Based on the popular game "20 Questions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty_Questions)". In this game, y'all will attempt to guess the identity of a character from the Redwall series that somebody has selected.
If nobody has the right answer by the 20th question, then the selector gets to pick another character for others to guess. If someone does guess right, then they get to pick a character.
Any character picked must be either named, or of unique notability (such as being the only kind of their species), or important due to their actions in the story. "That rat who so-and-so shot with an arrow in Salamandastron" does not count. The Beaver, the Grumpy Watervole (http://redwall.wikia.com/wiki/Grumpy_Watervole), and the eel in Sable Quean that lives in the lake do.
I have a character picked; take your best shot.
Is it a mammal?
Yes.
Is it a female?
No.
Is it one of the larger creatures?
Hmm... I'd say yes.

Yes, I think it's fair to say that.

No.
