Tawnyspots

Tawnyspots is a light gray tabby tom with amber eyes and tufted ears.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * Tawnyspots is first seen when Bluekit and Snowkit venture out of the nursery and see him. After the battle with RiverClan, Tawnyspots boasts that he had Ottersplash in a grip so tight that she had to beg him to let her go. He later comes up with the idea to weave thick, waxy leaves through the elders' den, so it won't flood and the elders won't complain. Rosepaw, Smallear, Sweetpaw, Sparrowpelt, Snowpaw, Adderfang, and Thistlepaw come with him to collect the leaves.


 * Tawnyspots is made deputy by Sunstar after Pinestar leaves the Clan to become a kittypet. He lectures Bluefur on how she's moping around camp, not doing anything, because of Snowfur's death. He then tells her that she's going to the Gathering that night. He soon falls ill, and Adderfang stands in as temporary deputy. He later is healed by Featherwhisker's treatment. When Goosefeather talks to Bluefur, he remarks that Tawnyspots will not die yet.Tawnyspots's sickness is recurring, and grows worse with time.


 * Eventually it renders him so weak that he must step down from the position of deputy. There are two warriors that have a good chance at succeeding him - Bluefur and Thistleclaw. He ends up being succeeded by Bluefur, much to the anger of Thistleclaw.


 * It is said that he retired to the elders' den afterward, and later died slowly and painfully of his unnamed sickness.

Forest of Secrets

 * Tawnyspots does not appear, but mentioned when Bluestar explains to Fireheart that Tawnyspots decided to retire, so she had to give up her kits to become deputy. If she hadn't, Thistleclaw would've taken Tawnyspots's position as deputy and stained the forest red with blood.

Trivia

 * It was revealed by Vicky that his mate was Willowpelt, and she bore his only kit, Darkstripe.
 * Tawnyspots' name has an odd twist, as Tawnyspots is neither tawny nor spotted.
