The Ultimate Warrior Cats Guide

-SHADOWCLAN-

Shadow clan

ShadowClan are proud, loyal, defensive, and slightly arrogant. They often seem to be misunderstood and said by the other Clans as battle-hungry, aggressive, ambitious, and greedy for more territory. It was often told when the Clans were in the forest, that the cold north wind of the mountains chilled the ShadowClan warriors' hearts. However, as Rock states in Cats of The Clans, ShadowClan has the smallest amount of territory and prey, which may justify their willingness to add anything to the fresh-kill pile. Even though their fierce warriors and hostile leaders gave ShadowClan its reputation, their leader Dawnstar led Firestar to believe ShadowClan was not always as unfair and cruel as they seem now. Their main prey is reptiles and amphibians, such as lizards and frogs. When ShadowClan lived in the old forest, their secret food source was the carrionplace, though they were careful not to eat crow-food. They also hunt rats from this area when prey is scarce. ShadowClan cats hunt best at night and are better than others at sneaking through undergrowth. In battle, ShadowClan cats use shadows as an advantage to fighting.

1. Clan name
ShadowClan

ShadowClan is a group of cats that live in the marshlands and pines of the forest. Their founding leader, Shadowstar, was the first ever leader prior to the group being named. By extension, the prefix "Shadow" was thought to be given to the Clan.

5. What are some special landmarks?
FOREST TERRITORY

1. ShadowClan camp: A dark, well-concealed hollow, the campis
hidden deep in the shadows and is surrounded by brambles as
prickly and fierce as the hearts of ShadowClan warrior,.
2. Carrionplace: Yuck! Smell that? This is an evil place where rats and disease lurk.
3. Thunderpath tunnel: The ability of ShadowClan cats to move freely across the most feared border of the Thunderpath has enhanced their reputation for
mysterious strength and invincibility.
4. Burnt Sycamore: An ancient tree destroyed by
lightning many moons ago. Apprentices are
often trained here to hunt at night and stalk
noiselessly through the undergrowth

LAKE TERRITORY

1. Shadow Clan camp: Much closer to Twolegs than forest home,
but the camp is still well hidden and should be difficult for
enemies to attack
2. Twoleg nest: Horne to two aggressive kitypets. Don't let them
catch you out alone, or you're kittypet food!
3. Twoleg path: Steer clear of these during greenleaf. Twolegs
tramp up and down these paths all season long!
4. Greenleaf Twolegplace: Another place haunted throughout
greenleaf by Twolegs, who put up small dens and build
terrifying little fires here. On the plus side, sometimes they
leave behind food like we used to find at Carrionplace:

8. What are the dens like?
FOREST TERRITORY
The forest was quite different on ShadowClan's side of the Thunderpath. Instead of thick trees, there were more pine needles. The camp was protected by brambles, and the entrance was through a tiny path. There was hardly any grass, but the ground was muddy and cool. The leader's den was beneath the roots of a big oak tree. The warriors' den was under a bramble bush. The den looked prickly on the outside, but on the inside, it was lined with pine needles and moss. There was a smooth boulder at the edge of the clearing, known as Clanrock, which served as a higher place for the leader to address the camp. Propped up next to this large rock was another rock, and it created a sheltered cave underneath, which was deemed the medicine den. Sick cats could rest in the ferns surrounding the boulder. There was another hollow shielded by a thorn bush. This was the nursery, and the thorn bush provided protection.

LAKE TERRITORY
The camp has a small pool nearby, so the cats don't have to go all the way to the bottom of the lake to fetch water for elders or the medicine cats. The actual camp is in a tangle of brambles, with low-hanging branches and boulders all around and above it. These brambles and branches help protect against badgers and other big creatures. Many trees surround the camp, enabling cats to climb up them and see the activities of the Twolegs on water. From these trees, the cats can see all the Twolegs and their water-monsters in the water. The entrance of the camp is through a thorn tunnel, and brambles. At the camp entrance is a large boulder, which cats have to slip past to enter the camp clearing. In the middle of the camp, a large patch of fern grows. There is a clear progression of dens from one side of the clearing to the other which are all in bramble thickets. The nursery is first, then the apprentices, then warriors, then the leader, and finally the elders at the end of the circle. This structure enables the kits and elders closest to the low-hanging branches and the warriors facing the entrance, if any kind of trouble. The medicine den is in a far corner, beyond the leader's den. It is a sandy, hollowed-out floor covered in dried pine needles. There, the branches are not so bunched together, letting the medicine cats examine the skies for omens. Above the leader's den, there is a hazel branch that hangs over. This serves as a kind of vantage point for the leader to address their Clan.
