History

In the Field Guides

Battles of the Clans

"Rabbittail was not used to giving up."

―Webfoot about Rabbittail ^{Battles of the Clans, page 65}

Webfoot narrates a story about Rabbittail, mentioning that the warrior is his distant ancestor. During Rabbittail's time, there was conflict between WindClan and ShadowClan over the boundary, because the future Thunderpath had not been built yet. When they went into battle one day, Rabbittail was one of the cats that crawled into one of the many tunnels, ready to attack when the enemy came overhead. He decided that if he crawled down farther into the tunnel, he could attack from behind. When the cats began to fight, he started going farther and farther into the tunnel, beneath the ShadowClan warriors. When he was satisfied, he tried finding a way to dig up from the tunnel, but he could not, and he found that he was lost.

He decided to turn and go back the way he had come after a few moments of cold darkness. When Rabbittail was almost out of the tunnel, he heard a scrabbling noise behind him. He turned around and saw a dog in the tunnel. Rabbittail ran as fast as he could, and made it out alive. As soon as Rabbittail came out, he became trapped in a net, while a Twoleg approached. He saw a bunch of dead rabbits, and realized the dog was being used to chase them out. He struggled to get loose from the mesh, and, once he did, the dog chased after him again. Then the Twoleg shouted and the dog turned back, leaving Rabbittail safe to go back to WindClan.

Quotes

"I will tell you about a distant ancestor of mine, a young tunneler named Rabbittail who lived in the very early time of the Clans, before the Twolegs built the Thunderpath that cut ShadowClan off from the rest of the forest."

―Webfoot describing Rabbittail ^{Battles of the Clans, page 62}

"Certain cats—usually the smallest—were trained as tunnelers, clearing the secret passageways and memorizing the cobweb of paths that led underground."

―Heathertail describing tunnelers ^{Battles of the Clans, page 66}
