Top 10 Most Evil Warrior Cats

The Warrior Cats series has given us some of the most intense and ruthless characters in all of literature. These cats are more than just villains. They're the ones whose actions leave a lasting impact on the Clans and have shaped the course of their stories in ways we can never forget. Their schemes, betrayals, and sheer hunger for power are what make them stand out as some of the most feared characters in the entire series.

This list is all about the most evil cats in Warrior Cats, the ones that went too far, broke all the rules, and left chaos in their wake. But who deserves the top spot as the absolute worst of the worst?

1. Tigerstar

   

   Tigerstar is a villain in the Warriors book series by Erin Hunter. He is the son of Leopardfoot and Pinestar, and the former mate of both Goldenflower and Sasha. He is the father of Bramblestar, Tawnypelt, Mothwing, Hawkfrost, and Tadpole.... read more

   Hm. He would have been a great warrior, but no, he got greedy and craved power. He went down a dark path, murdering and lying just to have more power. Countless died at his claws, staining them red with blood. This cat was merciless.

   He successfully became deputy, but it wasn't enough. He cheated, killed, and lied, only to be exiled. He should have given up and left them alone. Life as a rogue would have suited him well, but it was never enough.

   Even when death claimed him, he continued to terrorize the clans by haunting his sons. This was a cat who was never satisfied. This was a bad cat.

   Feather Frost of SkyClan.

   He was always vicious from when he was a kit, and on his conquest for power, many cats died, and then when he was in power. The first one was Redtail, which was totally unfair! Redtail didn't do anything wrong! Next, I think, was Runningwind. He straight up killed her only because she was from ThunderClan, the Clan that exiled him for leading an attack on the camp, which is a GOOD reason. Then, from his dog plan, he got Swiftpaw killed, which wasn't entirely his fault, but the dogs shouldn't have been there. Then he murdered Brindleface only so the dogs could get a taste for cat blood! Then Bluestar died stopping the pack HE unleashed from getting to the ThunderClan camp. And he ordered Stonefur's death! And that's just from The Prophecies Begin.

2. Brokenstar

   

   Brokenstar is a villainous character from the Warrior Cats book series. He is a matted, dark brown tabby tom with a broad, flat face, a bent tail, and orange eyes. Brokenstar was formerly the leader of ShadowClan and later a member of the Dark Forest. His mother is Yellowfang, and his father is Raggedstar... read more

   Of course, most people think Tigerstar is the most evil. But we never got to know what made Brokenstar evil. If he was born purely evil, then he is probably even more evil than Tigerstar.

   At least Tigerstar never tried to train kits and send them to battle at a young age. At least Tigerstar didn't exile his mother and refer to her as a rogue. I mean, he didn't know she was his mother, but doing so left Runningnose as the medicine cat, a cat who couldn't even cure his own cold.

   Brokenstar also stole kits, even though it was completely unnecessary. He was the cause of young Badgerpaw's death and the deaths of countless cats from all over the clans. Yellowfang was right to feed him deathberries.

   If any cat is the most ruthless, evil, heartless, and soulless, it's Brokenstar.

3. Scourge

   

   Scourge is a villain in the Warrior Cats series. He is the leader of BloodClan and was bullied by his siblings, Socks and Ruby, for being the smallest of the litter. One of his most notable features is his purple collar studded with dog and cat teeth.... read more

   A lot of people don't like him, and I don't like him either, but if you read his backstory, you tend to feel more pity for him than hate. He was treated terribly by his littermates, he almost got murdered when he was a kit, and he was raised by outsiders.

   Sure, he was still a bad cat, but the only love he must have felt was when every cat in the Twolegplace made him their leader. That's my defense of him being not as bad as people think. But don't get me wrong - he is still a bad cat.

   When people say he wanted the best for his cats, that's not true. Take Bone, for example. If Scourge's deputy got sick, he would have left him to die. That's all I've got. He isn't evil, but he's still bad. I don't hate or love him. I just pity him.

4. Darktail

   

   Yes, finally Darktail is in the top ten. He should have been introduced earlier in the series because many people have lost interest by AVOS.

