A big, powerful ferret in the Juskarath clan, Vallug Bowbeast was feared for his skill with the bow and arrows. For many seasons, he was one of the most trusted assassins to Sawney Rath, and was the killer of Rillflag in the search for the Taggerung. After Sawney's death, Vallug was among the vermin selected to hunt Deyna the Taggerung with Gruven. Gruven was despised and soon Vallug, along with the weasel Eefera, deserted their comrades to search for the Taggerung on their own. Both Vallug and Eefera were tough and clever, and neither trusted the other.
