Redwall Wiki | Brian Jacques and Redwall Information

Foremole was the leader of the moles in Redwall Abbey, and a direct descendant of Young Dinny. During the Late Rose Summer Wars, Foremole was appointed as an Abbey commander by Abbot Mortimer, along with Matthias, Constance, Ambrose Spike, and Winifred.

He and his crew assisted Matthias and Methuselah in their quest to retrieve the sword of Martin the Warrior by opening up the passageway to Martin's tomb. Foremole and his crew proved to be quite useful when Cluny the Scourge and his Horde planned to dig into Redwall Abbey.

Eight seasons later during the Summer of the Golden Plain, Foremole and his crew dug supply tunnels when the Redwallers were besieged in Cavern Hole by General Ironbeak's flock.

Nelvana Redwall TV Series[]

In the Nelvana Redwall TV Series, Foremole has the appearance of a star-nosed mole, a species native to North America. This conflicts with the book series since most of the fauna are chiefly native to the British Isles (with the exception of animals like monitor lizards, beavers, and sables). Additionally, it is never mentioned in Redwall whether or not Foremole was a star-nosed mole, although it is quite unlikely that he was. All moles in the book series are generally depicted as European moles.

Trivia[]

  • Foremole often curses, using the phrase "Owd 'Arry" (Old Harry), a British name for the devil dating to the 1700s.
