Warrior Cats Who Should Not Have Been Leaders

The Top Ten
1 Tigerstar Tigerstar is a villain in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. Son of Leopardfoot and Pinestar, former mate of Goldenflower and Sasha, and father of Bramblestar, Tawnypelt, Mothwing, Hawkfrost, and Tadpole. This brown tabby cat almost causes the downfall of the clans. But is killed, firstly by Scourge, who strips all his lives away. And then by Firestar, who moves on to StarClan when they meet again... read more

If he had not been leader Scourge would not have come well he might have done that, and STONEFUR would not be dead why did Starclan even expect him?

I have read some comments, and think everyone who hate Tigerstar was wrong. Don't tell me, I know he's like sooo evil, but he had all the qualities of a leader, and he could have been the greatest leader ever known!
He just had too much ambition for power, that was all. And for those of you who don't know, it was revealed that when Cinderpaw/Cinderpelt got caught on the Thunderpath instead of Bluestar, he felt GUILTY and SAD! I think Starclan were right to give him a chance to be leader. He could have changed his ways. And even though he was evil, that doesn't mean he wasn't a good warrior! From Sunheart360.

Tigerstar was the worst leader ever! Tigerstar only cares about what's best for Tigerstar. He abandoned his Clan and kin when they needed him, then came back when it suited him. He also tortured and killed countless warriors and he was so disloyal. A leader is supposed to set an example for their Clan. What kind of example has Tigerstar set?

2 Brokenstar Brokenstar is a villain character from the Warrior Cats series. Brokenstar is a matted, dark brown tabby tom with a broad, flat face, a bent tail, and orange eyes. Brokenstar was a former Shadowclan leader and a member of the Dark Forest. His mother is Yellowfang and his father is Raggedstar.

Why did starclan even expect him he was so evil he killed so many kits! And he was evil and stupid and dumb and a freaking Idiot!

I think Brokenstar should be above Tigerstar on this list, because he did a few things even Tigerstar wouldn't do. First of all, he killed the previous leader, Raggedstar, who also happened to be his own father. Raggedstar still had all of his nine lives, too, so Brokenstar must've killed him in a really awful way. Second, he started training kits as young as three moons to be warriors. Third, Tigerstar's medicine cat (Runningnose) disagreed with him, but Tigerstar put up with it, when Brokenstar's medicine cat (Yellowfang) disagreed with him, he exiled her by killing two kits and making it look like she did it.

No words for how horrible this cat is. I just finished reading Yellowfang's Secret, and I just hated Brokenstar with every fiber of my being. Let's check out the heinous acts he's done, shall we?
He has:
1. Sent kits into battle when they were nowhere near old enough

2. He isolated the elders from the camp for no reason whatsoever

3. He killed kits on several occasions, breaking their mother's hearts

4. He killed Mintkit and Marigoldkit, threw the blame on Yellowfang, and exiled her

5. Tried to steal kits from ThunderClan

And
6. Teamed up with Tigerclaw to launch a brutal attack on ThunderClan

So there you have it. Worst leader in warrior cats history.

3 Onestar Onestar is a fictional character from the book series "Warriors" by Erin Hunter. He is/was a WindClan leader, and is mottled, small, brown tom cat.

I loved Onewhisker! He was helpful and noble, he loved his Clan, friends, and family more than anything! He was proud, yet not so much that it would get on people's nerves! But, then Tallstar died and made Onewhisker the last-minute leader and everything good about his character went downhill. I was so disappointed! I was so excited to have Onewhisker, one of my favorite characters, a leader! But he is a piece of useless mouse-dung. I am upset about how incompetent he is. I was so happy for him when he became leader and now I wish he had just died. :(

Onewhisker was such an amazing cat, noble and trusted the cat that practically saved him, he was one of my favourite characters and it's pretty hard to get into one of my 'favourite characters list'. AND THEN ALONG CAME ONESTAR! He literally came in and was just like, "oh I'm a dumb leader now, I better go tell Firestar what to do and go and be a dumb proud leader." When he came and said this (not really) I got so angry at the Erin's WHY ERIN'S WHY! COULDN'T YOU SEE THAT I LIKED ONEWHSIKER! I agree with most people here, if he had just stayed a warrior or even the deputy forever, then he would not be a dumb arrogant jerk!

