Ungatt Trunn

Ungatt Trunn was the notorious male wildcat warlord leader of the Blue Hordes. He was the son of King Mortspear, elder brother of Verdauga Greeneyes, uncle of Tsarmina and Gingivere Greeneyes, and a distant relative of Squire Julian Gingivere. Trunn's list of titles included "Ruler of the Earth," "The Fearsome Beast," and "The Earth Shaker," however any title including his father's name was rejected, as seen when Grand Fragorl mentioned him being "The Son of King Mortspear." His weapons of choice were a trident and a cutlass.

Trunn claimed to derive a great deal of his knowledge from spiders. His leadership style hardly reflected that, with capricious promotions and almost paranoid executions. However, he was a cunning and skillful commander, amongst the few vermin attackers ever to successfully breach the mountain fortress of Salamandastron, and the only one to actually conquer it. Trunn was a skilled fighter, being one of the few villains who was able to take on a badger on even terms.

In battle, he used sheer numbers - and intimidation derived thereof - as his most powerful weapon. Trunn's most trusted associates were the Grand Fragorl, High Magician Groddil, Captain in Chief Karangool, and Captain Ripfang. He called any creature who wasn't in his hordes "lesser orders" and considered himself better than them. His horde members fought in a zealot-like style, hurling themselves at their enemies regardless of their own lives.

One of Trunn's battle strategies involved tricking his enemies into believing the stars had fallen from the sky. He accomplished this by having every horde member carry a torch, which was to be lighted upon a signal from Groddil. The intensity of the light made the stars no longer appear to be visible to the eye.

He was defeated in battle by Lord Brocktree, who crippled the wildcat by snapping his spine and tossed him into the sea. He later regained consciousness and washed up on shore some distance away, where Groddil was sitting. The groggy Trunn mistook Groddil for Karangool and begged for help, only to find out he was dealing with the much less loyal fox.

Groddil, perhaps in retribution for Trunn killing his family in the past or for throwing him in the cellars of Salamandastron, allowed the wildcat to be washed out to sea, where he presumably drowned.
