Bat Mountpit
Bat Mountpit is a western mountain located in between Redwall Abbey and Salamandastron on the Great South Stream. Just east of the Toadlands, it is near a large waterfall. The residents are a tribe of blind bats who rely on hearing and smell. One bat, Rockhanger, has alleged that if he tried hard enough, he could see.
The bats live in caverns full of tunnels, streams, and waterfalls and farm the cave ledges, while fishing the subterranean lakes. The Great South Stream flows underneath the mountain. In Outcast of Redwall, many bats of Bat Mountpit were slain by Swartt Sixclaw's horde members. After Sunflash the Mace heaved Swartt off the top of the mountain, the ferret's final resting place was believed to be the bottom. Bryony and Togget followed Veil Sixclaw to Bat Mountpit as well, where Veil also died.
As a result of living in caves, the bats repeat the last part of their sentences, giving the impression of speaking in echoes. Leaders of Bat Mountpit are referred to as Lords.
