Description
I might work on this some more. Some of the sizes seem...off, compared to other animals. For all of the species, I went by length. I don't know if my sources were wrong, or I just drew them wrong. Anyway, this is a *decent* representation of all of the MAJOR species in the book series Redwall according to real-life size.I also might go back and add a bit of detail. But this is it for the moment.
On the left side, you have the "vermin" or the bad creatures of Redwall. From top to bottom:
Wildcat
Fox
Pine Marten
Ferret
Stoat
Rat
Weasel
On the right side are the "woodlanders" or the good creatures. From top to bottom:
Badger
Otter
Hare
Red Squirrel
Hedgehog
Mole
Mouse
Shrew
Please leave critiques and if you know one of the sizes is wrong, let me know.

The smallest woodlanders are shrews, and the biggest are badgers. Smallest verdins are weasels, and two of the biggest are both foxes and wildcats., of course the smallest fox is similar size to the small badger and small wildcat, but the big fox is bigger than the big badger, and slightly as big as the big wildcat. Great work!

Yeah, Redwall sort of distorts the size a little bit.

Question: Aren't foxes bigger then badgers, otters and Wildcats?

Very good chart! Thank you for making one.
π: 0 β©: 0
I like the chart! Β And I think someone said it earlier, but while this is accurate to the real creatures, Jacques averaged their sizes. Β Creatures larger than hare/squirrel seem to get a little smaller, and the smaller creatures (mice/shrews/voles) gain size. Β So a mouse is nearly the size of a squirrel but still much smaller than a Badger Lord.

You have no idea how much this helps me when I'm writing a Redwall fanfict or whatnot. Thank you so much!

You're right. Β I thought about this a lot while reading Redwall. Β All the characters are described as being the same size as each other, but there's no way a fox and a mouse, or a fox and a rat, would match in size, etc. Β He didn't take that part into account when writing the books. Β

Have ye e'er thought of addin' Wolverine, Monitor, or Wearat?

oh I didn't know there was book with a wild cat in it what's the book called

Mossflower and Lord Brocktree both have wildcats in them, there may be more,but I'm not sure.

Hey, would thee mind iffen I saved this picture into my computer and colored in the animals? Or should I just start from scratch? I want to use this picture, just like it, but color the outlines like animals. I just want your permission before I do anything, because it is your picture, and I'd give you credit

ummm... No they aren't. Mice are bigger than shrews, which are the smallest mammals on Earth. Please don't speak answers to someone who is asking unless you know.
π: 1 β©: 1
Agreed, Shrews and SMALLER Than mice, They are a relative to mice, What i heard... >w>
π: 0 β©: 1
Depends on how you look at it. Both are mammals, but they aren't in the same family.

Why do all the woozly things have to be bad guys? :C
π: 0 β©: 1
because they eat mice
π: 0 β©: 0
This is brilliant
I was thinking about the Wolverine though, Gulo and his family, from "Raketty Tam"
π: 0 β©: 0
Quite nice. I'd only add one more though it was a one time vermin: the wolverene from 'Rackety Tam' which was slightly bigger than a badger.

Their is also a wolf I belive in one of the books....thought I'm not totally sure
But besides that you did very well, I like it

Would you mind if I used this on a Redwall RP site that I'm working on?
If you say yes I will give you credit (if you'd like)

The fox Urgan Nagru wore a wolf pelt (the wolf did have a name, Urgan), but there were no living wolf characters in the books.
And sure, you can use this, and yes, please credit me. What site is it, may I ask?

Funny thing, I was thinking of making something very like this just to morning 
π: 0 β©: 1
Some people say that they actually have nut milk (like almond milk), thought I am not sure if you can make cheese from that.
I know what you mean about the cuteness in real life. Rats are insanely adorable
π: 0 β©: 1
I think you can, I think I've had some. Not nearly as good as the real stuff
I know right? When I was little my friend had pet rats and they were the cutest

i love redwall sooooooooo much even though i finished the series a while ago
π: 0 β©: 0
You forgot the wolverine, it in Racity Tam. sorry if i miss spelled anything, its 2 in the morning and im not the best speller)
π: 0 β©: 0
Awesome!

its called "imagination" and "suspended belief" as well as "fantasy physics".. think about it.. in the book they do not vary -that- much in size.. this is just how they are in reality... duh....
π: 0 β©: 0
I think that moles are smaller than mice and squirrels are smaller than hedgehogs. You forgot pygmy shrew!
π: 0 β©: 0
The size thing is what always bothered me the most about Redwall, that and the fact that certain races, especially rats, were "evil".
π: 0 β©: 0
This is really nicely done. It's probably already been suggested to you but you should think about doing one of the various birds that appear in the series.

Ah, and we must all wonder how Brian Jacques imagined these creatures all living together...Ergh, size-shifting tables? Very confused.
π: 0 β©: 0
If I read a Redwall novel and referred to this during battles or confrontations...then some things would seem really beyond nature. For example: Martin the Warrior against Tsarmina Greeneye! MAH! She's been defeated by a teeny-weeny mouse!

The wolverine Gulo the Savage was defeated by a squirrel. Makes little sense based on size but we don't read these books because they make sense in real life do we? lol
π: 0 β©: 0
Dude lol I can't believe a mouse killed a wild cat.

This is great. They're really good. The stoat actually has a kind of Okami-ish look to it (with black tail and all. )
The only problem I see in the Redwall series is that EVERY single fox, stoat, rat, et cetra, is evil. In all the Redwall books I've read, I've never seen ONE good one (I've read at least ten of them so far) and it does get a little annoying. I'd like to see a fox or ferret with a different personality for once :\ Maybe an evil badger or an evil mouse that has to fight a good rat or a good wildcat for once. I dunno.

I can help you out. There's a genuinely good rat in The Bellmaker, two genuinely good wildcats in Redwall and Mossflower, a ferret who turns good in Pearls of Lutra, another ferret who sacrifices his life for a mouse in Outcast of Redwall, and several fairly harmless vermin in Loamhedge. No good foxes as far as I know, though.
As for woodlanders, voles are often bad news. So are squirrels in a few cases. There was also one seriously disturbed otter in Legend of Luke, although not exactly evil.
π: 0 β©: 2
was the otter folgrim he ate 2 rats that he killed
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep, that one. That otter had some issues. There's a lot of killing in the Redwall series, but not a lot of animals eating each other.

Wasn't Sela the Vixen working for the Redwallers as a way to trick Cluny out of some battle plans during Redwall? I always thought she was a rather good vermin.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well... I suppose she's kind of gray. She was trying to play both sides for her own benefit, and ultimately Cluny got wind of it and had her killed. So she wasn't his creature, for sure. She wasn't working for Redwall Abbey either, though.
I'm kind of a geek about this series.
π: 0 β©: 1
Very true, but in some way, aren't all the villains working for their own benefit?
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yes, definitely; it's part of what makes them villains. Sorry for not being clear. I'm just trying to remember all the cases where a "vermin" type of animal, which would normally be a villain, was not a villain.
π: 0 β©: 0
Awesome! It's great but since I've never really seen any of these animals together I don't know if the size is wrong but I don't think it is.
