Rushtooth is a glossy furred, light brown tabby cat[1] or a light brown tom.[2]
History[]
In The Broken Code arc[]
A Light in the Mist[]
- Houndleap is ordered by Ashfur to take Mapleshade and Rushtooth to search for Rootspring and the other cats who have snuck into the Dark Forest. Ashfur warns Houndleap, Mapleshade, and Rushtooth to be on the look out for Stemleaf and his friends, as it is impossible for the deceased group of cats to hide from Ashfur forever. After capturing Rootspring, Rushtooth appears and sounds breathless, saying that Ashfur is on his way and that he sounded very pleased to have learned that Rootspring was captured. Rushtooth hovers behind Ashfur with Houndleap, ears twitching with interest, but Rootspring notices that Rushtooth nor Houndleap have any idea that Ashfur is destroying the Dark Forest on purpose.
- Rushtooth and Mapleshade are told to stay and guard Rootspring, while Houndleap leaves with Ashfur. They are soon joined by Darkstripe and Silverhawk, however, and when Rootspring tells Darkstripe that he needs to speak with him, Rushtooth pricks their ears up in curiosity, wanting to know what Rootspring could possibly want with Darkstripe. They continue to watch the exchange with great interest, their eyes sharp and attentive to the conversation around them. After Firestar takes control of Rootspring's body and greets Rushtooth, the brown cat bares his teeth and hisses, but does not exchange pleasantries with the StarClan cat.
- Firestar tries to convince Rushtooth and the other Dark Forest cats that Ashfur is manipulating them, and that it is not possible for every Dark Forest cat to slip into a living cat's body. Shifting uneasily, Rushtooth asks why not, and Firestar shrugs. He asks Rushtooth that if it were true, why did Ashfur make all of the Dark Forest cats wait while he did the work in Bramblestar's body. Firestar tells Rushtooth, Mapleshade, Darkstripe, and Silverhawk to let Rootspring go, and while Firestar does not initially reveal his identity, Darkstripe is the very first cat to guess that it is the ginger tom from when he was alive in the forest.
- Rushtooth is rooted to the ground and does not move when Firestar and Darkstripe briefly scuffle, and later says that he does not want anything to do with Ashfur, Darkstripe, Firestar, and any of the other Dark Forest cats. He turns and runs into the forest, disappearing among the many brambles and dead plant life.

Spottedleaf's Heart[]
- When Spottedpaw goes to the Dark Forest for the first time, she sees a light brown tabby sitting beside a tree trunk whom the apprentice guesses is from RiverClan. After Mapleshade stops Thistleclaw's fight with Houndleap and tells the ThunderClan warrior he will fight Rushtooth, the Dark Forest cat stands up. Spottedpaw later sees Mapleshade telling Rushtooth what a disgrace they are after losing the fight with Thistleclaw.

Trivia[]
Mistakes[]
- There is inconsistency with Rushtooth's description. In their first appearance, they are called a light brown tabby and inconsistently as a she-cat and a tom.[1] In A Light in the Mist, they are called a light brown tom.[3][4][5]
