Pellit was male dormouse of Redwall Abbey. He was a bit old and fat, and worked as a helper in the Kitchen. Because of his age, he was prone to falling asleep in random places instead of doing an assigned task. This fact tended to cause arguments between Pellit and other kitchen helpers, so Abbess Tansy relocated him to the Sickbay as an Infirmary Assistant, which he agreed suited him better anyway.
