Badfort Crowd

The inhabitants of the "dingy fortress" of Badfort in J.P. Martin's Uncle books. Badfort is an enormous fortress-cum-council-estate-cum-dark-satanic-mill that blights the landscape in front of Homeward, the enormous collection of towers in which Uncle lives. The Badfort Crowd are nominally headed by the Hateman family, Beaver, Nailrod Snr, Nailrod Jnr, Filljug, and Sigismund, with the support of Flabskin, Oily Joe, the dwarvish, cowardly, skewer-throwing Isidore Hitmouse, the scheming ghost Hootman, and Jellytussle, an animated mound of purplish jelly.
