Basil Stag Hare

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Basil Stag Hare was an anthropomorphic hare in the Redwall series of books by Brian Jacques. He was voiced by Richard Binsley in the animated series, by Ron Delacruz in the full-cast audiobook of Redwall and by Simon Smithies in the audiobook of Mattimeo.

Basil was a member of the Fur and Foot Fighters' and the Forty-Seventh Hare Border Rangers. (Redwall). 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 Dibbuns,Redwall Abbeybabes, from Slagar the Cruel. Basil Stag Hare also assisted Matthias in the first book of the Redwall series, Redwall. He distracts Cluny's gang of vermin while Matthias sneaks into the church, trying to steal back the tapestry of Martin the Warrior. Unfortunately, Cluny is using it as their flag and he has already left. After that escapade, Basil occasionally visits the Abbey and goes on a quest with Matthias to rescue the children kidnapped by Slagar the Slaver (or Cruel).
