Animals or Humans

Are the Badfort crowd meant to be animals or humans? Eg Beaver Hateman. And what about the rest of the characters? I read these books when I was younger but now I think what the hell?

People; well, mostly. Beaver Hateman is human. Hootman might have been once. Jellytussle isn't. The Wooden-Legged Donkey and Toothy are animals. --scruss (talk) 01:08, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The list of characters in Uncle and the Battle for Badgertown includes, under 'The Badfort Crowd': Beaver, Nailrod (Senior), Nailrod (Junior), Filljug and Sigismund of the Hateman clan (all human); Flabskin (human); Hootman (a ghost); Hitmouse and his brother Adolphus Hitmouse (venomous dwarfish humanoids); Jellytussle (a roughly humanoid blob of jelly); and The Wooden-Legged Donkey (a wooden-legged donkey). So yes, human for the most part. --Kay Dekker (talk) 00:22, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

VIAF

I changed J. P. Martin's VIAF in the article from 35701106 to 187117964. The latter has more links to the books than the former. --scruss (talk) 01:32, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
