Yo Karr

From the Redwall Wiki Clone, your Redwall news and information resource.

Yo Karr was a giant eel worshipped by the Cavemob shrew tribe. They offered it sacrifices as they believed that otherwise younger eels or "elvers", which they consumed, would not return as a result. It lived in the water in the Cavemob's cave.

A sacrifice was determined by walking under a stalactite; if water dripped from the stalactite onto a shrew, that shrew was the next offering. Yo Karr was slain when one of Bodjev's daughters became the intended sacrifice. Tagg went into the lake and fought with it; he bit into the eel's neck and proceeded to stab it with the blade of Sawney Rath. As it had consumed many members of the Cavemob, the tribe did not bake it into pies like they had with previous eels; instead Yo Karr's carcass was rolled into the water where it lived.
