Rats (Redwall Series)

Rats are the most common villians in the Redwall book series, as well as the TV series based on it.

Description
Rats are rodents closely related to mice, but bigger. There are several different types; including sea rats, sewer rats, tavern rats, water rats, dockside rats, and woodland rats.

They were, without notable exeption, vermin (barbarians). They were often quite feral, even cannibalistic, and tended to be hordes beasts. They were the most common race of vermin, and often the lowest ranking. This is due to the fact that they tended to be weak and/or stupid, with several being defeated by one warrior.

History
Martin the Warrior

There were many rats in the horde of Badrang the Tyrant, an infamous Northland stoat. Most of them were probably sea rats due to the fact that Badrang and his vermin were pirates before settling on the North Eastern Coast and founding Marshank. There, they built a mighty fortress by use of slaves they captured on their many exploits. The fortress was never fully constructed, and was meant to be the foundation of Badrang's empire.

There were also many sea rats in the crew of Troman Cuttlefish Clog, another great stoat pirate, and a former friend of Badrang. But he came to Marshank to take a great deal of its slaves. When Badrang refused to give Clogg anything, the two hordes became enemies. But Badrang eventually beat Clogg and captured his crew. When given the choice between death, slavery, and recruitment, they joined the ranks of Badrangs army.

After Martin the Warrior and his alliance conquered the fortress of Marshank, many (perhaps most) of Badrang's vermin were slain, and the rest driven off.
