For a brief moment he remembers who he was and what he was doing only to die, the illustration makes it tragic for a villain who as far as we knew was scum of the Earth. Twig even understands the logic in the madness: Tollinix was a Knight of Sanctaphrax, failing a stormchase was failing their life, he thought gettign the phrax from under his victims toes could work but as the years went it was never enough to wash over his failures and the current atrocities he is making to save face, so he never stopped.

** The banderbear jerked abruptly upright and stumbled over to a tall tree. Twig felt its huge paws round his waist as it pulled him from its shoulders and placed him high up into the branches of the tree, far out of reach of the bloodthirsty wig-wigs.
‘T-wuh-g,’ it said. ‘Frenz.’
‘You climb up too,’ said Twig. But as he looked back into the banderbear's sad eyes, he knew that would never be possible.
The wig-wigs bit into the banderbear's legs again and again until finally with a low moan, the huge beast toppled down to the ground. Its body was immediately covered with the vicious creatures.
Twig's eyes filled with tears. He turned away, unable to look. He clamped his hands over his ears but couldn't shut out the cries of the banderbear as it battled on.
Then the Deepwoods fell silent. Twig knew it was all over.
‘Oh, banderbear,’ he sobbed. ‘Why? Why? Why?’
He wanted to jump down, knife unsheathed, and kill every single one of the wig-wigs. He wanted to avenge the death of his friend. Yet he knew all too well that there was not a thing he could do.
Twig wiped his eyes and looked down. The wig-wigs had gone. And of the banderbear, there wasn't a trace to be seen, not a bone, not a tooth or claw, not a single scrap of mossy fur. From far away there came the forlorn yodelling call of a distant banderbear. Time after time its heartrending cry echoed through the trees.
Twig held the tooth around his neck tightly in his hand. He sniffed. ‘It can't answer you now,’ he whispered tearfully. ‘Or ever again.’
‘T-wuh-g,’ it said. ‘Frenz.’
