Moles

Background

Moles in Narnia are sturdy earth-workers rather than comic background animals. They dig, build, and think in practical terms. That grounded quality makes them useful allies when the old Narnians gather in secret or prepare for war.

How the race functions in Narnia

Lewis often uses moles to bring homely good sense into grander adventures. They are not flashy, but they are dependable. Their love of tunneling and solid work gives Narnia another kind of strength, one built from patience instead of spectacle.
