Commission from Xenowolf23 to Kelaiah of Ublaz Mad Eyes from the Redwall book Pearls of Lutra! Funny enough I've only drawn one other Redwall character before and it was the protagonist from the same book. I'm happy with how this came out, colors especially!

Trying to make a compilation of “good” vermin characters in Redwall, since I feel like the books get a little generalized in the idea that they’re always “all vermin are bad, all woodlanders are good” all the time. It is MOST of the time, but not as often as people say! Let me know if I forgot any, there’s a few of the later books that my memory is a little foggy on and I haven’t read Doomwyte or The Rouge Crew yet so I might have missed some characters from there.

Redwall - Squire Julian and Captain Snow (Captain Snow needs to be convinced, but still that’s better then most antagonists)

Mossflower - Gingivere and Sandingomm, old unnamed rat living alone on the beach (he was killed by seagulls and found by Martin and co), arguably Ashleg too, since he scarpered before the final fight and dreamed of living someplace peaceful. I think there’s also an argument for Verdauga, since even though he’s a conqueror he’s shown in a more positive light then Tsarmania, and Argular who seems like a neutral party at best but not actively malicious.

Martin the Warrior - maybe Wulpp? He gets spared by Brome

The Bellmaker - the LEGENDARY and beloved Blaggut

Outcast of Redwall - Bluefen obviously, but I guess we can include Veil in this (even though I really hate how his character was handled) Arguably the flock of crows attacking Swartt’s army as well, since they were doing it in revenge for their leader’s mother being killed.

Pearls of Lutra - Romsca, another legendary example. Graylunk as well; when he fled to Redwall he became good friends with Fermald the squirrel and trusted the pearls to her when he realized he was dying. I would also put forth an argument for Barranca (Romsca’s captain), since he seemed more interested in overthrowing Ublaz Mad Eyes to avenge his brother and because Ublaz was a dangerous, untrustworthy ruler rather then for a selfish desire for power.

The Long Patrol - I would say the two doofy foot soldiers Lousewort and Sneezewort, since they spend the whole book in over their head, don’t really hurt anyone, and then skedaddle before the final fight. 

Marlfox - the water rat soldiers of the Marlfoxes seem eager to throw their weapons into the lake and give up their lives as soldiers. It’s implied that though some of them relished the power they had in the army, most of them were there against their will.

Lord Brocktree - Groddil is a little ambiguous, but the book absolutely supports his vengeance for his family and bodily injuries when he pushes Ungatt Trunn out to sea.

 Taggerung - Sawney Rath is a REALLY fascinating character, who is a good if ruthless leader who genuinely cares for Tagg as a baby. He’s definitely a villain, with him ordering the death of Rillflag and Tagg’s kidnapping, but he has enough moments of genuine love for the kid that he becomes very engaging. The biggest injustice this book did was killing him off so soon, when they could have REALLY explored the depths of his and Tagg’s weird fucked up relationship.

Triss - Plugg Firetail and the crew of the Seascab. Again, not really GOOD per say, but Plugg was unusual in that he and his crew actively cared about each other and his crewmates were devastated when he was killed.

Loamhedge - Flinky and Crinktail are vermin mates who actually love each other! Flinky also ends up leading his group to a good location where they settle down permanently are implied to never resort to their previous bad ways again.

Rakkety Tam - We don’t know much about Askor, but he definitely is a far cry from the monster that is his brother. He comes off more as proud in the one scene we have of him, but not actively cruel. Same with their father, Dramz.

High Rhulian - while it’s definitely a stretch to call Lady Kaltag sympathetic (since she’s the queen of an island of slaves and all) her grief over the death of her son feels very real and visceral, as does her fall into madness over it; Especially when contrasted to the hare Cuthburt’s similar reaction to the death of his own daughter. And Jeefra is just so pathetic and his death is so brutal that it’s hard not to feel a little sorry for him.

The Sable Quean - Gliv and Lugg also aren’t really good people, but they fall into a similar category as Flinky and Crinktail, in that they’re mated vermin who actually love each other.

And just for fun, here’s some “bad” (or morally ambiguous) woodlander characters:

Mattimeo - Skan the shrew and his friends (abandoned the Guoism shrews to try and help Slagar, but he just made them slaves)

Mariel of Redwall - Pakatugg is pretty self interested for most of the book and pretty mean to Mariel, until his final stand with the Salamandastron hares at the end.

Salamandastron - Arguably Wild King MacPhearsome, just because it’s presented as a possibility that he’d kill Thugg and Dumble when they first hear about him

Martin the Warrior - FULL OF ‘EM TBH; we got the Pygmy Shrews (they keep slaves of their own and only free Martin and his friends because they saved the leader’s annoying son), the pack of murderous squirrels that make a game out of attacking people, the family of stuffy rabbits who try to scare travelers because they’re snobs, and the hedgehog who poisons people eating his cherries. And of course Druwp the bankvole slave who sells out the other slaves in exchange for food and luxuries. 

