* DemotedToExtra: While squirrels did have a defined society and role in some early books like otters, shrews, and hares, this was increasingly phased out over time, and in many books they get lumped in with the "generic" abbeybeasts with little to make them stand out.

* PluckyComicRelief: Hares, particularly as a token member of a group, tend to be rather silly and provide most of the book's humorous dialogue. [[BewareTheSillyOnes Mind you, this rarely makes them less effective in a fight.]]

Hares are a race known for their eccentric personalities, their love of food, and the fact that they are deadly warriors despite both of these traits. Hares rarely live in Redwall Abbey itself, and instead usually keep isolated homesteads. Their overarching society is the Long Patrol, a nomadic milita based out of the coastal force of Salamandastron that struggles to keep back the pirates and invaders that frequently threaten Mossflower. Rabbits appear much less frequently, and are usually characterized as cowardly and pacifistic; calling a hare a rabbit is a grievous insult.

Added DiffLines:
* TheGoomba: Zigzagged. Rats tend to be the cannon fodder of any vermin horde where they appear, due to being the smallest of the vermin races, but at the same time rats have been shown to rise to positions of leadership even amongst mixed-race hordes, starting with the very first BigBad of the franchise, Cluny the Scourge.

* ResourcefulRodent: When there's a construction project to be done, expect at least one mole to be heading it. To further their image as industrious workers, their leader gets the title "Foremole" (a Redwall-ized version of "foreman").

* NiceMice: Eyup. Mice represent more main heroes than any other species, and very rarely have a mean bone in their bodies.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: They live underground, have thick accents, tend to be better-versed than other abbeybeast species in engineering and construction, and are often portrayed as being smaller than a lot of other species... yeah, they're about as close as you can get, given the setting. The main departure is that moles tend to be fairly even-tempered and are rarely warriors, although fighting moles are not unheard of.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Male badgers are almost always characterized as proud, fearsome warriors, or at least as having been one at some point in their lives.

