'''Groot''' was a male mouse former slave of [[Fort Marshank]]. He was the husband of [[Purslane]] and the father of [[Fuffle]].

Groot and his family eventually escaped Marshank with other slaves when [[Brome]] and [[Keyla]] guided them through a tunnel towards freedom. When the freed slaves met the [[Rambling Rosehip Players]], he and his family marveled at the contents of their larder and their abundance and variety of food. Groot was very fond of candied nuts, especially those prepared by his wife, who was an expert cook. Groot and Purslane were particularly polite, generous, and selfless. They never hesitated to thank those who helped them profusely and were particularly grateful to [[Felldoh]].

When Felldoh, a group of former slaves, and the Rosehip Players launched a desperate attack against Marshank, Groot was among them, fighting as bravely as any other. Although he had no known previous experience as a fighter, he was a very good shot with a bow and arrows. He was also very adept at making bows and using them to reuse spent arrows against the vermin soldiers. His skills, bravery, and tenacity allowed his friends to hold out against a force many times their number and much more experienced in warfare.

===Trivia===
*The word ''Groot'', in Holland, means "great" or "large" and is a common Dutch surname.