The Long Patrol - interestingly I would argue that The Long Patrol itself is shown in a pretty morally ambiguous light in this book; Cregga’s battlelust is feared even by her hares and her mad charge after the Rabscallions is disapproved of by many of her officers. The price they all pay for the battle is very high, with the death of several major characters and Cregga being blinded. Russa even tells Tammo on her deathbed that it’s alright if he doesn’t join the Long Patrol, because he isn’t battle hardened and harsh like them. Tammo is an interesting contrast to the Long Patrol hares, because he’s easily one of the most sensitive warrior main characters in the series and there’s an indication that both he and Russano change Salamandastron to be less warlike and more peaceful when they return there. 

Marlfox - Fenno the shrew, who kills Log-a-log, and the Gray One, a sly water vole who takes over Burble’s tribe and plans to steal the green stick from Song.

The Legend of Luke - Folgrim ate people

Lord Brocktree - while they are ultimately a force for good, I like how morally ambiguous Jukka was and how she and Fleetscut clashed over their ideals so often. Also Bucko is practically an antagonist until Dotti wins their competition.

Taggerung - Even though we never see him in person (alive), Nimbalo’s father is actively abusive, to the point where he’s driven both his wife and son away. Nimbalo does end up avenging him anyway though

Rakkety Tam - The Squirrel King and Queen are really not shown in a good light at alllll

Eulalia! - Orkwil Prink is a little shit hedgehog who gets banished from the Abbey for a season for stealing constantly. I remember finding him pretty unlikable, but in hindsight he does feel like a redo of Veil’s character if Veil actually learned any lessons (like Veil who was the son of a warlord, Orkwil was the son of thieves who abandoned him as a child)

“Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry- Devil on your back, I can never die!”

I recently finished reading Pearls of Lutra again and felt inspired to draw Ublaz Mad Eyes. This was really quick and done with a trackpad, so please excuse the low quality. I just wanted to get the basic idea down more than anything. I’ll revamp this in due time and it’ll look a thousand times better.

I know Ublaz doesn’t have yellow eyes, but I always pictured his eyes taking on a different color when he uses his hypnotic powers. That is what I tried to depict here.

Reading Redwall: Pearls of Lutra

Got to the part where Ublaz tries his ‘magic eyes’ on Martin... and it doesn’t work! It got me thinking that maybe the key to Ublaz’s ‘magic eyes’ is his own confidence pitted against the lack of confidence in others.

A messy sketch of Ublaz Mad Eyes and his snake. I haven’t taken the time to pull out my copy of Pearls of Lutra, so I don’t know how accurate the snake is...so I made it as generically snake-y as possible.

Who do you think would win in a fight- Ublaz Mad-Eyes or Asmodeus Poisonteeth?

Such a good question!

I'm pooling all my money on Asmodeus. As soon as the staring contest ends, Ublaz stands no chance!

#redwall #answered ask #ublaz madeyes #asmodeus poisonteeth

[kotir-propaganda]

Hi my name is Ublaz Mad Eyes and I have hypnotic eyes (that’s how I got my name) that are jet black and almond-shaped and I have a deadly pet coral snake (AN: if u don’t know what that is get da hell out of here!). I don’t have the Tears of All Oceans but I wish I did because I’d be a major fucking hottie. I’m a pine marten and my teeth are straight and white. I have fine brown fur. I’m also an Emperor, and I live on the isle of Sampetra where I’m the Emperor (I’m the Emperor). I’m royalty (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly robes. I love Holt Lutra and I steal all my clothes from there. For example, today I was wearing a green silk robe with a gold border. I was wearing a shark skin belt with a silver dagger with blue sapphires thrust into it. I was walking around Sampetra. It was warm and sunny so there was no rain, which I was very happy about. A lot of corsairs stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

What’s your current ranking of stupidest Redwall villains? I’m seeing a lot of references to a list

The list is not exactly a physical list, it’s more of a mental tally that I keep and the villains do move around quite a bit, depending mostly on what books I’m reading at any given moment. There are, however, certain constants:

Ublaz Mad Eyes is always first. Not only did he keep one of the most dangerous snakes in the world as a pet, he died because he stepped on it while showing off. That’s just. Very sad.

Vilu Daskar comes in second for choosing to tie someone who hated his mere existence with a blinding passion and had previously attempted to kill him with nothing but his bare teeth to the wheel of his ship, in a storm, heading into dangerous rocks. Didn’t just let him steer the ship, no, physically tied him to the wheel so no one else could steer the ship.

In third place, for similar reasons as our champion idiot, is Gabool the Wild. He also kept a dangerous exotic beast as a pet that turned out to be his downfall; however he took, like, the barest precautions to prevent that outcome, such as keeping it in a hole instead of just letting it chill in a room, and also he had no reason to assume Rawnblade would be able to throw it out of the hole and hit him directly. (It’s basically canon that if Martin hadn’t intervened Rawnblade would have died without throwing the scorpion, so.) He actually would have been much lower on the list, except he has sort of a hard time keeping track of who he has and has not killed, and that’s never a good quality in a warlord.

After this it gets a bit fuzzy. Badrang is in the top five or six, not because of any specific moment of monumental stupidity but more because he had probably more chances to avert his eventual fate than any other Redwall villain and he didn’t take any of them.