Whilst it's been years since I personally read the books, I'm sure we can all agree there are definitely tropes that run through the species of the series.
Added DiffLines:
!!Abbeybeasts
* AlwaysLawfulGood: Whilst there are a very few individual exceptions, in general, characters from the races collectively deemed "abbeybeasts" are always the good guys, or at worse the "everday civilian" flavor of neutrality. Even the rare hostile abbeybeast groups such as the Gawtrybe squirrels are treated as more misguided than evil and worthy of redemption, whereas vermin are near-universally treated as pure evil.
!!!Mice & Voles
Mice are the most common of the abbeybeast races and make up the largest proportion of viewpoint characters and side-characters, especially in the earlier novels. Voles are less common, and usually come off as largely the same as mice, if perhaps more likely to be {{jerkass}}es.
----
* TheEveryman: Mice and voles are the most "generic" of the abbeybeast races.
!!!Shrews
Similar to mice, but smaller and more pugnacious, shrews tend to keep more to themselves, usually being associated with their own roving nomadic culture, the Guerilla Union of Shrews in Mossflower.
----
* BattleCry:
* FunWithAcronyms:
* PintsizedPowerhouse:
!!!Hedgehogs
Well-armored with their prickly spines, hedgehogs are found in many roles, but have a particular association with being skilled chefs and brewers, to the point that they are preferred for the role of Cellarmaster at Redwall Abbey.
----
* BigEater: Hedgehogs are often characterized as loving plenty of food and drink.
* SupremeChef: Whilst there have been very well-known hedgehog chefs, they're actually more associated with creating liquor than food.
!!!Moles
Generally seen as the most docile of the abbeybeasts, moles are rarely fighters. They speak their own distinctive dialect.
----
* TheUnintelligible: Moles are the only abbeybeast race to normally be given a FunetikAksent, and in-universe many other races often struggle with understanding their dialect.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: On the vast menu of Redwall Abbey dishes, "deeper 'n' ever turnip-n-tater-n-beetroot pie" is generally called out the most as both a mole invention and a mole favorite.
!!!Squirrels
The second largest and second most aggressive of the "common" abbeybeasts, next to the otters.
----
* MasterArcher: Whilst not the only race to use bows, squirrels in particular tend to be known for their skills at archery, especially in the inevitable siege.
!!!Otters
Largest and most warlike of the "common" abbeybeasts, second only to badgers, otters tend to become the champions around which abbeybeast fighters rally in times of trouble.
----
* TheBigGuy: Next to the badgers, otters will usually be the biggest, strongest, and most martially capable members of the cast.
* MasochistsMeal: In dining scenes, otters often love to prove how tough they are by spicing up their Hotroot Soup to ever-more eyewatering, tongue-blistering levels of heat.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Whilst otters naturally love seafood, their ''particular'' favorite is a spicy shrimp soup called "Shrimp and Hotroot Soup", often shortened to "Hotroot Soup". Any otter character will guzzle this by the bowlful, and even have full-fledged {{Eating Contest}}s with it.
!!!Badgers
Rarest, largest and strongest of all the abbeybeast races, badgers are the most isolated from abbeybeast society. Badgers of either sex may appear as the rulers of Salamandastron, a coastal fortress inside of an extinct volcano that exists to defend the Mossflower coastline from seafaring invaders and pirates. Female badgers may appear as the "mother superiors" of Redwall Abbey.
----
* BattleCry: Like the hares they lead, badgers are known for shouting "Eulalia!" when in battle.
* TheBerserker: Whilst the mysterious berserk fury known as the Bloodwrath can appear in the other abbeybeast races, badgers are universally afflicted with it.
* TheBigGuy: Badgers ''tower'' over all other races that have ever appeared in the setting, and are notorious for their strength.
* MadeOfIron: Between their size, their stamina and their tendency to fly into [[UnstoppableRage Bloodwrath]], badgers can typically endure ''ridiculous'' amounts of punishment before dying.
* OneManArmy: The general rule of thumb is that nothing less than a ''large'' army of vermin can take down a badger in a straight fight.
!!!Hares & Rabbits
Hares are a race known for their eccentric personalities, their love of food, and the fact that they are deadly warriors despite both of these traits. Hares rarely live in Redwall Abbey itself, and instead usually keep isolated homesteads. Their overarching society is the Long Patrol, a nomadic milita based out of the coastal force of Salamandastron that struggles to keep back the pirates and invaders that frequently threaten Mossflower. Rabbits appear much less frequently, and are usually c haracterized as cowardly and pacifistic; calling a hare a rabbit is a grievous insult.
----
* BigEater: Hares are ''legendary'' in-universe for how much they enjoy eating.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: IncrediblyLamePun aside, whilst hares are notoriously eccentric, usually being send-ups of old-school British army officers, they are still ferocious fighters who will sell their lives to defeat their foes, and whose skills means they come out on top more often than not.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Rabbits mostly appear in the earliest books and are largely phased out in favor of hares once the series hits its stride.
!!Vermin
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Whilst a small number of vermin have shown some sympathetic traits or the possibility of redemption, by and large the vermin races exist only to harass the abbeybeasts and get killed off.
* FunetikAksent: Being rooted in British lower-class stereotypes, the vermin races are most likely to talk in a coarse manner that is rendered by spelling how it is pronounced in the literature. There are abbeybeasts who talk this way too, but it's much less universal compared to the vermin.
!!!Rats
The most common of the vermin races, rats can be found both on land and at sea. In fact, they are the most prominently naval of the vermin races, leading to the nickname "searats".
----
* SwarmOfRats: Individually, rats tend to be the smallest and weakest of the vermin races. In ''numbers'', though, that can change, and there are usually a ''lot'' of rats.
* YouDirtyRat: One of the most iconic examples of the evil rat in fantasy literature.
!!!Foxes
Largest of the vermin races, foxes often rise to high prominence in hordes.
----
* TheBigGuy: Foxes are usually depicted as the biggest of the vermin, although they pale in size compared to otters and badgers.
!!!Mustelids
A grab-bag of races, the most commonly seen mustelids in Mossflower are weasels, stoats and ferrets. More exotic breeds, such as pine martens or wolverines, are usually only seen as high-ranked individuals.
----
* TheEveryman: Mustelids tend to be the most generic of the vermin races, with little differentiating weasels, stoats and ferrets.
* EvilCounterpart: Technically, otters are part of the mustelid family too, but otters are considered abbeybeasts and weasels, stoats and ferrets are all considered vermin.
