Smudger was a male otter Dibbun of Redwall Abbey. When the group of abbey-dwellers ventured into the attic during Brinty, Tribsy, Girry, Sister Snowdrop, and Old Quelt's search for the clues to the High Rhulain in the the Geminya Tome, Smudger perched atop Banjon Wildlough's shoulders. After Banjon set him down, Smudger was bold enough to try and run up the rickety old stairs leading to the upper attics, but Abbess Lycian grabbed him just in time. Following this, Sister Doral had to keep the rambunctious otterbabe from clambering out of the windows.
