.
During his quest, he defeated a roving band of foxes who tried to rob them, as well as a large group of crows whose territory the pair passed through (with the help of Laird Mactalon's clan). When Dumble was injured, Thrugg went into what some may consider a state of Bloodwrath and drove off the crows, albeit temporarily.
Thrugg was a fierce fighter and fearless warrior who was willing to go to any lengths to save his beloved Redwallers. He demonstrated this passion when he stood up to Wild King MacPhearsome so that he could retrieve the Flowers of Icetor growing near his nest.
Thrugg and Dumble returned to Redwall with the plant and brought along their new friends, MacPhearsome and a clan of falcons. Tudd Spinney presented Thrugg with a specially carved spoon and bowl constructed out of apple wood with his name on it, which Friar Bellows promised would be filled with Hotroot Soup any time he wanted as a reward for saving the Abbey residents.
