- 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.
