Redwall Wiki | Brian Jacques and Redwall Information

Parug was the searat bosun aboard the Goreleech. He was unintelligent and ill-tempered, prone to lash out against members of the lower decks. His duties as a bosun included running the crew and anchor, as well as acting as second mate. He was also in charge of the punishment of the deckhands. Along with Bullflay the slavemaster and Akkla, the ferret steersbeast who acted as first mate, Parug was among those whom the Goreleech's captain, Vilu Daskar, sought council with, even if the Sea Rogue leader was often frustrated by the rat's lack of coherent thought. Parug is also described as a stolid character, and less gullible than most others aboard the ship.

When Beau and Vurg began stealing from the ship, Parug was asked to speculate as to who was responsible for the thefts. He suggested that it was the "Sea Bogle," which Daskar ridiculed. However, since the Sea Bogle was a fraud perpetrated by Beau, Parug was indeed correct. He was in charge of punishing the "thieves," who were actually framed by Beau.

Parug observed the Sea Bogle later in the voyage. Beau pressed a piece of sailcloth with a poem on it into Parug's paw. Since he was illiterate, he allowed the lower deckhand Grigg to read it. During the final battle for the Goreleech, Parug, along with Akkla, rallied the crew to the captain. It is unknown whether he was killed in Ranguvar Foeseeker's attack, or drowned; however, he certainly did die.
