Thura

Thura is an anthropomorphic stoat in the book "Salamandastron" of the Redwall series by Brian Jacques.

Thura was a soldier in Ferahgo the Assassin's horde. He and his friend Dingeye deserted from the horde and ended up at Redwall Abbey, and were treated with kindness by the peaceful creatures there. During the night, however, the two stoats played around with a bow and arrow and accidentally shot Brother Hal in the neck and killed him.

Frightened, they stole the sword of Martin the Warrior and fled into Mossflower Woods. The blame of Hal's killing fell on Samkim, who found the dead brother after he had picked up the bow.

In Mossflower Woods, Thura contracted a disease called Dryditch Fever and died, leaving Dingeye to be decapitated by Dethbrush.
