The Solitary Beaver was a Mossflower Woods resident who allied with Redwall Abbey's efforts to defeat Cluny the Scourge. He stopped Cluny from climbing up the Abbey wall in the first battle of the Late Rose Summer Wars, helped Constance construct a giant crossbow that was intended to kill the rat leader, and poured boiling water into Cluny's underground tunnels.
With the crossbow, the pair killed Cheesethief, who was acting as second-in-command. The beaver is described as an "equally well-built beast" compared to Constance, which suggests he could be around the same physical size.
The Solitary Beaver was the only beaver in the Redwall series, and he was very rarely mentioned.
Trivia[]
- According to Brian Jacques, beavers do not appear in subsequent Redwall novels to reflect the fact that there are no longer any native beavers in Great Britain.
- The Beaver does not appear in Redwall: The Graphic Novel or the Redwall TV Series.
