Sharptooth (creature)

Sharptooth is a huge, tawny mountain lion.

Moonrise

 * Sharptooth is mentioned to be a lion-cat (mountain lion), living in a cave near the Tribe of Rushing Water, preying on the Tribe cats. He is greatly feared by the Tribe, and cave-guards are assigned to go with hunting groups to watch out for him.


 * The Tribe of Endless Hunting chose six cats to go out and kill Sharptooth. Three of them were killed, while the other three, Bird, Rock, and Talon, survived. However, they could not go back to the Tribe until Sharptooth was killed, as it was the will of their ancestors, so they decided to live as loners in a cave.
 * Stoneteller receives a prophecy that a silver cat would come and save them from Sharptooth.  He tells this to the Tribe.


 * When Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight, Stormfur, Tawnypelt, Crowpaw, and Feathertail arrive at the Tribe's home, Stoneteller thinks Stormfur is the silver cat to save them from Sharptooth, and the cats are forced to stay with them.  The Clan cats attempt to leave, but they meet Bird, Rock, and Talon, who are in hiding.  They all form a plan to defeat Sharptooth and return to the Tribe.


 * In an attack on the Cave of Rushing Water, he kills a kit-mother of the Tribe, Star, and takes her away. The six Clan cats, as part of their plan, try to kill Sharptooth with a mountain hare filled with deathberries, but to no avail, he ignores it and goes after the cats. He meets his death soon, for when he begins to corner Crowpaw in the cave, Feathertail realizes it was her destiny all along to save the Tribe, not Stormfur's. She then leaps onto a stalactite, pulling it down and impaling him, instantly killing him, but along with herself, too.

After the badger attack on ThunderClan's camp, Brook mentions that she had seen that kind of savagery before, when Sharptooth was terrorizing the Tribe cats. He is also mentioned again as the cats are thanking Midnight, the badger, for bringing WindClan to help, and Brook asks why the other badgers attacked, and if they wanted to kill cats for prey, just as Sharptooth once did.

Secrets of the Clans
In "Stoneteller Speaks: The Coming of the Silver Cat", Sharptooth is mentioned by Stoneteller. Stoneteller is anxious about Sharptooth because he is killing many Tribe cats. Stoneteller receives an omen that a silver will defeat Sharptooth, and thinks Stormfur is the silver cat. He also notes that Feathertail's coat is silver, but still believes that Stormfur will save the Tribe. Stoneteller then pleads with the Tribe of Endless Hunting to help the silver cat defeat Sharptooth.

Trivia

 * In Secrets of the Clans, Crowfeather mistakenly called him Sharpclaw when he was referring to Feathertail's death in "Crowfeather Speaks: A Forbidden Love."