   If you ask me, they should have combined Power of Three and Omen of the Stars into one arc and made AVOS the fourth. Darktail was a great villain as leader of the rogues, and his obsession with Violetshine was creepy. He was the focus of half of AVOS, more than Scourge, who only appeared in one book (not counting the manga). He also deserves a novella. If Mapleshade and Tigerstar get one, so should he.

   Darktail is EVIL! Tigerstar took over ShadowClan and RiverClan, but he made them join forces. Darktail took over both those clans too, but just destroyed them both!

   He destroyed SkyClan, but then, when he found out Onestar wasn't there, he abandoned the territory he took just to find his father. But then he kept PRISONERS! He basically tricked kittypets into joining him, tricked half of ShadowClan into following him, and drowned any cat who did the simplest act of disagreeing with him.

   He didn't get defeated until all five clans worked together to drive him out. Tigerstar was killed by a rogue. Brokenstar was killed by a medicine cat. Mapleshade died of wounds from an apprentice. SERIOUSLY! He is the NUMBER 1 villain of the Warrior series.

5. Hawkfrost

   

   Hawkfrost is a villainous character from the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. He is described as a dark brown tabby tom with a snow-white underbelly and striking ice-blue eyes. A former RiverClan warrior and later a member of the Dark Forest, Hawkfrost attempted to kill Firestar using a fox trap but was... read more

   Genuinely, it isn't all his fault he was evil. Hear me out. First, he watched his brother die. Second, his father trained him to be evil. He was trying to impress someone. People make it seem like Hawkfrost is the worst cat ever. It isn't necessarily his fault.

   Feathertail saw that Hawkfrost was becoming like his father. But if he turned on RiverClan... I mean, let's take a trip down memory lane. Hawk was chasing a moss ball and fell in the river. Moth was pretty dang traumatized, and Hawk was holding on to the edge of life. Feathertail saved him.

   How could Hawk ever turn on her? Also, the reason why he's probably so strong is that his mentor was Leopardstar.

6. Darkstripe

   

   Darkstripe is a fictional character from the Warriors book series written by Erin Hunter. He is a former member of ThunderClan and is known for his loyalty to Tigerstar and betrayal of his clanmates. Darkstripe is portrayed as an antagonist in the series and plays a significant role in the earlier story... read more

   Darkstripe, at first, didn't seem evil. He was just pretty mean. But then, later on, you can clearly see he's on Tigerstar's side (like he always was) and turned pure evil. Almost as evil as Tigerstar. I never liked Darkstripe.

   Longtail became honest and trustworthy and didn't follow Tigerstar anymore. That was good, though Darkstripe also turned down the offer to be exiled along with Tigerstar when Tigerstar was exiled. That proves at some point he was loyal to ThunderClan, but later on, nope.

   Darkstripe seemed like an average ThunderClan cat, but he wasn't. He was obviously a very strong supporter of Tigerstar. He was already pretty mean, but he got worse.

   He KILLED Stonefur and Needletail. I'm glad Longtail stopped following Tigerstar. Longtail was smart and realized how HORRIBLE Tigerstar was. Longtail is loyal now.

   He left ThunderClan and fought alongside BloodClan? Darkstripe is just evil, and that's it. I also can't believe he mentored Ferncloud, and she didn't become evil. I always knew Ferncloud was going to be nice - she was afraid of Darkstripe.

   - Witheredpaw

7. Mapleshade

   

   Mapleshade is a character in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. She is a large, tortoiseshell-and-white she-cat with a scarred white muzzle and white patches throughout her pelt. Her fur is thick, especially around her neck like a mane, and her pelt is ragged and scarred. She has a broad muzzle and... read more

   She's like the best villain, literally causing a chain reaction in villains. I also felt pity for her while reading her story. But, why would she have kits cross a flooded river? That was pretty stupid on her part. Anyway, she's one of the most interesting villains in the series, not being driven by ambition, like most of the other villains - Brokenstar, Tigerstar, Hawkfrost, etc. But like the people saying that she should've gone to StarClan, I strongly disagree. Not only the fact that she killed other cats, but she would be forced into a clan where there would be the cats that denied her and who she saw killed her kits? (Well, besides Frecklewish, but is it just me or would it have been cool to see them interact in the Dark Forest together?)

