Mr. Beaver

"Look at my fur. You couldn't give me 10 minutes warning?" "I'd have given a week if I thought it would've helped."

- Mrs and Mr Beaver. He-Beaver, also known as Mr. Beaver, was the husband of She-Beaver.

Description
He was a gruff but good hearted Beaver, with a sense of humour, and who firmly believed in Aslan and a free Narnia. He also highly despised the White Witch above all else.

In the 2005 film, his best friend was a badger.

Biography
He was friends with Mr. Tumnus, who had confided in him that a human, Lucy, had arrived in Narnia, and gave him the handkerchief that she had originally given him, to show the Pevensies that Mr. Beaver was indeed a friend.

He met the Pevensies shortly after they all arrived in Narnia, and took them to his house.



He explained the reason why they were all there, about the prophecy and how they were all destined to defeat the White Witch.

He also recognised early on that Edmund might be a traitor, as he had the look of someone who had been with the witch and eaten her food.

When Edmund betrayed them, leaving for the White Witch's Castle, He-Beaver and his wife then led the rest of the Pevensies to the Stone Table, where they met Aslan.

Mr. Beaver was outraged when the Witch continued to call herself the Queen of Narnia, despite Aslan's return and everything. And when she made a claim on Edmund's life, because of the old laws written on the Stone Table, he remarked: -

"Oh, so that's how you came to imagine yourself a queen - because you were the emperor's hangman."

- Mr. Beaver.

Mr. Beaver fought in the First Battle of Beruna, after which both he and his wife attended the Pevensies' coronation, during which when Aslan left and the children asked after him, Mr. Beaver replied: -

"He'll be coming and going. One day you'll see him and another you won't. He doesn't like being tied down - and of course he has other countries to attend to. It's quite all right. He'll often drop in. Only you mustn't press him. He's wild you know. Not like a tame lion."

- Mr. Beaver.

He and his wife most likely continued to serve their new monarchs, both as their loyal subjects and devoted friends, until the Pevensies were swept back to their own world. Later, he, along with his wife, are among the ones allowed in Aslan's Country.
