Stonepelt

Stonepelt is a dark gray tabby tom with a large battle scar on his shoulder.

Secrets of the Clans

 * Stonepelt was Bluestar's (then known as Bluepaw) first mentor and a well-respected warrior of ThunderClan. It is revealed in this book that he took her to the Gathering on her second day as an apprentice, because she had caught a squirrel that had been as big as she was.

Bluestar's Prophecy

 * Stonepelt is first seen when Bluekit and Snowkit are wandering around the camp and hide in the warriors' den. They wake him up, and he tells them not to come into the warriors' den again until they are warriors. Later in the book, he is given Bluepaw as an apprentice, after the ceremony he remarks that Bluepaw is still not allowed in the warriors' den. On the apprentice's first day of training, he takes her moss gathering, much to her dismay. He shows her how to gather it by using her claws. He tells her that everytime she collects moss like that, she is learning how to cleanly scratch an enemy's muzzle and kill prey swiftly.
 * He takes her out for her first hunting lesson the next day, and is very proud when she catches a squirrel as big as she is. As a reward, he takes her to the Gathering. He proves himself to be a very loving, yet stern mentor to Bluepaw.


 * During the battle with WindClan, he receives a bad injury on his shoulder. When it doesn't heal properly, he is forced to retire as an elder, as he cannot hunt or fight properly anymore. Sunfall then takes his place as Bluepaw's mentor. Also, when Smallear cannot get any sleep in the warriors den because of Bluefur's kits, he said that he would see if he could squeeze in for a nap in the elders den with Stonepelt.


 * At the end of the book, he is dead, although the cause of his demise in unknown.
