Abbot Carrul was a male mouse leader of Redwall Abbey and the successor of Abbot Phredd.
As a Dibbun, he caused mayhem with Sister Portula and was sent to work in the Kitchen for five days. He was also known to have cheated at the nut and spoon race for five seasons straight, by sticking the nut to the spoon using honey. As an adult, Carrul was an unusually active Abbot, even going so far as to participate in the war against Raga Bol by fighting alongside the defenders of the Abbey. He was, however, inexperienced in matters of war; Carrul turned his back on the enemy at one point and was very nearly killed by Ferron. Martha Braebuck saved his life, incidentally discovering that she had the ability to walk in the process.
Martin the Warrior appeared to Carrul in a dream, instructing him to designate the next Abbey leader as the one who carried his sword upon returning from a journey. That turned out to be Fenna; however, she was considered still a bit young for the role when the discovery was made. Carrul continued to serve for many seasons; when he felt Fenna was ready for the responsibilities and duties of the position, he retired and lived alongside Phredd in the Gatehouse.
