Scorchfur/Main article

Scorchfur is a dark gray tom with ragged, slashed ears, one of which is torn.

Scorchfur is a warrior of ShadowClan, the mate of Snowbird, known for his sharp tongue and open criticism of authority. During Rowanstar's reign, Scorchfur was among the leader's harshest critics, gladly joining the Kin when Darktail took control of Shadowclan. Even after his return, Scorchfur was quick to clash with Clan authority, particularly Leafstar during his time as a SkyClan warrior, who sent away his pregnant daughter, Yarrowleaf. When Tigerheart returned to revive the fallen ShadowClan, Scorchfur was relieved to once again serve his Clan under a leader he respected.

Power of Three

 * He is a ShadowClan apprentice under Snaketail, and fights against WindClan and RiverClan during the great battle. Despite being an apprentice, he fathers Berryheart, Cloverfoot and Rippletail during this time.

Omen of the Stars

 * Now a warrior with the name of Scorchfur, he participates in the fight for the border and survives, helping carry the body of Russetfur when the fight is over. He also fights against the Place of No Stars when they attack, and is heavily wounded during the fight.

A Vision of Shadows

 * When Snowbird falls ill with yellowcough, he frets over her and openly questions Rowanstar constantly, and comes up with the idea to keep Twigpaw captive in exchange for lungwort, and berates Crowfrost when the deputy lets her go so she can avoid falling sick. When Rowanstar leaves to go to the gathering, Scorchfur reprimands him for his past choices and decides to join Darktail, becoming part of The Kin. However, upon seeing Darktail's cruelty, he regrets it.


 * He and Snowbird have a third litter of kits, and Snowbird cannot find enough food to feed herself and their three kits, resulting in Scorchfur taking more prey then usual, which in turn leads to Darktail punishing Scorchfur harshly. He fights to drive out the kin, but still dislikes Rowanstar. His sharp tongue, and lack of respect for Rowanstar is one of the reasons Rowanstar disbands ShadowClan and annexes them to SkyClan, though Scorchfur openly defies Leafstar when she turns away the heavily pregnant Yarrowleaf. When Tigerheart is resurrected and reinstates ShadowClan, Scorchfur helps Juniperclaw and Snowbird destroy SkyClan's dens, and is assigned by Tigerstar to guard Alderheart when the young ThunderClan medicine cat helps out in ShadowClan's camp, though Cloverfoot is able to get him to help out with herbs. When Cloverfoot is announced as deputy, he is the first to cheer his daughter's name.

The Broken Code

 * He is the appointed mentor to Flaxpaw.

Super Editions

 * In Bramblestar's Storm, he is revealed to be the father of Snowbird's latest litter of kits, noted by Bramblestar to be looking smug at the gathering when Blackstar announces it. He also takes part in the battle against the badgers, and is helps fight with Bramblestar, to which the gray tom compliments the ThunderClan leader's fighting skills.


 * In Tigerheart's Shadow, he is one of Rowanstar's harshest criticizers and attempts to leave for SkyClan with Juniperclaw, but he is stopped by Tigerheart. He and Snowbird later tell Tigerheart that they like him over Rowanstar, and tell him that they will only take orders from him, frustrating Tigerheart.
