The bad guys

The bad guys, or vermin as they're called in Redwall, are totally evil. They kill and torture needlessly. They pillage and burn. They are power-hungry bullies. They'll kill each other for an extra pawful of loot. They relish in the suffering of others. Back-stabbers and assassins, the whole lot of them. They are like many people who will kill to come to power, who value money more than friends.
