History YMMV / Mattimeo

** [[TheHeavy Slagar the Cruel]], [[FromNobodyToNightmare formerly a wannabe thief and accidental murderer named Chickenhound]], reinvented himself as a kidnapper, slaver, and mass murderer. Capturing the children of the Abbeydwellers, and several others, Slagar plans to sell them into slavery in the nightmarish Kingdom of Malkariss, where they will be worked to death by a tyrant. Along the way, Slagar proves himself the [[BadBoss worst boss]] in the series when he runs Hairbelly through for complaining, hurls Wedgeback off a cliff for [[YouHaveFailedMe letting some slaves escape]], wrongly executes Vitch (who he had previously tried to sell into slavery) for talking to Matthias, and in his most impressive act of treachery, convinces his entire gang to slaughter one another, so that he can keep the profits for himself. Completely untrustworthy, and intent on one day [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betraying Malkariss as well]], Slagar is as underhanded and manipulative as Redwall's villains get.

** [[InsaneAdmiral General]] [[FeatheredFiend Ironbeak]], the fiercest fighter of the north, is a refined yet monstrous character who leads his followers to conquer Redwall Abbey. Arriving at the Sparra loft, Ironbeak massacres the [[WouldHarmASenior elderly]] and [[WouldHurtAChild baby]] sparrows who were left behind to take over and proceeds to launch attacks on the abbey. Upon taking Redwall over, Ironbeak reveals he intends to [[LeaveNoSurvivors massacre the population]], who are all innocent civilians and little children, at least one of them only a baby. When he attempts to attack the abbot, one of the abbey residents tries to protect him, prompting a furious Ironbeak to attempt to kill her on the spot.

* FridgeBrilliance: The Wearet, described as a hulking, primitive-looking beast like a cross of a weasel and ferret but with no visible ears and hardly any neck, greatly brings to mind a cynodont to those familiar with prehistoric life: cynodonts were primitive proto-mammals of the Triassic period that greatly resembled small carnivoran mammals, but notably lacked external ears as their ear bones were still part of their jawbone.
