Shrewtooth

Shrewtooth is a skinny black tom.

SkyClan's Destiny

 * Shrewtooth is introduced in the the book when he eats with Cherrytail and Sparrowpelt. He is seen constantly casting suspious glances in their direction. Later on, he accidentally frightens the Clan into thinking they are under attack when the daylight warriors, Snookpaw, Billystorm, and Ebonyclaw come in. He is described as a very jumpy, nervous cat. When Sagepaw falls from the cliff, Shrewtooth sees his almost-still body and screaches that he's dead, frightening some cats and annoying Leafstar.


 * Later in the book, Leafstar is confronted by Ebonyclaw, who asks her to take Shrewtooth on a hunting patrol to show him he is welcome in SkyClan, as he seems to be scared to ask anyone for himself. While they are out, Shrewtooth catches a thrush and is very confident and pleased with himself when they walk past a dilapidated Twoleg nest. It is later revealed that he had been found by the grubby old Twoleg who lived there and neglected Shrewtooth by feeding him rotting food or not feeding him at all. Shrewtooth goes into scared shock because he believes that Leafstar has led him into a trap, and that she wants him gone. Leafstar doesn't understand his fear at first until Petalnose realizes the problem. He is brought back to camp and treated by Echosong. As he gets treated by Echosong, Leafstar and Petalnose hear his story as they now know a dog lives there and Shrewtooth escaped all by himself impressing Petalnose as she and her kits needed to get rescued.


 * When SkyClan makes the plan to strike fear toward the Twoleg that neglected him, Shrewtooth wants to come with them for revenge and to face his fears. Leafstar is worried that he might freeze with fear again when he sees the Twoleg and the dog. Eventually, Leafstar and Sharpclaw convince Shrewtooth to stay behind and guard the camp with some other warriors and apprentices.

Trivia

 * He is depicted with a white muzzle in the SkyClan's Destiny manga.
