LOL! However, it was the Abbot who called her "my child"

Basically the Abbot said "Romsca, my child."  = "Romsca, you are my child."  =  "Romsca, I am your father."  DUn dun dun dun.....

Romsca: NOOOOOOOO!!!! :o
hehehehehehhheeee  ::)

NARDOLE; You are completely out of your mind!
DOCTOR: How is that news to anyone?

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

The locus, okay so by that logic if aliens came to earth and saw our history books they should eliminate us for lasting peace...

If its up to survival maybe the vermin are just trying to survive, its been made clear though the entire Redwall series that woodlanders are better fighters than vermin.
its almost like all vermin are natural bully's. that means the eradication plan is a very necessary step yet it hasn't been done even though the woodlanders are more then capable of achieving a vermin free world.
I think this all go's to portray how noble and forgiving Goodbeats are.

Personally who would you rather be, a creature that can't do bad?
Or a creature that can only do bad?
Easy choice right?

I'm fairly sure that goodbeasts let many vermin go over the course of the series.

Have you ever asked your self where are the vermin young, they have to be babies at some point. The only ones I can think of are Veil (The Outcast of Redwall)  Vitch (Mattimeo) And the little band of vermin young in (The Rogue Crew)

Klitch from the book Salamanstron was a good example I believe it did say something about his mother in the book but I don't have it with me to reference at the moment.

There were thousands of skilled vermin fighters.The horde leaders are an example.
The fastest way to a man's heart- Or anyone's, in fact- Is to tear a hole through their chest.

Indeed. You are as ancient as the soot that choked Pompeii into oblivion, though not quite as uncaring. - Rusvul

Just a butterfly struggling through my chrysalis.

Stonestripe

This is more about how they were raised. We are listing examples in the books where some reference to the vermin's childhood is made.

I do believe Klitch was not a young rat; rather, his small size enabled him to pass as an adolescent.

What I want to know is. . . What in the name of seasons were the mothers of vermin thinking when they named their children?! (Or were they even named by their mothers at all?)

Edraithel

It seems that most of the vermin names are probably nicknames based on appearance.

The Skarzs

Yes, but what would they be called before they gleaned that trait from which their name comes? Some vermin have actual names (though some of them seem rather rough) like Klitch and Grodda, but still.

Eh well, when I make names I either choose an oldder British name (John, Aaron, etc.) or type a bunch of random letters. for example: Onju. See? Easy to make, nice to hear.

Like Edraithel said. I always though that a lot of the names where nicknames like I call you Mr. Vulcan or sweet tart or stone faced toll.... or  Skarzsles for that matter. (I have to many nicknames for you... XD)

Vermin names are occasionally actual names, but most of the time its just two short words stuck together to make a compound name,
Example, mine: Sand-Paw Most Vermin names are clearly supposed to sound evil, it reminds me of the movie How too train your dragon and how they named their kids.
Very similar.

The Skarzs

Yes, some names might be ones their parents would have liked their offspring to live up to, but it seems odd that if the names they go by are nicknames, that there is no mention of it.

Settle on one, then. ;)

It could be a culture thing... We don't mention allot of things like the fact that we take the sir name from the husband. it is just natural and we don't even think about it. (Don't now go off on a tangent saying that people don't always do that It was just an example) Perhaps the vermin change their name when they get older like a coming of age thing. A way to say that they are independent and no longer need their parents or any connection to them.
