Friar Broggle

Friar Broggle was a male squirrel resident of Redwall Abbey. He was the husband of Fwirl and the father of Sister Rosabel. Broggle had a noticeably bad stutter until Boorab the Fool taught him to sing, which significantly reduced it; the stutter returned occasionally when he was nervous. In time, he would develop a fine tenor voice and sing as often as possible. Broggle worked as a kitchen assistant, eventually succeeding Friar Bobb as the Abbey's Head Cook. He was skilled with a needle and thread as well as a kitchen knife.

Broggle helped Mhera and Gundil with Abbess Songbreeze's riddle. He was friends with Hoarg, and once told Rosabel that he found the life of a scholar to be more rewarding than that of a cook.
