'''Brantalis Skyfurrow''' was a male barnacle goose of the Skyfurrow skein. He was probably related to [[Olav Skyfurrow]]. Brantalis had a peculiar vocal mannerism, often prefacing his speech with "I am thinking..."

After Brantalis was shot with an arrow from one of [[Riggu Felis]]' [[Feral Cat Army of Green Isle|catguards]] at [[Green Isle]], [[Leatho Shellhound]] treated the wound, and helped Brantalis escape from the cats.

Brantalis then managed to wing his way to [[Redwall Abbey]], where he received further medical attention from [[Brother Perant]]. During this time, he met [[Pandion Piketalon]], who constantly quarreled with him, as well as [[Tiria Wildlough]]. After Tiria and Pandion left for Green Isle, Brantalis stayed behind at Redwall, later assisting with solving a riddle and fighting off an intruding gannet.

After the Redwallers found the coronet of [[High Queen Rhulain Wildlough]], Brantalis flew back to Green Isle and delivered it to Tiria. He and Pandion Piketalon then rescued Shellhound from the island's [[Fortress of Green Isle|burning fortress]].

Later, Brantalis became the "Queen's Courier" for Tiria, and the "Official Messenger to Redwall Abbey", delivering missives to and from [[Abbess Lycian]].

Though not the most clever of birds, Brantalis was a brave fighter. This was demonstrated when he fought a gannet that was more than a match for him in an effort to protect his friends. He enjoyed getting attention from others.

===Trivia===
*Brantalis' name is inspired from the Latin name for barnacle goose, ''Branta leucopsis''.
*Brantalis is the only goose to make a present-day appearance in the Redwall series, rather than being only mentioned.
