Captain Mallow was a highly experienced and respected captain of a wide patrol in Efrafa. He was part of the Right Fore mark.
Book[]
When the patrol was following the Watership Down Rabbits, Bigwig was being chased by a fox and ran into the patrol. Mallow tried to detain Bigwig, but Bigwig knocked him down in desperation and ran away just before the fox burst in and killed Mallow, who was unable to get up in time. His death, along with that of Captain Charlock, was a matter of great concern for General Woundwort because it left the Efrafan Owsla short of experienced officers.
Trivia[]
