Bowly Pintipswas a young male hedgehog who was detained in the dry lands far south of Mossflower Woods. After escaping his weasel captors, Agric and Spurge, he met Dandin and Mariel.
Bowly quickly grew to be as daring and feisty as his new warrior friends. Armed with two stale oatcakes as his trademark weapons, he helped free Furpp Straightfurrer and his grandchildren. Bowly matured into a full-fledged warrior. He led a recruiting team consisting of Meldrum's leveret squad in an effort to gather allies for the final Battle of Southsward and used an inverted broom as his rallying banner. Bowly's courage was especially instrumental in gaining the assistance of Gawjun and his tribe. By impressing Gawjun's wife, Deekeye, with his coolness under fire, he earned their respect and was permitted to be their leader. Bowly also recruited a tribe of mice.
After the battle, Bowly visited Redwall Abbey and sailed off with Mariel and Dandin into the sunset aboard the Pearl Queen.
Not to be confused with Bowley.