8. Sol

   

   Sol isn't like the other villains. Instead of using his claws, he uses his words. He is a very selfish cat who isn't good at hunting or survival, so he manipulates other cats into doing things for him.

   For example, in SkyClan, he stole food from foxes instead of hunting. This backfired when the foxes found SkyClan's camp, and Sol was thrown out. And don't even get me started on what happened with ShadowClan. ShadowClan must not have truly believed in StarClan to stop believing so easily.

   Sol was an interesting villain because he didn't need to use his claws to get what he wanted. He used manipulation and other abilities he had to get what he wanted out of the clans.

   He even managed to convince nearly the whole of ShadowClan to stop believing in the warrior code and StarClan! And he convinced a bunch of WindClan cats to attack ThunderClan for no reason but his own revenge! Look alive, people! Sol is a good villain, I hope he returns.

   -Fruity the Loner (He/they)

9. Thistleclaw

   

   Thistleclaw is a villain in the Warriors series. He is a gray-and-white tabby tom with spiky fur and amber eyes. Thistleclaw is known for his aggressive nature and plays a key role in the backstories of several main characters, including Tigerstar.

   Thistleclaw wasn't evil at all. He has to stay trapped in the Dark Forest while Ashfur's chilling in StarClan? He didn't do a single bad thing.

   Okay, settle down. This is going to take a while.

   For one, Thistleclaw did not make Tigerstar evil. Goosefeather saw evil in Tigerstar when he was still a kit. He was simply an evil cat, nothing to do with Thistleclaw. Also, it's not Bluestar's fault Thistleclaw was evil. Your girlfriend's sister not liking you doesn't give you the right to turn against everyone that loves you, everyone you grew up with. Bluestar also didn't chase Thistleclaw into the dark forest. That was a joke the authors made up.

   Thistleclaw had no reason to be evil. He trained in the Dark Forest in Spottedleaf's Heart and chose to stay there. Don't make the excuse that he lost his mate and sister. Look at Crookedstar, he lost his mother, his father, his mate, his kits, and his brother. And yet he still stayed loyal to the end.

10. Clawface

    

    Clawface is a heavily built, sturdy, battle-scarred brown tom. He is a fictional character known for his hardened appearance and combat experience. He appears in the Warriors book series as a warrior of ShadowClan who notoriously killed the ThunderClan medicine cat Spottedleaf.

    He committed murder and killed Spottedleaf. She was one of my favorite characters, and she was really good. She was just going to ShadowClan, and he was just a jerk about it and had to MURDER her.

    To me, that's not the best reaction to someone who looks like a medicine cat. What an idiot, right?

    -Snowpaw, the ThunderClan apprentice

    Right, I hate this cat. He killed Spottedleaf and followed Brokenstar! After the death of Brokenstar, he joined Tigerstar as a rogue and came back to ShadowClan with him. He is an evil cat, conferring with TigerClan and Tigerstar.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Onestar

    

    Onestar is a fictional character from the Warriors book series by Erin Hunter. He was a leader of WindClan and was previously known as Onewhisker before becoming leader. Onestar is described as a small, mottled brown tomcat who is deeply devoted to WindClan.

    Onestar did seem nice at the start, but why did he treat his own kit like trash? I mean, who would do that?

    Plus, after he became leader, did he just forget everything and now wants to start a war? I hate him so much.

    Onewhisker was amazing. He was very kind. But once he became Onestar, he suddenly forgot about his relationship with Firestar and all that ThunderClan did for him. I hate Onestar so much.

    I don't care what you say i love him and for all i care go stick an icicle up your snout!

12. ?

    Redwillow

    

    Twitchtail -

    I can't believe no one remembers him. He was a cat who was going to kill his own clanmates - a real evil cat who deserved to be in the DARK FOREST.

    Although I always loved his name, it's so unfair that no one remembers him.

