A big, powerful ferret in the Juskarath clan, Vallug Bowbeast was feared for his skill with the bow. He was possibly the most skilled with a bow in the entire Redwall series; it was said of him that he could hit a dragonfly on the wing. For many seasons he was one of the most trusted assassins to Sawney Rath, and was the killer of Rillflag in the search for the Taggerung. After Sawney's death, Vallug was among the vermin selected to hunt the Deyna the Taggerung with Gruven. Gruven was despised, and soon Vallug, along with the weasel Eefera, deserted their comrades to search for the Taggerung on their own. Both Vallug and Eefera were tough and clever, and neither trusted the other.
Their search brought them south to Redwall Abbey. They assumed that the Taggerung was inside, so they made a simple but effective plan: Vallug would snipe away at the Redwallers on the walls, and they would demand the return of the Taggerung. Unfortunately the Redwallers had no idea who the Taggerung was, but Vallug and Eefera did not believe them, and the sniping continued for a while.
Meanwhile, Gruven eventually found his way to Redwall Abbey. He and his partners Dagrab and Rawback were captured by Vallug and Eefera, who made them do their work.
Finally, Deyna did come out, mad with fury, and Vallug was decapitated in the consequent battle. Previously, an arrow fired by the ferret wounded then Badger Mother Lady Cregga Rose Eyes, who subsequently died.
