Tail signals

ShadowClan was the first to devise a system of tail signals, which are now used by all Clans. Generally, the leader of the patrol is responsible for giving the signals; warriors learn to keep the leader's tail in sight at all times and react at once when a order is given.

Signals

Tail Rippling: 'Move Forward With Care'

Tail Kinked Over Back: 'Follow Me'

Tail Flicking Over Back: 'Leave, But Be Careful'
