Koor

right|300pxKoor is an abnormally nice and friendly rook and the bell-ringer of Invasion of Bugs. She first appears during the feast, and wasn't at all offended at Abbot Giotto insulting vermin, but it was cut short by Wuya the Toxic arriving at the abbey. The next day, while flying around she came across Wuya massacring the guosim, and shot to Redwall, inform Jala Furrel and Volkner Streamdog before going into the bell-tower to alert the rest, and despite her exhaustion guided everyone to the site. After that, Wuya was detected undermining into the abbey and Jala notified Koor, who raised the alarm again. Later still, she flies around and spotted a Mangonel launching rocks at the abbey, and with Myotis and Bairdon Bardwing, went to destroy it: only Myotis made it to the catapult as Bairdon was attacked by Fastwing and Koor was confronted by Dytiscus. In the end though, it all turned out to be a diversion, and Koor was the first to realize this and rush back to the abbey, but finds the vermin still lost thanks to Kav Furrel and his friends.
The next day, Myotis wrestles Parus the Manipulator after the latter tried to loot the abbey (and killed the former's parents), but the bird breaks free and avoids just about everyone. Koor and Myotis pursue Parus out the abbey, but they all but lose the great tit, and Koor laments it. The next day, she was awoken from Wuya's latest attack on the abbey and rings the bells Quasimodo-style, then with Raoul and Volkner, caught some vermin trying to sneak in while the abbey was distracted again. Koor squares off with Spikehand the mantis and eventually kills her (and dumps her body down to Wuya). Before dawn the next morning, the vole Darovit secretly lets Wuya and her horde into Redwall, and Koor was among those captured, however Darovit later attempts to free them while the vermin were distracted with Wuya and Kav's dual. Koor, seeing Darovit free Volkner, does the same herself (with her beak) to the shrew Genevieve and instructs her to do the same. Eventually, after all were freed, she takes part in the battle that erupted, killing one bug. In the end Kav slays Wuya and everything can go back to normal.
She was still the bell-ringer several seasons later, as evident by ringing them for lunchtime. Sometime after, he gets Ganner Grang and Zonder Banksnout to help catch Freja Furrel, who was up to her tricks. Later in the evening, she and Erinaceus Quill set up an arena for the party honoring Kav being the champion. She also attended the party itself, listening to Bairdon telling jokes, though found one offensive. At that moment, old enemy Parus return in the guise of a circus, douses everyone with sleep powder and makes off with Freja, Zonder and Ganner. She later woke up and was the first to notice the disappearance of the three children, plus Telma Furrel and Vakama Foeseeker. A search was done for all five, and Koor did find the two adults, only they were dead. She screeched for everyone else, and Volkner initially hoped she was pulling a prank, which she denies. The next morning, she saw the four heroes (Kav, Myotis, Erinaceus and Alzbeta Grang) and the witness Spinus set off, also assuring Erin that his wife and daughter Hedwig and Jori Quill would be safe in Redwall, but got all mad at Brother Esuom bringing up how General Ironbeak attacked Redwall while Matthias was chasing Slagar and the possibility of another warlord threatening Redwall while Kav was gone. Later in the day, she and Scarlette find Jala depressed over his lost wife. She initially tried to get Scarlette to heal him, reasoniing that she herself wasn't the right choice due to being a bird, but in the end they let Koga do it. Sometime after that, she goes on reconnaissance and to her horror finds the Brownrat tribe camping near Redwall, and with plans for it, yet never address it by name, leading Koor to believe they've found a different fort completely. She later notifies Volkner and both spread the word through the abbey. Things go from bad to worse when they realize Freja's fellow dibbuns Zootoca, Gjord and Algot Muskar have disappeared, but could do nothing about it, so she returns to surveying the vermin with Bairdon. Luckily the vermin-tribe was scared by Bairdon, Volkner and the guosim. 
She isn't seen much afterwards, but when the heroes return with their loved-ones and new faces, Koor quickly alerted the abbey. She saw Alzbeta and Poove marry.
