Sharptooth is the name that cats use to refer to mountain lions.[1] These creatures are savage and dangerous, and they are enemies to cats.[1]
Description[]
- Mountain lions, or cougars, are large members of the felidae family. They have round heads, powerful limbs and shoulders, large clawed feet, and slender bodies. Coloring varies very little among the species, and the coat color is usually tawny and unmarked.
- The mountain lion is a predatory animal and typically feasts on a wide range of animals, which can be as large as deer or as small as rodents. They are territorial and prefer to survive alone. These animals are powerfully built for climbing, leaping and short distance speed.
Relation to cats[]
- In the Warriors series, Sharptooths are shown to be an enemy to cats, and even the mere mention of their name invokes strong fear. The Sharptooth in Moonrise preyed upon the Tribe of Rushing Water and picked off cats one by one.
History[]
In The New Prophecy arc[]
Moonrise[]
- When the journeying cats come across the Tribe of Rushing Water, a Sharptooth is terrorizing the Tribe cats and killing them, one after the other. On one occasion, a group of cats witness Sharptooth grabbing fellow Tribemate Star That Shines On Water and carrying her off. As the Sharptooth attacks the Tribe once again, Crowpaw, a WindClan apprentice, is about to be killed, until Feathertail of RiverClan manages to dislodge a stalactite and drives it into the body of Sharptooth, killing it. However, the force of the impact severely injures Feathertail in the process, and while she ascends to StarClan upon dying from the forceful impact, it is revealed she can walk with both StarClan and the ancestors of the Tribe, known as the Tribe of Endless Hunting.
