| - Gabool the Wild was the self-proclaimed king of all searats, his titles included King of Searats, Lord of Terramort Island, Captain of Captains, Warlord of All Rodent Corsairs and Warlord of All Waters. He wore a red cloak and gold earrings, and his beard was tied with blue and red silken ribbons. He also had gold teeth studded with emeralds. His primary weapon was a rare double-edged cutlass. As a youth, Gabool captained the Ratwake with his second-in-command Greypatch. Later, Gabool ruled from Fort Bladegirt on the island of Terramort. One of his fleet captured Mariel Gullwhacker, her father Joseph, and his bell en route to Salamandastron. Gabool was a ruthless rat, killing off allies he believed to be enemies right and left. This led to the desertion of Greypatch. Eventually, Gabool's obsession with interpreting symbols on the stolen bell descended into insanity. His dreams were haunted by Rawnblade Widestripe and every night he was awakened by the bell sounding mysteriously on its own. These continued nightmares caused Gabool to become more dangerous than ever. It was then that the escaped oarslaves, Rawnblade, Mariel, Dandin and Durry Quill, launched an attack upon Fort Bladegirt. After pursuing Gabool through Fort Bladegirt, Rawnblade Widestripe fell into a pit with the rat's pet, Skrabblag, but with the help of the spirit of Martin the Warrior he threw the scorpion at Gabool, which proceeded to kill him out of hatred for seasons of imprisonment. The scorpion was then slain by Dandin using The Sword of Martin.
- Gabool the Wild is an anthropomorphic rat and the main villain of the Redwall series book, Mariel of Redwall. Gabool was the King of all Searats, and the ruler of the island of Terramort. He commanded a fleet of corsair ships, all crewed by searats. Gabool was a skilled fighter and tactician, who always thought ahead. He stole a huge bell from the ship of Joseph the Bellmaker, and threw the old mouse and his daughter Mariel into the sea, keeping the bell. Despite Gabool's cunning and skill, he was veritably insane, killing off his own captains when he falsely thought they were plotting against him. This lead to the desertion of his second-in-command rat, Greypatch. Gabool also became obsessed with the bell he stole, treating it like a living thing and constantly trying to interpret the symbols engraved on it. He began having nightmares, and awoke to the sound of the bell being tolled; even though it had not been touched. Gabool also had a huge black scorpion, Skrabblag, that he had captured years before, and kept it in a pit hidden under a carpet. Several times one of his captains came to report to him, he mistook them for Greypatch, whom he hated for deserting, and tricked them into falling into the scorpion's pit, where they were killed. Eventually, a gathering of Gabool's escaped oar slaves, lead by Joseph and Mariel, who had survived, and the Badger Lord Rawnblade, mounted an attack against Terramort. Joseph, Mariel, Rawnblade and some others entered Gabool's fortress, where he led them into the room where the scorpion pit lay. Gabool tricked Rawnblade into falling into the pit. Skrabblag attacked the badger, but he threw the scorpion up out of the pit where it landed on Gabool. The scorpion latched onto its captor and repeatedly stabbed him in the skull with its deadly stinger. Gabool died instantly from the venom.
