Species You Wish Had Done More

[ShrewsForever]

I think herons.

Me too. I love herons.

I also agree with lizards.

[Feles]

One wolf in the series would be awesome, the only wolf in the series is barely mentioned and even then, it is dead, "killed by Urgan Nagru" and that hardly does them justice

also, adders as main villains would be pretty cool, imagine an adder leading a force of lizards against Redwall

lastly, a hedgehog hero couldn't hurt

This! There was never a mole who wielded the Sword of Martin either. I think it would definitely have been interesting to see a mole hero.

Also the Sparra, I wish they hadn't disappeared completely after Mattimeo!

[Lady Cregga]

Yes, I miss the Sparra. Hedgehogs and Moles I think could have done more, they aren't mentioned much in the series. Was a mole ever Abbot or Abbess? I know there was one hedgehog so far.

[Feles]

the sparra were killed off by Ironclaw's crows and Malkeris? archers in Mattemeo, its a pity they died out

and while there has been a hedgehog hero, they are never the main hero, same with moles


Did you know there was a beaver in the series that was only mentioned in one book, Redwall
Rabbits, mentioned in Martin the Warrior
and a golden hamster somewhere (forgot book name)

It's Ironbeak.

I have to say that a mole hero would be cool. Arula was one, but it hardly counts.
Even though hares play a large part in every book, it's really just Buckler Kordyne who I see as a main hare protagonist.

I did already mention bats, yet whilst re-reading Mossflower which has the bats in, I can see all the more they had potential as characters to be added in more, and with some clothing and more civilised identity as opposed to the wilder creatures like herons and snakes which didn't so much. Why not? Lots of other little mammals were included. Sure they like the dark mostly, but they could have had a presence in night time scenes.

[Rivertheotter]

The Moles. Yes, I know they are in every book, but they always get supporting roles. Every good species had at least one main character, but there was not a single mole Abbot or wielder of martin's sword. Moles have been proven time and time again to be honest, kind, and wise creatures, but Jacques kept them in the supporting cast. Also, the voles had a lot of potential, but aside from Yoofus Lightpaw in Rakkety Tam,  Voles barely got a character to represent them!
The voles, the moles, please no trolls.

[Wot, wot!]

 
Like many have said, it would've been cool to see more bats and more sparrows. I also would've liked more owls. I didn't realize the sparrow died out after Mattimeo. That's really sad

WHAT?! No trolls?! How dare you! As a respected cave troll I feel insulted.



I agree with the moles, and up until The Sable Quean I kind of felt the same way. However, in that book Axtel Sturnclaw more than made up for generations of moles for how awesome he was.

[Gonff the Mousethief]

Two that I really think were Turtles and Hamsters. It would have been so cool to see Hamsters live at Redwall, or somehow make a book on them. Turtles I found would make a good run in character on adventures and maybe have an old one at Redwall.

[JangoCoolguy]

I'm not so sure about hamsters...

Just what could they bring to the table to help them stand out from the other rodents???

Their look, that's just about it.

I think he should have used wolves more, mainly because that's my favorite animal, but, hey you've got to admit they're cool, it's the type of animal you would probably freak out if you saw just roaming around.

[LT Sandpaw]

Another creature you see only once is Gerbils but they aren't really even Gerbils their Jerbil Rats, which is disappointing because they could have made interesting villains.
