Molayne McGurney

Molayne McGurney is a descendant of Stonehead McGurney and a messenger-bird of sorts. He first appears greeting Vanto Forgefire and Mirax Highreach Crumshaw. Later he's seen having tea with Korrina Forgefire and were chatting until Uhlrich Ffolger reports they ran out of Redwall-scones. Molayne offered to acquire a new stockpile, but Korrina suggested he save it for tomorrow. The next day, he keeps his word and flies off to Redwall.
Upon arriving at the abbey, he gets a good amount of scones, but when Fantina Dubbidge comes and believes Salamandastron will be in danger, Molayne more than believed it. So Fantina, along with Neomys and Corax, would deliver the scones as well as aid Salamandastron. Fantina's prediction came true when he returned to Salamandastron: it was suddenly besieged by Passel the Nasty, though it is not known if Molayne took part in the first battle that erupted. In the aftermath, he informs the fortress about Fantina's group coming to assist, even offering to bring her by air if they couldn't afford to wait, but Korrina felt it would be safer for him to leave at night. In the meantime Passel tries to bribe with prisoners, though Korrina and co manage to save them (Molayne himself didn't take part in it). During the night, he finds Korrina keeping an eye on the corsairs, who aren't leaving, and Molayne remarks they would be helpless without Passel, giving Korrina the idea to assassinate him. She also permits Molayne to go search for Fantina's whereabout, and he complies, neither of them knowing that Dashwing had eavesdropped and follows the owl.
Molayne does indeed find Fantina and her friends camping out in the nearby mountains, and quickly lets them know she was right all along. He immediately detects Dashwing's presence and the two birds get into a brawl, with Molayne winning. Reinvigorated, the mammals and their dinosaur steed Thon get back on the road while Corax accompanies Molayne on the wing. The two birds arrive just in time to find the corsairs squabbling with the guosim sent to Salamandastron. While Corax went to the fortress to get reinforcements, Molayne immediately joins the battle, but was spotted by Thickarm and lassoed in a Bolas. With his wings bounded, he could not remain airborne and as luck would have it, he happened to be positioned over a jagged rock and lands on it neck-first, killing him. He was later buried along with the other woodlander casualties.
==Appearance==
Like most birds, he goes natural and his weaponry are his beak and claws.
