1. Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but do not side with them during battle.

2. Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory unless the entire Clan is slowly dying of starvation or sickness.

3. Elders and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors.

4. Prey is killed only to be eaten, but apprentices may use the prey for training and/or kits may practice stalking on the prey.

5. A kit must be six moons old to become an apprentice. Before they are an apprentice, they may not venture out of the camp. They must stay in the camp at all times.

6. Any apprentice or newly made warrior that comes upon a badger or fox must not challenge it. They must immediately tell a senior warrior so the he/she can handle the fox or badger.

7. A deputy cannot be made deputy without mentoring at least one apprentice unless he/she is mentoring his/her first apprentice while completing his/her duties as deputy.

8. The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires.

9. After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.

10. Every full moon, no fighting is to occur, day or night. Any plans of revenge, invasion, fights, or battles can wait.

11. Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Question any trespassing cats.

12. No warrior may neglect a kit in pain or in danger, even if that kit is from a different Clan.

13. You must listen to the leader, deputy, and medicine cat. Do not question them. Do everything they tell you to do.

14. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his or her battles.

15. A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.

WARNING: This is not the actual Warrior Code. I changed it up for this book because these are different Clans, which means they gotta have a different Warrior Code. Some are the exact same, some are changed up a bit, and other are totally different/new. I do not own any of the already-existing Warrior Code. That credit belongs to Erin Hunter.
