Buxton was a fat male mole who lived at Redwall Abbey. He was an expert digger. Foremole chose Buxton, Dan'l, and Groaby to dig a tunnel and help save the oarslaves kept captive by the crew of the Darkqueen. During the siege of the Abbey, Buxton helped Drubber, Danty, and Mother Mellus water the gates which had been inflamed by fire arrows. Like all moles, Buxton was extremely fond of raspberry cream pudding.
