Slowtail

Slowtail is a male sea scorpion who serves Passel the Nasty. He first appears listening to Passel declaring they'll attack Salamandastron, which unnerved Slowtail. He eventually voices his concerns to Passel, but the lead eurypterid, who sees failure and losing a thorn to existence that should be removed, grabs Slowtail and threatens to drop him overboard until Slowtail submits. Passel lets him live, but warns he won't be so merciful if Slowtail chickens out again.
By morning, they reach the land Salamandastron resides, and march to the fortress in the wee hours of daylight, though Slowtail was anything but enthusiastic. Whether or not he took part in the battle is unknown, but despite arriving when all the fortress' residents would surely be asleep, they defended their home successfully. Nevertheless, they did getaway with several prisoners and the corsairs attempt to bribe the fortress to surrender for their lives, though Passel doubts they'll comply. As expected, Korrina Forgefire and the Long Patrol attempt to rescue the prisoners themselves, but Passel saw this coming and lay a trap, only for the woodlanders to have taken their own precautions and succeed. 
At night, Slowtail was minding his own business when Marka Frildur finds and kills Fastpaw, who intended to assassinate Passel and mistook Slowtail for him, though Passel would've been more than happy to have been rid of Slowtail had Marka not intervened. At the same time the guosim had witnessed it and attempted to sneak past them, but Passel catches them and a fight ensues. Unfortunately the Long Patrol arrive and, now with numbers against them, forced them to flee back to their ship. Slowtail again reasoned it wasn't worth it, but Passel, furious at the woodlanders for beating him, snaps and throws Slowtail into the ship, but lets him live. By this point, it became obvious to Slowtail that Passel's resentment of defeat was too strong to eliminate, and Slowtail, along with a few other corsairs, resort to just abandoning him to his hopeless goal: working behind Passel's back, he and his mutineers prep the ship for evacuation, but the woodlanders arrived sooner than expected, forcing them to disregard secrecy and make a break for it, though Passel himself and some loyalists reach them and escape with them, complete with the Redwall champion Fantina Dubbidge. By this point, Passel was done with Slowtail, and despite Slowtail growing a spine, Passel wounds him and after summoning some sharks in the water, throws a tied-up and bleeding Slowtail overboard to be rid of him.
