right|300pxZonder Banksnout is a male otter dibbun and descendant of Ruddle Banksnout.
==Biography==
===Invasion of Bugs===
At one point, his parents were eaten by an adder, and Zonder thought he'd be next, but was ultimately spared, and he began living in Redwall since.
He first appears helping Alzbeta Grang raid the kitchen, and avoid Bairdon Bardwing in the process. In the evening he was watching Kav Furrel and Jala Furrel catch a fish, then took part in the feast where he got to eat a portion of said fish.
Later the next day, he was practicing his swimming and fish-hunting under the watch of Wetface, then goes to play with Alzbeta's brother Ganner Grang, at least until Wuya the Toxic attacked the abbey. At night, when the danger passed, he went out and played in the rain, but it was interrupted by an argument between Koga and his son Darovit, and Zonder watched it from a window, and then followed Darovit after he stormed off into the rain, taking pity on the vole. He secretly follows until Darovit arrived at a postern and left through it. Briefly Zonder wondered if he should tell an adult, but it was quickly forgotten when his bladder opened up to pee. Afterwards he was ready to go inside and was attended by Scarlette Broadstripe.
The next night, he was watching Kav train with Alzbeta until he peed against his will again, and to his dismay, Scarlette decides to bath him, though not before advising him stand up when urinating from now on. He isn't seen again after this, though it can be assumed he was a prisoner when Darovit let Wuya into the abbey, and after being freed took shelter with the civilians until it passed. 
===Parus Rides Again===
He and Ganner remain friends even into adolescence. Upon entering puberty, his penis began puffing up and showing itself constantly, bringing embarrassment to him whenever he's around girls or younger children, but refuses to wear clothes on the account they make him itch, much to Ganner's annoyance. One day, he and Ganner left the abbey because Zonder's genital was pumped up again. After getting it under control, Koor then comes to ask for their aid in reprimanding Freja Furrel, which they answer, and Ganner finds her in a bush with a honey-jar belonging to Vakama Foeseeker, which he confiscates. Later in the evening, he and Ganner were helping Koor and Erinaceus Quill set up a little arena for demo fights, but Zonder had to excuse himself again when his nether-regions expose themselves again, then later caught a fish for the party scheduled for tonight. He attended the party himself when the "Aeronauts" circus arrived and did a show, but once more felt himself get an erection and excused himself, with Ganner following him. By luck, due to leaving their seats, the duo ultimately avoided being knocked out by the sleep powder that was doused on everyone else, but due to being witnesses, the circus knocked them out by force and chose to kidnap them along with Freja.
He wakes up the next morning and finds all three were prisoners along with several more, and the circus leader enters and reveals herself to be Parus the Manipulator: the great-tit who tried to rob Redwall seasons earlier and who Myotis has a grudge against. Zonder in particular remembers Parus completely from back then, and had thought she was killed by Wuya. Parus later has them march off to the south, where he gets to know Kasper. Unfortunately he gets yet another erection during the trek, and worse, Freja saw it, but luckily, the woodpecker Whitebelly comes to his aid, where he explains it's what boys pee out of, and Zonder agrees while revealing it to be his "peeing tentacle", though the name he came up with got him laughed at, and Parus became concerned for it, making Zonder fearful that she'll remove it, but she has a worse fate for him: sex-slave. They stop momentarily and acquire Russell Swordmaid, who comments on the otter race's habit of going natural. 
The next morning, he gets his first wet-dream, and naturally was embarrassed by it and clueless as to what the white goo was. It got worse when the ferret Linda and Russell catch him in it, but both agree to keep it a secret, especially from Freja. Zonder also noticed that the two were getting feelings for each other, though wasn't sure if it would work or be accepted. Later in the day, they set off in a swamp, where Zonder could scrub the evidence of his little sleeping-incident, and later the group get attacked by toads, but survive. When Parus decides to backtrack to forge an alliance with the toads and see if they were being followed, Russell takes Botaurus' dagger and frees all five of them, then they try to escape into the water, only for Ganner to blow their cover with a scream, forcing them to dive madly, and while this did get the slavers' attention, the five ultimately got away. Making their way back, they heard the sounds of a battle, along with woodlander battle-cries. They also witness the Baryonyx rise from the marsh and attack their would-be rescuers, stumbling across its nest in the process. They continued to find their saviors and the dinosaur, but none knew that Parus had seen them on the loose and Zonder was secretly caught by Xof Chopsnout, and the slavers used him to force the rest to surrender, which they do. Now back in chains, they are forced to continue further away from Redwall, stopping at one point for the night, where Zonder sees Russel and Linda conversing and the latter expressing disgust at herself, which got Zonder to pity her, and he personally believed she'd fit right in Redwall. Despite Ganner's doubts as well as bringing up how molding Veil Sixclaw into a good beast was a failure (which Zonder blames his relation to Swartt Sixclaw to be the reason), Zonder began to see Linda as a friend. The next morning, he ends up getting another wet-dream, and was forced to bear until they reached Great Inland Lake. They eventually reach the lake later, and by dusk were taken aboard with their slavers and Linda by the wildcat Brafilius to Marlfox island, reaching it at night. They were greeted by an actual wolverine named Viqi, and Parus shocks everybody by revealing Linda and Russell were in love, then had them and Zonder separated from Freja and the hares. Zonder was thrown into a dark building several other otters: most being naked or at least pants-less, and some with babes. He was disgusted by this and had no intention of mating with any. He was still in it by the next day, but fortunately, he heard battle sounds, and realized the suffering was about to end. Looking out the door's window, he saw Kasper and called her over, and she breaks them all out. Zonder also assuring he didn't mate with any female otter before joining in the liberation. In the end the woodlanders triumph after Parus was slain by a plesiosaur, however, Zonder laments about Spinus' death since he had seen them get kidnapped from Redwall in the first place. They later return to Redwall and happily reunites with Scarlette. A few days, later, he has another wet-dream, but this time finally gets to overcome it from Scarlette. 
==Appearance==
He was naked regardless of age and had a sword-shaped birthmark between his pecs.
==Personality==
Zonder was like any other dibbun: mischievous, playful and stubborn. He was one of the few brave enough to rob from Bairdon the friar owl, though not to the extent as the hares Alzbeta and Ganner. As with most kids his age, he had difficulty controlling his bowels and would excrete even when he didn't want to.
As a teenager, he is shown with a typical teen personality, such as having to deal with the concept of sexuality. He was also knowledgeable as he knew who Parus was and what she did. He also apparently hates clothes, though this could be due to the fact he was left to be naked all the time.