4 Firestar Firestar is a character in the Warrior Cats series. He becomes the leader of ThunderClan after Bluestar. He is mates with Sandstorm and has two kits: Squirrelflight and Leafpool. Formerly a kittypet named Rusty, Firestar is killed by fatal wounds inflicted by the spirit of Tigerstar and a falling tree... read more

Firestar sucks
He's too nice.
The only reason people like him like crazy is because he's " smart ", " loyal ", nice, and " little miss perfect.
He wins all the time that's why he's so popular.
Villains are da best, especially Scourge.
Lame people are people who like him

He's a little bland after the first six books, but hey, I liked Firepaw/heart AND even as Firestar he was a great leader. And who could hate a cat who saved the WHOLE forest from the Dark Forest?!

Hey I play as Firestar and he is amazing. Why are you saying he shouldn't be clan leader. Speak up or I will kill you and I will kill you even if I know who said that
Firestar

5 Bramblestar Bramblestar is the leader of ThunderClan. His mate is Squrrielflight and his kits are Dandilionkit, Juniperkit, Sparkpelt and Alderheart. Bramblestar sister is Tawnypelt, his parents are Goldenflower and Tigerstar. Bramblestar is a huge and muscular dark brown tabby tom with amber eyes, he has sleek fur, long claws, and a scar on his shoulder.

Okay, okay, I'm here to complain about ONE thing. When he was ghost, floating around and annoying Rootpaw to death, Squrrielflight was oblivious to it all. I have this friend, exactly like Squrriel, and she really hates Bramblestar! I mean, the imposter actually hits his mate and she's just like "This is normal." She still believes he's her mate until Bristlefrost is like, "Hey, did you notice anything dif about Bramblestar since he lost a life." "No." *Bramblestar exiles like half, his clan, and both his deputies, and the med cats (Flipclaw's so bad at this...), and tries to kill Sparkpelt and Shadowsight. "Umm... I think he seems a bit stricter." Which proves Bramblestar was terrible to her and the piece of Fox-dung should die cold and alone!

Not really. Bramblestar made multiple bad decisions during Bramblestar's storm. Graystripe is amazing, as if Brackenfur.. Bramblestar is pretty old too. And of course he shows favoritism as choosing Squirrelfight as deputy, when Firestar was smart and chose Whitestorm. He only became leader because he was the main character in the second series.

6 Scourge Scourge is a villain the Warrior Cats series. He's the leader of BloodClan. He was bullied by his siblings, Socks and Ruby, in the past because he was the smallest out of his kin. One of his most notable features is his collar of dog teeth. Scourge is a small black tom with one white paw, ice-blue eyes, glossy fur, and a torn left ear. He has a purple collar studded with teeth from dogs and cats,... read more

He was never a true clan leader but Shame on you that you KILLED: Whitestorm, tried to kill Boulder, Killed Tigerstar (well, he deserved to die), his littermates(They starved) yea they deserved to die, Killed one of Firestar's lives. BLAH, if I was a kid in the series, I would go up to Scouge, punch him in the face, and throw him in the river for KILLing cats.

Bloodclan leader, scourge, was more than evil. he was worse then tigerstar and by the way he killed him for revenge, you can tell how bad he is. yes, tigerstar hurt and threatened scourge as a kit and tigerstar was only an apprentice. not many cats normally get revenge on another cat for attacking them when they were only an apprentice. bloodclan is a clan who doesn't care for anyone but themselves. mothers and kits are put to the side and if cats are brave enough they put dog teeth on their claws to kill others they don't like

7 Blackstar

Because Stonefur is my favorite cat, I believe Blackstar should have never become a leader. He was the deputy for the two most evil cats ever, so Starclan should have rejected him. But did they? NO. Thank you Lionblaze, for killing Russetfur and making that fool of a leader suffer.

