Sergeant Sapwood was a boxing hare sergeant in the Long Patrol who served under the Badger Lords Urthstripe the Strong and Urthwyte the Mighty. When Mara and Pikkle left Salamandastron with Klitch and Goffa, Sapwood and Big Oxeye went to protect them. He found that Klitch and Goffa had been leading them into a trap, and so warned Mara and Pikkle. While they escaped, Sapwood led the vermin off and eventually made it back to the mountain.
