LionClan was a great Clan, along with the other ancient Clans, TigerClan and LeopardClan. Named after the fact that they are comprised of lions, LionClan is the subject of many Clan myths and legends. They are known to be very strong, and have great flowing manes like the rays of the sun.[1] When a cat fights well in battle, it is said that they "fought like LionClan."

- LionClan appeared in the legend "How LeopardClan Won the River." The leader, Goldenstar, and the TigerClan leader, Shadestar, made a bet with Fleetfoot, a LeopardClan warrior, that if he could kill a wild boar called Rage, then they would give LeopardClan the river as their hunting grounds for one moon. Little did Fleetfoot know, that Rage's mate, Fury, who was even more fierce than Rage, was waiting for her.
- Petalkit, was stolen by the TigerClan warrior Thorntooth, and LionClan, along with LeopardClan, later banished TigerClan to a moon of only hunting at night, letting the sun not touch their pelts, and letting no one see them.
