Blackclaw/Main article

Blackclaw is a lean, smoky-black tom.

Blackkit is born to Shimmerpelt and Piketooth of RiverClan, along with his sister, Skykit. After the death of Brightsky, Blackkit gains her sole surviving kit, Leopardkit as a foster sister. With the rest of RiverClan, he spoils her out of pity. Soon, he is appointed as an apprentice along with his littermate, now called Blackpaw, gaining the RiverClan leader, Hailstar as his mentor. Then he becomes known as Blackclaw, proving to be a head-strong and aggressive warrior.

He is given his first apprentice, Heavypaw. At some point, he becomes mates with Mistyfoot and father to Reedwhisker, Pikepaw, Primrosepaw, and Perchkit. For unknown reasons, only Reedwhisker survives to warriorhood. At the same time, Blackclaw becomes a second-time mentor to Volepaw. Blackclaw thinks that Mistyfoot is not the rightful deputy, when another warrior, Hawkfrost, briefly takes her place, after Mistyfoot goes missing. He helps spread false rumors about her. After Hawkfrost's death, Blackclaw continued to serve a simple loyal warrior, training a third apprentice, Beechpaw, and then retiring to become an elder. After a drought at the lake territories, Blackclaw dies of thirst and hunger alongside few of his Clanmates. He goes to StarClan.
