Line 74:
* [[And I Must Scream]]: {{spoiler|Ungatt Trunn is assumed to be dead by the heroes and left on the seashore with a broken back. He's not dead. [[Nightmare Fuel|And the tide is coming in very, very slowly]]... and then, to make it all worse, a Woobie ex-mook, whose family Ungatt killed years ago, shows up, to speed on his fate.}}
* [[Human Pincushion|Animal Pincushion]]: Skalrag is hung from the gates of Marshank and used as target practice for Badrang's archers.
* [[Animal Stereotypes]]: Obviously. Weirdly, it's averted with the owls; they're almost invariably goodnaturedgood-natured but absent-minded, and almost never "wise", as folklore would have it. Possibly [[Truth in Television|Truth In Literature]], as owls aren't terribly smart in real life. Also, the bats are fairly cute and harmless with a silly [[Verbal Tic]] (verbal tic, verbal tic...), as opposed to the usual portrayals of them as evil in fiction.
** Also unusual, rabbits are not at all flirtatious, [[Trickster Archetype|mischievous, or clever]]. The hares take that role, and the rabbits are universally [[The Load|prissy little weaklings]] who never factor heavily into the plot.
* [[Animated Adaptation]]: Nelvana produced an animated series, which adapted the books ''Redwall'', ''Mattimeo'', and ''Martin the Warrior''.
Line 93:
* [[Apron Matron]]: Badger Mothers.
* [[Archnemesis Dad]]: Swartt Sixclaw, Veil's father. He completely neglects him, doesn't even name him, and abandons him in a ditch during a battle. That's not counting what Swartt does to him the next time they meet.
* [[Armour Is Useless]]: Armour, mostly mail, is occasionally useful, but its weight, hotness, and restrictiveness is shown either realistically or overplayed. Mostly armourarmor is just rare or absent. Unless it's [[Plot Armour]].
* [[Arrows on Fire]]: The fire-swingers in ''Mariel of Redwall''.
** The traditional kind are aplenty as well. Greypatch burned a ship with flaming arrows in the same book.
