* AnthropomorphicShift: Not in shape, but in culture. The moles live underground and eat worms, but can also read and write, and get into some serious philosophy, particularly regarding religion.



* DarkIsEvil: Rune is described as having a black shiny coat, with just as dark eyes to match.
** Mandrake's fur is also quite dark too.

Not approved by the Complete Monster Clean-Up Thread. All candidates must be approved by the thread first before they can be labeled as a Complete Monster.


* CompleteMonster: RUNE. He starts the book mildly evil with a cryptic statement that any mole who opposed him has the odd habit of disappearing mysteriously, often caught by owls. From there, he escalates. In Duncton Wood he's merely a TreacherousAdvisor who manages to put a brutish dictator in power and then becomes the dictator himself. [[spoiler: In Duncton Quest, he turns out to be the leader of the evil system of the Whern cult, also father and mate to the Big Bad Henbane.]] What a crook!
