The Flitchaye were small, skinny weasels who lived in a forest north of Mossflower Woods. They lived in small burrows in the ground, with sod lids that covered the holes. The Flitchaye terrorized passing travelers by sending them to sleep with a solution which they burned. They are also known as 'buried ones' due to the fact that they appear to rise out of the ground to disbelieving travelers.

In The Sable Quean, the group is misnamed the 'Flitcheye'.

In The Legend of LukeEdit

Martin the Warrior, Gonff, Young Dinny and Trimp encountered the Flitchaye while on their quest to find out about Martin's father; they run into them within one day's march of Redwall Abbey, which is unusually far south for the Flitchaye to travel. After discovering the Flitchaye held a Dibbun squirrel hostage, Martin tricked the superstitious weasels by making his sword magically appear (with help from Gonff) and using ramsons to overpower the scent of their burning solution. Later, Garraway Bullow and her tribe of otters attacked the Flitchaye, causing them to flee. The Flitchaye group were quickly slain by the otters.

In Mariel of RedwallEdit

The leader of the Flitchaye was named Snidjer. The group was often kept at bay by Stonehead McGurney and his family of warlike owls. The weasels captured Mariel Gullwhacker and her friends, but the McGurney clan stopped them.

In The Sable QueanEdit

The Flitchaye attacked Buckler Kordyne, Diggs, the Guosim, and Witherspyk Performing Players‎ while the goodbeasts were on their way to Redwall. The weasels were defeated, tied to a tree and forced to smell their own burning herbs.

BooksEdit

The Flitchaye appear in Mariel of Redwall, The Legend of Luke, and The Sable Quean.
