The Great Sycamore is a large sycamore tree in the ThunderClan forest territory.[1]


Description

It is located near Snakerocks, east of the ThunderClan camp, closer to the ShadowClan border.[1] It is one of the tallest trees in the forest, described as a gigantic tree with its crown stretching beyond the canopy that shields the sky.[2] Its branches are strong all the way to the ends, and its roots are thick, twisting around its base and burrowing far into the earth.[2] Young apprentices learn and master their climbing skill and dare one another to climb higher.[3] Sometimes, it can also serve as the use of an ideal hunting place or a place to master stalking.
