The Marlfoxes were a mysterious brood of foxes with pale eyes and mottled silver-white fur, rumored to possess magical powers of invisibility and immortality. These rumors were apparently perpetuated by their very real stealth capabilities. Only one family of Marlfoxes appears in the series, though presumably more have existed in the past. Silth and her descendants all died either in battle or due to their own treachery during a conflict with Redwall Abbey. This most likely marked the end of the Marlfox race.
