Mythology
LionClan
LionClan is believed to have been home to the ancestors of the five Clans of the forest, and is no longer in existence. LionClan cats had pure gold coats and flowing manes like the rays of the sun.
At Snakerocks, there was a huge snake called Mouthclaw that could swallow a warrior whole. A lion named Sunpelt fought with Mouthclaw, and eventually won. Mouthclaw told him that if he spared her life, she would grant him a wish. Sunpelt wished she would shrink down to the length of a cat's tail. But Mouthclaw was too tricky, and instead, there were hundreds of small snakes. Goldenstar was angry at Sunpelt, but then he forgave him because he rid the forest of Mouthclaw.
TigerClan
TigerClan is believed to have been home to the ancestors of the five Clans of the forest, and is no longer in existence. TigerClan cats had flame-colored coats and black stripes. They were known as good night hunters.
TigerClan cats were once plain orange. They were jealous because they had no distinguishing features like LionClan's flowing manes and LeopardClan's swiftness. One TigerClan warrior, named Thorntooth, was especially bitter, and he took to raiding other Clans during the night, stealing their kits and fresh-kill. He was caught stealing Goldenstar's daughter, Petalkit, and the entire Clan was punished. The light of the sun did not touch their pelts and they did not speak to cats from other Clans for one whole moon. After that they all had black stripes.
LeopardClan
LeopardClan cats were the swiftest of all the cats.
One legend says that there was a wild boar named Rage loose in the forest. Fleetfoot, a LeopardClan warrior, boasts that she can kill Rage. The other Clans say that if she does, LeopardClan can have the river for one moon. But Goldenstar and Shadestar didn't tell her that Rage had a mate. Fleetfoot kills Rage, but then Rage's mate, Fury, comes. Exhausted, Fleetfoot pushes the boar off a cliff to her death. Goldenstar and Shadestar were ashamed of their treachery, so they let LeopardClan have the river forever.