Gulo the Savage is in the top seven or eight. He’d be pretty high, except his particular approach to his work doesn’t really require much intelligence, so it’s not all that much of a weakness.

I’ve only read Taggerung once, but if memory serves one the the major villains in that had kind of a running gag revolving around his intelligence or lack thereof, so I tend to rank him pretty highly too.

The others bounce around a lot but Ferahgo the Assassin and Cluny the Scourge come in dead last. Slagar didn’t always make the wisest decisions but he was better prepared to attack Redwall than any other villain I think, so he’s pretty low on the list. It’s mostly a list of main villains but there’s a special place on it for General Ironbeak, who gets rated higher rather than lower because he hired a seer and then never listened to a word he said. Why on earth do you let him sit there and take up space and feed him if you’re not going to take his advice? If I had to put Asmodeus on the list he’d probably come in third from last because he was just minding his own business and had no reason to think anyone would come after the sword OR that Matthias would be able to break his hypnotic hold on him.

I remember almost no details from The Sable Quean, which I have also only read once, but I recall a name, Zwilt the Shade, and I feel very strongly that he should go higher on the list rather than lower. Something about being predictably stabbed in the back? Could be mistaken though. I literally don’t even remember this guy’s species. Also the main baddie from Doomwyte is in the top six for discussing his plans to turn on his ally within hearing of said ally. Again, could be mistaken, I’ve only read this book once and I remember very little.

The Marlfoxes are scattered across the list. You can’t really clump them together in terms of intelligence.

#redwall #hope this helps! #i do accept suggestions and criticisms and like i said the list is always changing #except ublaz he comes in first no matter what #and it would take a great deal to sway me from cluny and fehrago or however you spell it being last

[cursed-40k-thoughts]

Yo- Redwall? Urgan Nagru gets killed by being rammed into a tree so hard that the wolf-skull on top of his head punctures his actual skull? Ublaz Mad Eyes hypnotizes a guy to jump out his palace window ? Figalok Twigbenda kills an assassin by blowing his blowpipe dart back into his own throat? Redwall is METAL! I don't know why this stuff is for kids!

I remember reading about anthropormorphised monitor lizards eating people and a serial murdering death adder that kept invoking the name of Satan as it envenomed mice to death. That series was a fever dream. I’m also sure there was a psychotic wolverine who kept murdering and eating his own troops.

Excellent light reading for children, 10/10

Stupid Deaths (a study of Major Redwall Villains)

(Mariel of Redwall) Gabool the Wild—killed by pet scorpion

(Salamandasteon) Ferahgo the Assassin—let a badger hug him, thrown off a mountain

(Martin the Warrior) Badrang the Tyrant—killed by a slave (also, shout out to how he nearly died when his swordplay was outmatched by a squirrel with a stick)

(The Bellmaker) Urgan Nagru—killed by the teeth of a skull he wore as a helmet 

(Outcast of Redwall) Swartt Sixclaw—thrown off a mountain by a badger

(Pearls of Lutra) Ublaz Mad Eyes—killed by pet snake

(Marlfox) Silth—poisoned by own child while trying to poison said child;  Lantur—pushed off a cliff, eaten by a fish;  Mokkan—thrown off a boat, eaten by a fish;   Ziral—a squirrel stole her ax;   Gelltor—challenged a squirrel, but the squirrel had a rock;   Predak—accidentally jumped off a wall;   Vannan—an otter threw a pointy stick;  Ascrod—shot by a blind archer;

(The Legend of Luke) Vilu Daskar—literally tied his mortal enemy to the wheel of his ship. In a storm. By a bunch of big rocks.

(Lord Brocktree) Ungatt Trunn—let a badger hug him, pushed out to sea by an angry fox

(Taggerung) Sawney Rath—an angry lady had a rock

(Triss) King Agarnu—his slaves threw him in the ocean, throne and all;   Princess Kurda—fell on her favorite sword;   Prince Bladd—hit by a falling pot of oatmeal

(Loamhedge) Raga Bol—tried to fight an angry badger (got picked up by the badger, so maybe variation of letting a badger hug him)

(Rakkety Tam) Gulo the Savage—a squirrel had a sharp shield

(High Rhulain) Riggu Felis—he chucked a fancy rock at a bird, and an otter lass chucked it back

(Eulalia) Vizka Longtooth—let a badger hug him

(Doomwyte) Korvus Skurr (a bird)—flew straight into an angry lady who had a sharp pointy thing

(The Sable Quean) Zwilt the Shade—killed by a hostage;   Vilaya—fell on her own poisoned knife (also jumped on by an angry badger, so it may be a variation of letting a badger hug her)

(The Rogue Crew) Razzid Wearat—stabbed by a hedgehog and whacked with a stick

Who do you think would win in a fight- Ublaz Mad-Eyes or Asmodeus Poisonteeth?

They would have a stare contest of epic proportions!

I feel Ublaz has the edge if he catches Asmo in his gaze, as he has plenty of experience hypnotising venemous snakes. But Asmodeus is massive and deadly so if he can avoid Mad-Eyes' mad eyes he'll win easily.

#Thank you for the ask :) I should draw some Redwall stuff again some time #Redwall
