Polleekin was an old female mole who lived in a dead oak tree in the northern forest. She offered shelter and food to Martin the Warrior, Rose, Pallum, and Grumm Trencher. She was originally in a tribe of other moles, but they had passed away along with her family.
Polleekin was a fortune-teller or seer; she predicted bad fortune (Rose's death) for Martin if he returned to Fort Marshank to kill Badrang the Tyrant. She talked of how other's lives were always in her head. However she did not want to share her visions with others in order not to give them false hopes or bring them unconfirmed reason for sadness.
Polleekin also told the four friends how to get to Noonvale. Although she could not write or draw maps, she was able to indicate the route that the travelers should follow using descriptive poems and cryptic messages. She enjoyed company and was an excellent cook. The travelers liked Polleekin very much and Grumm commented he was proud to be a member of her species.
Polleekin later helped heal Martin from his wounds, after the final battle of Fort Marshank.