    True, it's like nobody remembers him!

The Contenders

13. Bone

    

    This guy is just a thug who is the henchman of a much cleverer cat. He's dumb, big, and a killer, but he's loyal and was just following orders. Plus, Whitestorm drove me crazy. The old, wise cat just had to die. He'd been alive too long.

    I love Bone. He didn't deserve what he got. I hate the apprentices. They are the mindless killers, not Bone. Long live BloodClan! Die ThunderClan! I hope Scourge rips out Firestar's throat in the future!

    Bone is pure evil! He literally collected claws from cats and teeth from dogs. He deserves to be in the Dark Forest for his bloody actions. Maple Shade killed to avenge her kittens. Bone doesn't deserve to be in StarClan. He died because of apps, so he can learn his gory actions from the past.

14. Ashfur

    

    Ashfur is a character created by Erin Hunter for the Warriors book series. He is a muscular pale gray tom with darker flecks, dark blue eyes, and short, thick fur. Ashfur has a torn ear and is known for an emotional story arc involving unrequited love, jealousy, and revenge.

    Why is Ashfur so low? He is obviously the best written, most powerful, and definitely most evil cat to ever live. Tigerstar and Scourge just tried to take over the Clans. Ashfur tried to destroy the Clans as well as StarClan and the Dark Forest. They need a Super Edition about him so everyone can see how awesome he is and how much pain he went through.

    Squirrelflight, you are stupid for betraying Ashfur like this. He was much better than Bramblestar. Also, it is your fault Ashfur went evil, and because of you, my 2nd favorite character other than Ashfur, Bristlefrost, is dead. You should go to the Dark Forest, Squirrelflight.

15. One Eye

    

    In my opinion, One Eye should be closer to the #1 spot. He's far more evil than Clawface or Darkstripe, that's for sure.

    He killed Tom when he was defending his kit, whom he also tried to kill. He was partially the reason why Petal died, leaving Birch and Alder without their mother. He banished Clear Sky from his group and marked an eye on the cats' paws, claiming them as his. Kind of like a slave, in my opinion. He was greedy for power and control over Clear Sky's cats.

    Clawface killed Spottedleaf and was one of Brokenstar's followers. That's bad, but not as bad as what One Eye did. Darkstripe wasn't technically evil, though he did feed Sorrelkit deathberries and betrayed his Clan.

    Even Bone, who was Scourge's dirty follower and killed Whitestorm, might not be as bad. We don't know if he killed anyone else. I think One Eye was much worse. And no offense, but people think these cats should be in the top 5 because they killed their favorite character(s).

16. Skystar

    

    People say he changes after Path of Stars, but that's not true. Moth Flight's Vision comes after Path of Stars, and Clear Sky denies WindClan access to herbs on his territory. Because of his arrogance, Micah was killed.

    And I forgot to mention that he murdered Misty, the mother of two kits, and Bumble, an innocent kittypet. He also exiled cats - not just any cats, but his own brother. Every cat he had as his mate was stolen. Gray Wing loved Bright Stream, Clear Sky got to be her mate. Gray Wing loved Storm, Clear Sky got her. Thunder loved Star Flower, and you know who got her.

    After he murdered Misty, he was about to kill her newborn kits. And Rainswept Flower, one of my favorites, was killed by him. His last words to her were, "I'm not greedy. I'm just strong."

    When his mother, Quiet Rain, came to visit him, I enjoyed seeing her say all those things to Clear Sky. He also rejected his son and tried to kill his brother. He's horrible and greedy, and he'll never be a good cat no matter how hard he tries.

17. Sleekwhisker

    

    Sleekwhisker was awful, just a horrid nightmare. She was the first cat to volunteer in joining Darktail. Then she stole Yarrowleaf's kits! I don't even know why she wanted to stay with Nettle and Raven.

    I mean, Nettle was prepared to kill his own kits, and I am sure that Sleekwhisker eventually had a kit with Nettle. She's just so awful! And I'm sure if she ever did have kits, she wouldn't even care about what happens to them!

