Species: Rat Place of Origin: Unknown Gender: Male Weapon: a stick Death: Killed when he was struck by the bolas of Slagar the Cruel.
Books Appears: Mattimeo

Vitch was a rat in Slagar the Cruel's gang who was accepted into Redwall Abbey because of his small size. The Redwallers thought he was a young mouse, and because of this he was able to spy, though Mattimeo was suspicious of his true identity.

None of the Abbey's children liked him, especially not Mattimeo, who was angered enough by the rat to fight with him. When they were kidnapped by Slagar, Vitch constantly taunted the captive young ones, especially Mattimeo.

Upon arrival at the Kingdom of Malkariss, Slagar offered the unwilling Vitch servitude in the ranks of black-robed rats. However, since he was not born to be one, he was instead made a slave.

Finally, when Malkariss's Kingdom collapsed underground, Vitch was able to get out alive. But before he could escape he was killed by Slagar, who threw his bolas at the rat, choking him to death.
