A mouse? by

Mice are traditionally portrayed as skittish, and Orion was discribed as such by his PPC wiki page (then again, this is Redwall, where they carry giant swords...)

I was leaning towards a mouse myself, as most of the action takes place in the Abbey itself, but I wanted other peoples' opinions. Well, off to the writing I go!

It might be interesting to have a sparrow, or some bird, because of the flying capabilities. Just an idea. :D

Outside of a certain time period, I would think that a sparrow would stand out a bit too blatantly.

Not to mention the DORKS inflicts the accents on the user. by

Sparra speak is A) politically incorrect (if you look closely it's based on stereotypical Native American accents, a la Disney's Peter Pan - I'm pretty sure this is why they only showed up in two books) and B) hard to type. Mice can get away without using unusual accents at all.

Or at least, around the same time period at the end of said book.

Tigers? by

In Mossflower, size counts. Just look at the horse in the beginning of Redwall. All species are described to scale.
Tigers. People. -

Who are apparently bigger than badgers, and no one comments on this besides saying "My, I've never seen someone as tall as you" and then continuing on like nothing's wrong.

... but I should point out that it's horrifically not-work-safe.
I was annoyed by the unicorn thing because it's a shoutout to Spellsinger, another favourite book series of mine. I wasn't sure whether to be pleased someone else knew of it, or stunned because "WTF did I just read?!" -

See, what happened was, out of absolutely nowhere, Skipper randomly announces to Martin that his "cousin Mudge" knows a unicorn. Martin did not react in the least to hearing this. Skipper also picked a ... very inappropriate time to say so, if you catch my drift. It took me a few moments to be certain I hadn't read it wrong.
