Pikkle Ffolger was a headstrong hare from Salamandastron whose best friend was the badger Mara. Rebelling against Lord Urthstripe, the two headed away from the mountain, where they met the vermin Klitch and Goffa, part of Ferahgo the Assassin's horde. When Pikkle and Mara returned, Urthstripe offered the two vermin food for one day, and then banished them from the mountain.
