* AccidentalMurder: Badrang wasn't intending to kill Rose, just throw her off of him. It was her impact with the wall that did her in. Now, this being Badrang, it's not like he'd be disappointed in this result, but his dialogue makes it clear he's just trying to get away from her.

When you contrast this with Tsarmina, who succeeds him as Martin's main antagonist, or any of the other villains who actually managed to reign as kings for a few years, he starts to look decidedly unimpressive.

* CoolSword: He's the only villain to hang onto Martin the Warrior's sword for an entire novel, only losing it during his last battle with the hero. Though at the time it was technically Luke the Warrior's sword, having not yet been reforged into the talisman of the later books.
* DesperationAttack: When fighting Felldoh to show off for his troops and assuage his own pride, Badrang was humiliated and badly beaten, never even touching the squirrel. During the final Battle for Marshank, with his back against the wall and knowing it's do or die, he puts up a far more impressive performance, knocking out Grumm, killing Rose, and inflicting some injuries on Martin before being slain. It's stated in book that Badrang's strength is born of desperation--he knows he's dead if he doesn't get out of Marshank and his fear makes him more dangerous than he ever was before.



* KarmicDeath: Killed with the sword he stole by the mouse he stole it from and enslaved, and whose girlfriend he had just murdered.
* ManBitesMan: During his last duel with Martin, Badrang bites the mouse on the shoulder, tearing a chunk out of him.



* SpannerInTheWorks: Clogg ruins ''everything'' for Badrang, with his siege of Marshank enabling the slave revolt that the Tyrant might otherwise have put down.




to:

* VillainousFriendship: Clogg's very fond of his crew and they of him. When they switch over to Badrang, Clogg is extremely upset--and Boggs, Crosstooth, and Growch all assure him it's nothing personal; they're just trying to stay alive.

A former corsair and self-described tyrant, Badrang the stoat aims to become ruler of the entire Eastern Coast. To that end, he enslaves a veritable army of woodlanders, putting them to work erecting an impregnable fortress known as Marshank, which will defend the coastline from his rivals. In the process he captures a young Martin the Warrior and relieves him of his father's sword, taking it for himself. Prone to putting on airs, and convinced of his own superiority, Badrang trusts no one, least of all his former partner-in-crime, Tramun Clogg.

* FunnyAnimalAnatomy: The cartoon makes him look more like some kind of canine than like a [[https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=stoat&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=tHAOU6jjJ4SThgeiiYDADw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1368&bih=623 real stoat]].
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: He's called "The Tyrant" for a reason...
* OhCrap: His reaction when he realizes that a good percentage of the army fighting him are his former slaves - slaves he had beaten and starved - and that they're probably on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
* SlobsVsSnobs: The snob to Tramun Clogg's slob.
* SmugSnake: Pretty proud of his fortress and position there.
* VillainousBreakdown: After his OhCrap moment, all the fight goes out of them and he frantically tries to find a way to flee.
* WickedCultured: Deliberately affects an upperclass manner of speech in order to put his corsair past behind him.
* WouldHurtAChild: Ties Martin to the top of the fortress wall so that he'll die either in the storm or from birds the next morning. Felldoh also mentions that he was beaten by Badrang when he was not more than an infant.

!!Cap'n Tramun Josiah Cuttlefish Clogg (Cap'n Tramun Clogg)
[[quoteright:169:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clogg_2985.JPG]]

Badrang's one-time partner, Tramun Clogg is a grossly fat pirate stoat with an axe to grind against the tyrant of Marshank. Arriving on the Eastern Coast, Clogg attempts to wrest control of Marshank from Badrang, starting a war that, in the end, only helps the rebellious slaves.
----
* AffablyEvil: He's a bad guy, but he's right cheerful about it and willingly gives a drink to Ballaw.
* TheAlcoholic: Enjoys his drinks; Badrang once tries to poison him by putting a bottle near him when he's sleeping. Just take a look at the picture! Also, in the first episode of the third season in the animated series, he does a brief dance in front of his crew. In all honesty, it looks like he may have had one too many at that point.
* EvilVsEvil: With Badrang.
* FatSlob
* NeverLearnedToRead: Signs the peace treaty with an "X," which fits with his lower-class characterization.
* OverlyLongName: Most vermin have single-word two-syllable names; not good enough for him, evidently. He's also the only one shown to have anything resembling a normal human name ("Josiah").
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:He's rather crazy by the end.]]
* SlobsVsSnobs: His entire war with Badrang comes off as a villainous version of this, with fat, drunken Clogg as the slob, and snooty, arrogant Badrang as the snob.
* TheUnfought: Survives the events of the novel, but escapes being a KarmaHoudini by dint of [[spoiler: having gone quite thoroughly insane.]]

!!Crosstooth

A corsair fox in Clogg's crew, Crosstooth switches his services over to Badrang after the pirate stoat is defeated by the Tyrant. An experienced fighter, Crosstooth does a lot of damage during the battle for Marshank, before being slain by Martin and Queen Amballa.
----
* {{Badass}}: The only villain in the book--including Badrang--to give a good account of himself, killing numerous pygmy shrews and pinning Queen Amballa, before being jumped from behind by Martin.
* BladeOnAStick: Favours a long-handled spear.
* CunningLikeAFox: He's a lot smarter than Clogg.

A badger and one of the leaders of the Rambling Rosehip Players.
----
* TheBigGuy: Since she's a badger, she's rather large and strong compared to everyone else, and she's the one pulling/pushing the cart all the time.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: Says this to the Players and slaves when all hope seems lost.
* TeamMom: To the Players.

!!Celandine
[[quoteright:165:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/celandine_1981.JPG]]
A squirrelmaid member of the Rambling Rosehip Players.
----
* DistressedDamsel: Plays the part of one in a show, and when she gets lost, the first thing she does is pitifully call everyone's names and then cry.
* LargeHam: Extremely hammy in both her performances and real life.
* NonActionGuy: When everyone else is training for battle, she sniffs that they're all just going to get hurt or get rough paws from handling the weapons. She gets put on kitchen duty instead.
* TheTease: Flirts with everyone - another of the Players jokes that she's even seen Celandine fluttering her eyelashes at butterflies.

!!Dinjer

A baby pygmy shrew, son of the leader, Queen Ambala.
