Asmodeus Poisonteeth



Asmodeus Poisonteeth is a giant adder and one of the main antagonists of the book Redwall as well as the first season of the Redwall TV series.

For many seasons Asmodeus terrorized Mossflower Woods, attacking and eating the woodlanders. He was somewhat of a legend however, and very few knew if he existed. The young mouse warrior Matthias learned that years ago, Asmodeus had stolen the powerful Sword of Martin, and kept it with him in his cave. Matthias tracked down the snake and found his home; a huge sandstone quarry filled with tunnels. Matthias eventually found Asmodeus asleep, and quickly took back the sword. But the adder awoke and chased Matthias and his shrew friend Log-a-Log through his caverns, cornering them against a wall. Matthias was forced to fight, and he killed Asmodeus by stabbing him in the head several times after a great mental struggle against the snake's infamous hypnotic power.

Asmodeus continued to be a legend, and his descendants tormented Mossflower Woods for years to come.
