After Sawney's death, Vallug was among the vermin selected to hunt Deyna the Taggerung with Gruven. Gruven was despised and soon Vallug, along with the weasel Eefera, deserted their comrades to search for the Taggerung on their own. Both Vallug and Eefera were tough and clever, and neither trusted the other.

| abstract | - Vallug Bowbeast is an anthropomorphic ferret and one of the main villains in the Redwall series book, The Taggerung. Vallug was a member of the evil Juska tribe and one of Sawney Rath's top assassins. He was an extremely skilled archer who could pick off a dragonfly in mid-air. Vallug was a sturdy, stolid ferret who didn't speak much, but was very cunning and brutal. Vallug murdered the otter Rillflag with an arrow to the heart so that Sawney Rath could take Rillflag's infant son to be the Juska's warrior-messiah, the Taggerung. When the baby otter Tagg grew up, he rebelled and ran away from the Juska, and Vallug was one of the nine vermin warriors sent after him. Vallug had set up a shaky partnership with the devious weasel Eefera, and together they split from the main group and hunted down Tagg themselves. They tracked him to Redwall Abbey, the otter's real home, and demanded that the Redwallers give them the Taggerung. Vallug wounded a couple of Redwallers and accidentally killed the resident badgermum, Cregga, with a stray arrow. When Tagg, who was inside the Abbey, knew that the vermin were outside, he broke out and grabbed the closest weapon; the sword of Martin. He charged outside and attacked Vallug and Eefera, and Vallug fired an arrow into his chest, but the injury didn't stop him and he beheaded the Bowbeast in one swing.

Gruven was despised and soon Vallug, along with the weasel Eefera, deserted their comrades to search for the Taggerung on their own. Both Vallug and Eefera were tough and clever, and neither trusted the other. Their search brought them south to Redwall Abbey. They assumed that the Taggerung was inside, so they made a simple but effective plan: Vallug would snipe away at the Redwallers on the walls and they would demand the return of the Taggerung. Unfortunately the Redwallers had no idea who the Taggerung was, but Vallug and Eefera did not believe them, and the sniping continued for a while. Meanwhile, Gruven eventually found his way to Redwall Abbey. He and his partners, Dagrab and Rawback, were captured by Vallug and Eefera, who made them do their work. Finally, Deyna did come out, mad with fury, and Vallug was beheaded in the consequent battle. Previously, an arrow fired by the ferret wounded the Badger Mother Lady Cregga Rose Eyes, who subsequently died.
