BASIL STAG HARE

'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 Long Patrol, a ferocious regiment of fighting hares that protected Salamandastron. 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 Redwallers from Slagar the Cruel.
