Sharptooth (creature)

Sharptooth is a huge, tawny mountain lion.

Moonrise

 * Sharptooth is first mentioned as a mountain lion, living in a cave near the Tribe of Rushing Water 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.


 * 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. However, they could not go back to the Tribe until Sharptooth is killed, so they decide to live as loners in a cave where they met Brambleclaw, Squirrelpaw, Crowpaw, Feathertail, Tawnypelt, and Stormfur.


 * 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, but killing Feathertail as well.

Sunset

 * Sharptooth is briefly mentioned by Brook when she and Brambleclaw discuss the badger attack.

Trivia

 * Crowfeather called him Sharpclaw when he was referring to Feathertail's death in Crowfeather Speaks: A Forbidden Love.
