* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: [[spoiler:Once the last Marlfox is dead, the water rats under their command happily celebrate their newfound freedom, throw their weapons into the lake, and settle down to become farmers.]]
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: As they themselves note, treachery runs in the Marlfox brood. Even before the book began, Silth and her unnamed mate backstabbed and wiped out the regular foxes that helped them conquer what is now Marlfox Island, and Silth then turned on her mate over a leadership dispute. Over the course of the book, their plotting against each other does about as much damage to themselves as the Redwallers do to them.
* MeaningfulName: "Marl" is an earthy material rich in clays, silt, and calcium carbonate, giving it a grey color similar to how the Marlfoxes' fur is described.

* OpportunisticBastard: As intelligent as Mokkan is, the trait that most leads to his success is his ability to spot any part of a situation that will further his schemes or his survival and pounce on it like a cat.