Russetfur should have been a leader in her time, she's fierce, loyal and deserves it more than Blackstar. Plus, if she was leader she would have come back when Lionblaze accidentally killed her.

He was one of Brokenstar's biggest supporters, he stole Frostfur's kits, and he KILLED STONEFUR! Then, after he became leader, he let that creepy loner Sol take over his clan.

8 Leopardstar Leopardstar is a golden tabby she-cat with amber eyes.
Leopardstar was a leader of RiverClan in the forest and in the lake territories. Leopardkit was born to Mudfur and Brightsky alongside three unnamed kits; however, Brightsky and her littermates died during the kitting. Mudfur gave her the name of the mighty spotted cats from LeopardClan to give her the strength to survive. Shimmerpelt took... read more

She's okay. Just because she was allies with Tigerstar doesn't mean she's a bad cat; at that time, they didn't know Tigerstar was evil, and even Firestar said at one point that Tigerstar could be a convincing cat. Who HASN'T thought of the benefits a single Clan would bring? Seriously stop hating. She didn't understand the consenquences of Stonefur dying because she was new to the job and she thought that Tigerstar would know best.

So many people hate her for actually being a GOOD leader and for not befriending Firestar! Sure, she made some bad decisions during The Darkest Hour, but every leader makes mistakes and she was new at it! I wish people would stop using her disliking towards Firestar as an excuse to blame her for being one of the worst leaders in Warrior Cat history. I think she is one of the best.

What? She might have helped Tigerstar but we can all agree she made up for her mistakes becoming a loyal Riverclan leader. She dose not deserve to be on this list.

9 Clear Sky

Clear Sky is too self-centered. He sent away a hurt cat because he didn't contribute to the group. That's so rude. Jagged Peak was capable of doing other things! He isn't a burden! If Clear Sky was leader in the time of Firestar, then these cats would be gone: Brightheart, Briarlight, Longtail, Cinderpelt, all of Brightheart's kits and grand-kits, and Jayfeather. That would be pretty bad! And if he lead other clans, Crookedstar would never lead. Nor would Deadfoot become a leader. Clear Sky was just not all that smart. How come he got to found a clan?

No way! He founded skyclan! He may have and his mistakes, havnt we all? You all don't seem to understand. Clear sky is smart, clever, and rescojrceful. He was a strong leader. The pressure was hard and he made some bad descisions, but someone try to tell me if they were a first ever leader, they wouldn't be the same. He was a good cat, and I support him. Although I admit he stole his sons girlfriend. I mean, imagine a teenager breaking up with someone and a few months later she is his stepmother o-o. But back to topic, Clear sky deserved leadership. Those of ykh who complain, you have to realize he is not a Mary sue, charector make mistakes!

10 Pinestar

Pinestar was the biggest coward I've ever read about. The whole reason tigerclaw/star hated kittypets was because his father abandoned him and his clan to be one! And if he would have taken time to at least be a proper father and teacher to him, and be someone to be proud of and look up to,he would be a completely different cat. If it was not for him and thistleclaw, he would have become a loyal and friendly cat and would have made a grate leader instead of the biggest monster in the seers. Plus, sunstar,(aka a grate leader) only got 8 lives because pinestar was still alive! So pretty much pinestar is responsible for sunstars death! Horrible leader.

Aw, come on, guys! He decided to become a kittypet, and now everyone thinks he should never have been leader? Really? How about you read Pinestar's Choice?

And he's not responsible for Sunstar's death! He had no idea that was going to happen!

The Contenders
11 Rowanstar

Literally useless, sat around and did nothing, made bad decisions, etc. I can't even express what a bad leader he was, even though he was a good deputy. Tigerheart makes a way better leader than him.

