* Grodill from ''Lord Brocktree'' has a large fanbase for being one of the most pronounced ForcedIntoEvil TragicVillain henchmen in the entire series (while still being CunningLikeAFox), and [[spoiler:being the only "vermin" character to ever kill a BigBad (albeit one who'd already been beaten and LeftForDead) in a TheDogBitesBack moment that precedes an implied EarnYourHappyEnding.]]

** In the earlier books when the supporting villains (e.g. Redtooth and Cheesethief from ''Redwall'') got character development, many of them ended up popular with fans.
** Surprisingly brave and dignified PhantomThief Shadow is more of the most popular of Cluny's horde in the first book despite only appearing in a few chapters.
** Warbeak is one of the most colorful characters in the original book despite actually getting little focus (she's only there for a single story arc halfway through, then she comes back for the final battle). She gets enough love from fans that you'd think she was one of the main characters. She gets an expanded role in the TV series and comes back in ''Mattimeo'', [[spoiler: where she tragically dies saving everyone else.]]
** Romsca is extremely popular for being a ''very'' rare case of a character who is part of an [[AlwaysChaoticEvil "evil" species]] to pull a HeelFaceTurn. She rises above the popularity of even that small group for suffering no BadassDecay whatsoever while doing it. She is a tough PirateGirl captain assigned as a Co-Dragon with Lask Frildur to bring the Abbott to Ublaz. However, due to [[OddFriendship forming a genuine bond with the Abbott]] and already having a case of TeethClenchedTeamwork with Lask Frildur anyway, she ultimately turns on Lask (and by extension the BigBad Ublaz) to protect her new friend, and pulls off a MutualKill while doing so. In her dying moments, she asks for the Abbott's blessing, which she is given, earning her forgiveness both by the readers and the characters InUniverse (the latter of which almost ''never'' happens, best seen by the [[UngratefulBastard Redwallers' reaction to Veil's]] HeroicSacrifice). Overall, she's the perfect combination of EvilIsCool, ActionGirl, and for those with an appreciation for open-mindedness, a great example of why the FantasticRacism of Redwall isn't always right.
** Rasconza, simply for being a ManipulativeBastard who managed to outsmart [[SmugSnake Ublaz]] on multiple occasions.
** General Ironbeak and Korvus Skurr for being two of the few major bird villains in the series.
** Vallug Bowbeast and his team of vermin from ''Taggerung''. This does ''not'' include Gruven.
** Plugg Firetail is one of the few characters from ''Triss'' that everyone agrees to like, due to his charismatic AffablyEvil characterization and being a rare BenevolentBoss among villains.
** The [[FanNickname Adder Triplets]] from Triss are also very popular, most likely for their HeroKiller status, for being far less annoying and far more badass compared to [[DirtyCoward Princess]] [[SmugSnake Kurda]], [[NinjaPirateRobotZombie and for being three adders tied together like a hydra]].
** Notice how often Blaggut from ''The Bellmaker'' has been mentioned on the [=YMMV=] page? He wormed his way into the hearts of readers for being one of the few vermin to [[spoiler: do a full HeelFaceTurn and [[EarnYourHappyEnding Earn His Happy Ending]] in doing do.]]
