Basil Stag Hare



Basil Stag Hare was previously a member of the Fur and Foot Fighting Patrol, as well as an outfit known as the 47th Hare Border Rangers. Due to his admiration for stags, he took his middle name for the creature. Basil was an expert in camouflage, and was well-known for his appetite, as is the case with most hares. He lived alone in Mossflower Woods and became a close ally of Matthias. Soon thereafter, he moved into Redwall Abbey, and assisted Matthias in rescuing kidnapped Redwallers from Slagar the Cruel. Later on, he adopted Cheek otter.
