"How dare a WindClan cat judge RiverClan after what Onestar did! Cats died when he closed WindClan's borders. He deprived them of herbs that could save them, all because he couldn't face the fact that he'd fathered Darktail." |
— Sneezecloud about Onestar in Darkest Night, page 121 |
Sneezecloud is a gray-and-white tom.[4]
Sneezecloud is a RiverClan warrior under Mistystar's leadership in the lake territories. Sneezekit and his brother, Mallowkit, were born to Graymist. As an apprentice, Sneezepaw was mentored by Otterheart, and he later earned his warrior name, Sneezecloud. He became mates with Havenpelt and sired Fogpaw and Splashpaw with her. He participated in a secret meeting questioning Bramblestar's behavior towards the codebreakers.

In the Omen of the Stars arc
The Fourth Apprentice
- "They all looked thin and exhausted, but their eyes glittered with hostility and their fur was bristling as if they would leap into battle for a couple of mousetails."
- ―Narrator about Sneezepaw, Reedwhisker, and Otterheart The Fourth Apprentice
In the A Vision of Shadows arc
The Apprentice's Quest
- He is now a warrior named Sneezecloud.
Darkest Night
- Sneezecloud is part of a border patrol consisting of himself, Duskfur, and Shimmerpelt. The RiverClan cats confront Jayfeather, Alderheart, Puddleshine, and Kestrelflight, who claim that they need to speak to Mistystar, Mothwing, and Willowshine. The medicine cats tell RiverClan's patrol that they need to deliver a prophecy sent from StarClan to RiverClan's leader and medicine cats. Shimmerpelt tells them that the border surrounding RiverClan is closed, but when Jayfeather asks if it is closed to StarClan too, Sneezecloud looks past the medicine cats, noting that he doesn't see any StarClan cats behind them.
- The medicine cats continue to try to convince RiverClan warriors to let them see Mistystar, but without success. Jayfeather states that they must share StarClan's news, but Sneezecloud shows his teeth and answers that if it is important, they will let RiverClan know. Kestrelflight points out that StarClan may have only wanted to share with cats behaving like a real Clan, and Sneezecloud angrily asks how a WindClan cat dare judge RiverClan after cats suffered from Onestar closing his border, all because he couldn't face the fact that he fathered Darktail. Kestrelflight answers that it has nothing to do with Onestar, who is now dead.

- At a Gathering, Rootpaw spots Sneezecloud and Bristlefrost. When Bramblestar's impostor adamantly insists punishments for the codebreakers, Sneezecloud and others from the meeting shrink away in fear.
