'''Abbot Apodemus''' was a male mouse leader of [[Redwall Abbey]]. He was described as having a yellow neck and being stout and fat. Apodemus was close friends with [[Malbun Grimp]]. He kept a list of troublemakers called "[[Abbot's Report]]", primarily used when the [[Dibbun]]s were in some kind of trouble. After the failed trip of [[Crikulus]] and Malbun to locate [[Brockhall]], Apodemus tried to get some information about the trip from Crikulus in his sleep; it wasn't very successful, as he was interrupted by [[Memm Flackery]], who woke up the shrew.<br />
<br />
Apodemus was also a good friend of [[Ovus]], though several Redwallers thought he was too soft and not strict enough with the fussy old bird. When the Abbey was threatened by [[Zassaliss]], [[Harssacss]], and [[Sesstra]], Apodemus put into motion a self-imposed siege, forbidding anyone from leaving the Abbey until the threat had passed. He then asked Ovus for help - the owl and [[Bluddbeak]] fought the adders, but were both instantly slain. Apodemus was devastated by their loss and eulogized them by sharing a special poem in their memory.<br />
<br />
Later, he welcomed [[Trisscar Swordmaid]] and her companions into the Abbey when they were being pursued by [[Princess Kurda]] and the [[Freebooters]]. Once this situation had been resolved, the Abbot made the unusual decision to let the [[Sword of Martin]] be carried across the seas to [[Riftgard Fortress]], where Trisscar used it to defeat [[King Agarnu]] and free his slaves. <br />

===Trivia===<br />
*Apodemus' name is derived from the scientific name for a wood mouse, ''Apodemus sylvaticus''.<br />
*Apodemus wrote an invitation to Redwall using [[Royal House of Riftgard Script]].<br />
