When the clans came into existence, and Mossflower descended into all-out war, a small number of brave beasts chose to try and stop the violence, and restore Mossflower to its previous peaceful state. It has now become clear that this will never be achieved, but they still try.

The Hooded Legions do their clan duties by day, but during the night they head to a secret cave in the heart of Mossflower Woods. In this cave is stored the entire archives of Redwall Abbey; it is the only safe place for something so important. Here, the Legion meets, discusses tactics, and stores weapons. Their mission is to stop the fighting and dissolve the clans. The legion is only open to extremely brave beasts, for they also perform night-time raids on the clan chiefs and members. Only those who outwardly support the clan system and fighting are attacked, for the members of the Hooded Legions are not bullies. They simply wish for peace.

Only brave, perilous beasts who wish for peace can be allowed to join the Hooded Legions. Go here to see if you have what it takes.

Clanbeasts who are members of the Hooded Legions can be recognised by the symbol next to their name on the member scroll.
