Brother Tahu Reguba

right|300pxBrother Tahu Reguba is a male squirrel and descendant of Dannflower Reguba, and the gatekeeper in Frozen Terror. He first appears opening the gate for Zimber, Pryce, Myodes Lightpaw and Saffo. Sometime later, he hears his daughter Teedle Reguba and her friends Skarloey and Adorjan were robbing friar Gamut Braebuck, and promptly gives Teedle a timeout. Teedle however wasn't learning her lesson as Tahu later finds she and her friends have painted the gatehouse (and themselves) without permission. Not long after that, Blackfire Warfang shows up and takes Onewa Lightpaw hostage, and worse, his daughter and her friends once more got into mischief, which became the last straw for them. Hours later, he was present at the front door when Blackfire arrives to attempt to bribe Redwall for Onewa's life. He then noticed Teedle had disappeared and went looking for her, along with Skarloey and Adorjan who have also disappeared. To their horror, Eliana Fieldmouse reports that a postern had been left unlocked, causing her, Tahu, and Skarloey's father Noptar into deducing they broke out, and this was confirmed when they arrive to the same postern and found footprints that could only have been made by the dibbuns. A search for the children was unsuccessful, but it went from bad to worse when Blackfire arrives with the dibbuns siding with her. Tahu, along with his wife and the mole-parents, refused to oppose Blackfire for fear of the dibbuns. Tahu himself didn't take part in the battle that erupted, although luckily Teedle and Skarloey rejoined Redwall's side and brought him and Yaddle to save Adorjan and Noptar from a dromaeosaur. At the same time Blackfire was defeated and killed. By day, Pryce, Saffo and Myodes return from their excursion via pterosaurs, with Tahu outright encouraging the teens to tell everyone about it after the dibbuns demand them. It can be assumed he continued to live in Redwall, as he was present during the wedding of Saffo and Vaniel Wildlough.
Many seasons later, Pica Eipgam the magpie threatens Redwall. Tahu was first seen herding in woodlanders when Saffo and her children Retto Wildlough and Zorran Wildlough arrive. At night, he spots a female hedgehog and beckons her in, and shows her some warriors when she asks for some. After Pica's first attack, he finds the portcullis jammed after the hits from Pica's Springald and was forced to crouch to help gather everyone inside the abbey. After Pica was killed, Tahu began working on the portcullis.
