'''Friar Butty''' was a male squirrel resident of [[Redwall Abbey]]. He started off working as a [[The Kitchen|kitchen assistant]] and later succeeded [[Mother Buscol]] as the head friar. Later, he succeeded [[Craklyn]] as the [[The Gatehouse|Recorder]]. <br />
<br />
When he was younger, Butty helped [[Abbess Tansy|Tansy]] and her friends find the lost castle [[Kotir]] buried beneath Redwall. The squirrel brought back a good deal of [[Treasure of Verdauga Greeneyes|treasure]] from the ruins, at the expense of falling into an underground swamp and covering himself with phosphorescent mud. The treasure was later used to make medals for veterans of the [[Ridge of a Thousand]] conflict. <br />
<br />
After both Abbess Tansy and her successor, [[Abbot Arven]], died, Friar Butty was nominated to be Abbot. However, he described himself as "too rheumaticky" to effectively perform the duties required of the position. <br />
<br />
As he aged, Butty acquired a rheumatic footpaw that was sensitive to weather changes, as well as a friendship with [[Nutwing]], the elderly owl. After Nutwing was slain by the Marlfoxes, Butty grieved his loss dearly. For a long time, he was unable to experience sleep, saying that the old owl's snores had lulled him into slumber. <br />
<br />
Butty also didn't sleep well on an empty stomach. This trait actually saved the Abbey; as a result of missing dinner, he was awake during the early morning hours when [[Ascrod]] and [[Raventail]]'s [[Raventail's Band|Band]] sneaked into the grounds through the main gate. The old squirrel immediately raised the alarm, and the vermin were kept from getting inside the main Abbey building.<br />

''Not to be confused with [[Butty Wopscutt]]''.<br />
