Daunger is a personification of one aspect of the lady's psyche. Daunger is described as a rough giant with black spiky hair, burning red eyes, and a permanent scowl on his face. He is armed with a club, and he uses this club to drive the narrator away from the roses when the narrator becomes too forward. Bialacoil is afraid of Daunger, and the giant often chases the young squire away into hiding. However, he often falls asleep as he lied hidden in the grass behind the hedges, allowing Bialacoil to come out from hiding. He is set as one of the guardians of the castle that Bialacoil and the Rose are later imprisoned in.
