- Yrael is the eighth of the Nine Bright Shiners. In The Beginning, Yrael chose to not take a stance against Orannis, and yet chose not to work with him, but went into hiding. The Seven bound Orannis and joined to create the Charter, but also found and bound Yrael in the form of Mogget. Yrael did not become one of the bells, yet has the ability to shape shift into many different forms, one being a small white cat; the other known form to be a small albino man with sharp teeth, a taste for fish, and incredible strength.

| - Yrael has taken many shapes, a few of which are known. His most prevalent form in the trilogy is that of a small white cat, which is apt since he is rather cynical or 'catty'. He is also seen as a short waisted albino man with green eyes and incredible strength. Much like an ant carrying more than it's own weight, he showed his strength in Abhorsen when he picked up Nicholas Sayre. Regardless of his form, he mainly loves to eat fish, be an annoyance and help at the very last moment. When freed the second time in Sabriel he is rebound by Ranna because Saraneth was destroyed. Essentially, he was bound with the Sleepbringer instead of The Binder - despite Ranna being weaker. However, Ranna is said to "hold tightly when she must". Thus he is always very sleepy, demanding to be carried around in arms, or usually a pack (e.g. throughout Lirael and Abhorsen, he rides in Prince Sameth's pack). He is also able to use the miniature Ranna on his collar to induce weariness in others. Of course, despite his murderous tendancies, there is some good in this cynical cantankerous creature: in Abhorsen Prince Sameth removes his collar at the last moment of the Binding of Orannis, thus freeing Mogget and returning him to his pure Free Magic form. This ultimately saves the world, as instead of Seven binding the feared destroyer Orannis, there are Eight. Mogget chose to be neutral in the beginning, but he rescinds his actions, choosing more wisely for: "Life. Fish and fowl, warm sun and shady trees, the field mice in the wheat, under the cool light of the moon." He proves to like life more than the power of destruction thus saving the Clayr, Wallmaker, Abhorsen, and Royal bloodlines present, as well as the rest of the world and universe which Orannis would destroy. As due reward, Sabriel frees Mogget in the end with Belgaer, giving him the choice of will, to do as he pleases, hopefully for good; releasing him of his servitude to the Abhorsen forever more.
- Yrael is the eighth of the Nine Bright Shiners. In The Beginning, Yrael chose to not take a stance against Orannis, and yet chose not to work with him, but went into hiding. The Seven bound Orannis and joined to create the Charter, but also found and bound Yrael in the form of Mogget. Yrael did not become one of the bells, yet has the ability to shape shift into many different forms, one being a small white cat; the other known form to be a small albino man with sharp teeth, a taste for fish, and incredible strength. When in the form of Mogget the cat, he wears a red leather collar with a miniature Saraneth bell in Sabriel, and Ranna in Lirael and Abhorsen . The collar is his binding to the line of the Abhorsens, his punishment for not taking the side of the Seven against Orannis. When in the form of the albino, who has a name which is not revealed in the trilogy, he wears a white robe capable of cleaning itself (in Abhorsen, the robe had blood spilled on it, which then disappeared as he walked away) and a red sash about his waist, which has a miniature bell hanging from it too. The albino has hands, and Mogget used his hands to stop the bell from sounding in order to use the second chance Astarael gave him, and to catch up with Lirael, Sam and the Dog. However, Yrael was released at Orannis' second binding by Sam, to allow him to choose again with whom he would side. He chose to throw his lot in with the binders and stood against Orannis to bind him anew. After the binding of the Destroyer, Yrael was released from his servitude using Belgaer, the Thinker. He chose to go north. The Nine Bright Shiners
