LionClan (mythological)

LionClan was a great Clan, along with the other ancient clans: TigerClan and LeopardClan. Named after the fact that they are comprised of lions, LionClan is the subject of many Clan myths and legends. They are known to be very strong, and have great manes. When a cat fights well in battle, it is said that they "fought like LionClan."

In Secrets of the Clans

 * The legend "How Snakes Came to the Forest" in Secrets of the Clans tells the story of how Snakerocks came to be infested with adders. A proud LionClan warrior, Sunpelt, went to Snakerocks to face the giant serpent, Mouthclaw, who lived there. They battle and Sunpelt eventually defeats Mouthclaw, telling her that he'll spare her life if she'll shrink down to the size of a cat's tail. Mouthclaw agreed, but tricked Sunpelt by turning herself into thousands of tiny snakes, each the length of a cat's tail, but each just as venomous as Mouthclaw. At first, Goldenstar, LionClan's leader, was angry with Sunpelt when he heard about what had happened, but later agreed that many small snakes were less threatening than Mouthclaw herself.


 * Goldenstar's only kit, Petalkit, was stolen by the TigerClan warrior Thorntooth, and LionClan, along with LeopardClan, later banished TigerClan to a moon of only hunting at night, and letting none see them.
