Yeah, it must be painful.  He can't really walk properly with it.

I don't think Tom Bidwell really thought about all this when he created the character, though, he probably just wanted something creepy.  It wouldn't have been a lot of trouble to get Woundwort to mention him when flirting with Clover.  But him having been born in a hutch could explain these things.

Well, no, I don't think anyone working on the series thought about it much at all. It looks cool, do it, seemed to be the mantra.

If the claw rabbit used to be hutch rabbit then maybe he was in the same hutch as Woundwort. He picked the lock with his claw to escape or something

And I don't think anyone told him where to put the mark so I guess he could just choose where each rabbit ended up.

For some reason I thought of him as the Efrafan tattooist. Oh and I believe it was mentioned that the mark decides where they're being kept (so not necesarrily when they go above ground)

Waaaiit a second... VERVAIN is Orchis' brother?! I'm gonna check but when Orchis brings Holly and co to Efrafa, Vervain adresses him as 'brother'. It would explain why Vervain is in no more episodes

My mind is slightly blown now. They both die. great...

Now that I look at them they do look similar but it's hard to tell with those Efrafans. Vervain's ears aren't that big either

Campion even stands up to Woundwort. Yea you can't tell me the writers never saw the series

Vervain on the left. I mean, I can see the resemblance


Yep. Checked. 100% sure it's Vervain that gets hit by the train.

RIP. This series doesn't like the Vervain line.

They absolutely watched the series. Hawkbit and Dandelion tell me that. It's the "You can copy my homework but don't make it too obvious" meme.

Cursed bloodline. Poor buns.

No kidding, they're too much like their series counterparts. Even fighting over a doe.

They kinda failed in the latter part of that.

...this knowledge of Vervain and Orchis' being brothers is making my mind race way too much. Vervain sounds happy and proud even when he says 'brother' and Orchis looks at him like, well, a little brother lookng up at his big bro. why brain why

Just like Hazel and Fiver, but with villains.

Yeah! Cute villain brothers! Though, however much Fiver loves his brother, he sn't the kind of rabbit to go for revenge for his death, of course.

Come to think of it, this, I believe is the second instance of siblings in anything WD. Hazel and Fiver being the only others given specific mention.

That big-clawed rabbit reminded me of the big, ugly Efrafan in the series.

I also had trouble telling them apart.
