Friar Cockleburr, also called Cockles, was an excitable male hedgehog resident of Redwall Abbey. He was originally the assistant cook of Friar Alder. During Greypatch’s seige of Redwall, Cockleburr threw a hard turnip at the searat, temporarily blinding Greypatch's one good eye.
He eventually became the head kitchen friar of Redwall, and died within the next four seasons. He was renowned for his cornflower custard, as well as for using alliterative exclamations such as "Perishin' puddens!" and "Simmerin' seasons!"