Rowanstar doesn't deserve to be leader, he is so BORING, trying to act like Firestar.

Tawnypelt would've been a better leader, but Rowanstar's not that bad.

12 Oakstar

He forced mapleshade and her KITS out of the clan just because she loved Appledusk.Which led to swimming with her kits causing them to drown and Appledusk to hate her and riverclan to not let her stay which made her be evil. Wait to go Oakstar! The cats Mapleshade killed,all those deaths are your fault.

He banished kits for being born. They can't help being born!

Tigerstar killed lots of people, Tigerstar was trained by Mapleshade, mapleshade is eveil because of oakstar. that's that

13 Nightstar

He was very old and at the Gathering he didn't even have a Leader Name. Came to put that out there. He's too old and scrawny! I'd rather pick a kit or apprentice.

No he acted like brokenstar after windclan came back. He tried to drive them out AGAIN!

Too proud! Nightstar is a good character but would be better as a dep/senior warrior.

14 Darktail

He was never leader, never should been, never will be, never has been

15 Starstar

Wait like Star flower? Ha that would be funny if she became Starstar.

No even though star star had her faults like mateong the medicine herherb she was a great leader.She helped paw paw believe in himself and befriended tailtail which helped after his sister's,heart heart death

I should vote here!

16 Stupidstar
17 Leafstar

Did Sharpclaw get an omen from Starclan? NO! Sharpclaw kept secrets from Leafstar. Who does that. If he kept secrets from his leader, then he does NOT deserve to be leader himself. Also, he doesn't approve of the daylight warriors. A deputy should support his clan. Lastly, the least important thing in a leader is NAMING ABLITIES. come on, you had to be joking there. Leafstar is intelligent, brave, and kind. Those are important qualities in a leader.

Why is she on here? Is it because she had kits guys? If it is because of that your sexist. A bunch of male leaders had kits and no one complained.

Next thing we know she's probably going to be genius and come up with the name Streamfire, just wait, it'll happen. What am I doing with my life

18 Raggedstar

One of my all time favourite cats. He's cool, he's brave he's smart...

19 Ripplestar

He attacked all the other clans at the gathering, and then he ended up getting killed by starclan, and that probably means that he has done more bad things oh boy

20 Ravenstar
21 Squirrelstar

Okay, okay before you all start saying how much you hate her think about this. She was always there for leafpool she cared for her sisters kits because she wanted them to have good lives, yes she was annoying but look how much she changed. She would scarifie her life for her clan in an instant. She kind caring and was a great mother to leaf pools kits. She is a fantastic role model for girls. Like think of this there are barley any girl leaders in the clan
Think of the last girl Shadowclan leader for me. She is so forgiving and loves her clan. She's a great role model to all girls out there. She is so brave and would make a great leader.

Bramblestar died? NO! I will stop reading warriors then! With squirrelflight leader, I will stop, and I mean it.

This is not fake. After Bramblestar's death. She was so annoying during "The New Prophecy.

22 Tallstar Tallstar is a large, black-and-white tom with a very long, thin, black tail with a white tail-tip, powerful shoulders, amber eyes, strong paws, short, thick fur, and a white muzzle and paws.

Tallstar's the most calm minded leader since Leafstar. Why's he even on here?

23 Blahstar
24 Badgerstar

Badgerstar is a black and white she-cat. She is the leader of WindClan. Badgerstar was born to Gingerspots and Woolypelt. She had no siblings and her father ignored her for he thought she was a bad omen. Soon, only her mother would be her family. When Badgerkit became an apprentice, Gingerspots found a new mate. Badgerpaw had a mentor named Leafwhisker and she became friends with Poppypaw. When she became a warrior she earned the name Badgerpool. Her father, Woolypelt, tried to kill her once, and he was exiled. After time she became deputy, then leader. (This is fake by the way)

Who is Badgerstar? No one right?
