Tadpole

Tadpole is a black tom kit with hazel eyes.

Return to the Clans

 * Tadpole is the oldest of his siblings. He seems to be the bravest, strongest, and leader of the three, especially when his sister Moth worries if they'll see foxes; he comforts her saying he'll let no fox hurt her. Hawk also seems to look to him, always wanting to do anything he does. He encourages Hawk when he falls down after trying to climb up a set of logs after him.


 * After seeing his mother, Sasha, feeling down after she tells them the story about her housefolk, Tadpole devises a plan to go to Twolegplace to find Ken. He leads the way out of the forest, running into one of Sasha's old friends they don't even know, who was Shnuky, and doesn't accept her offer of help. They take the wrong path, running into some former BloodClan cats who threaten to turn him and his siblings into collars. They run for their lives, dodging dogs and other obstacles and then take shelter inside a basement of an old, abandoned Twoleg nest, only to become trapped inside.


 * It starts to rain and the kits huddle together in a corner, only for a pipe to burst, pouring fast running water out. Once Hawk spots Sasha through the window, Tadpole rushes to help his brother and sister climb to safety, but he falls back in the fast rising-water. Hawk and Moth reach outside telling Sasha to help him. Sasha goes to the window, yelling for him to grab her paw. Tadpole sees her, but is unable to reach and he drowns. Hawk and Moth are horrified at his death and Sasha feels numb. Sasha later tells Russetfur, a ShadowClan warrior, that one of her kits had died.


 * Later, in a dream when she speaks to Tigerstar, asking about Tadpole. Tigerstar replies that their son is fine but not with him because Tigerstar walked the Dark Forest. It is strongly guessed that Tadpole might hunt with StarClan.
