Stiffener Medick was a boxing hare at Salamandastron during the rule of Lord Stonepaw. He was also the grandfather of Southpaw and Bobweave, who were boxing hares like him and who he was immensely proud of. He kept himself very fit, even in his old age, and commited himself to rigorous exercise each morning. He was an extremely talented boxer. When Salamandastron was under attack by Ungatt Trunn, Stiffener was one of the few to escape via a hidden tunnel. He played a major role in the rest of the attacks against Trunn, as he was one of the key figures in the Bark Crew.
