Sharptooth (creature)

Sharptooth is a huge tawny mountain lion living in a cave near the Tribe.

Moonrise

 * Sharptooth is first mentioned as a mountain lion preying on the Tribe cats. He is greatly feared by the cats and Cave-Guards are assigned to go with hunting groups to watch out for him. The Tribe cats believe he was once a lion, but was so evil his mane fell off.


 * It is revealed that 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 and went to live as loners in a cave, where they met the six questing cats.


 * 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 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, as Feathertail leaps onto a stalactite, pulling it down and impaling him.

Sunset

 * Sharptooth is not seen, but briefly mentioned by Brook when she and Brambleclaw are discussing the badger attack.

Trivia

 * Crowfeather called it Sharpclaw when he was referring to Feathertail's death.