    She's so evil. First, as Sleekpaw, she joins Darktail's rogues and plots against the clans. Then, she gave herself a warrior name and turned Violetpaw in for trying to put Darktail to sleep. She then helps Darktail drown Needletail for Violetpaw's punishment.

    Later, she goes to SkyClan and begs for sanctuary with Yarrowleaf. Then, she puts Yarrowleaf to sleep, steals her kits, and betrays the clans.

18. Leopardstar

    

    Leopardstar is a golden tabby she-cat with amber eyes.

    Leopardstar was a leader of RiverClan in both the forest and lake territories. Leopardkit was born to Mudfur and Brightsky alongside three unnamed kits. However, Brightsky and the littermates died during the kitting. Mudfur named her after... read more

    Leopardstar isn't too evil, but it was a horrible decision to join Tigerclan. Because she joined Tigerclan, her loyal deputy, in other words, the beloved Stonefur, got killed by Blackfoot, later to be known as Blackstar.

    Leopardstar was a hot-headed she-cat, if I may say so, with a pretty short temper. I would not recommend having her as a leader.

    Leopardstar is on my list of most hated characters in media, not just Warriors. Her first strike was just taking over ThunderClan stupidly, thinking she would be a good leader by being reckless and just overly willing to fight.

19. Firestar

    

    Firestar is a central character in the Warrior Cats series. He rises to become the leader of ThunderClan after Bluestar. Firestar is mates with Sandstorm and has two kits named Squirrelflight and Leafpool.

    Originally, Firestar was a kittypet named Rusty before joining the clan. He dies from fatal... read more

    Umm, he kind of cheated on Sandstorm. He still loved Spottedleaf even after she died, and wasn't afraid to express it. Sandstorm knew this, and if your boyfriend or girlfriend did this to you, would you feel sympathy?

    When Spottedleaf died in The Last Hope, he said that she would wait for him in StarClan. Sandstorm was right next to him when he said this. Also, he didn't tell anybody that SkyClan existed.

    When you think about it, Firestar is evil. DON'T YELL AT ME YET! He killed an apprentice. It was a young apprentice too, our knowledge shows that. And a tiny apprentice. HE LOOKED LIKE A KIT, WE KNOW THAT MUCH. Firestar murdered him with a cold heart.

    You may wonder who I'm talking about. Scourge. Yup, he was a young apprentice with no battle experience that killed Tigerstar... GARY STU! I still think that is just based on how he fights and other than that, he has no points where he's a Gary Stu. Firestar is the worst!

20. Rainflower

    

    Rainflower is a RiverClan warrior from Erin Hunter's Warriors book series. She is the mother of Stormkit, who later becomes Crookedstar, and Oakkit. Rainflower is known for rejecting Stormkit after he disfigures his jaw, a decision that deeply affects his life and shapes his future.... read more

    I don't know much about Rainflower, but she's a horrible parent. After Stormkit broke his jaw, she renamed him Crookedkit, just like Bluestar renamed Brightheart Lostface, and then rejected and neglected him. She cared for Shellheart and Oakkit, but not him.

    Plus, she refused to be near him in the nursery, stayed as far away as possible at his warrior ceremony, and never appeared at his nine lives ceremony either. Honestly, she deserves to be on this list so much.

    I laughed so hard when I heard she died and when she and Shellheart later broke up. I think she should be in the Dark Forest.

    - Witheredpaw

    Rainflower was by far the worst parent in the entire series. She disowned her own son, favored her other son, and basically neglected Crookedstar for his whole life until she died. I'm quite glad she died, and I'm glad she didn't give Crookedstar a life.

    Though I hope she tried to make amends with him when he died and joined StarClan. The worst thing a mother could do to her child is neglect it and make them feel like he or she isn't going to do well in life.

21. Socks

    

    I love Scourge, and Socks was the one that made him evil by bullying him. What did Scourge even do? And when he grew up, he asked Scourge to give him food, and Scourge did give them one meal. One meal isn't a lot, but it is better than starving. Scourge didn't even forgive Socks yet, so why would anyone suspect that he would give Socks one meal?

    - Crystalpool of Leafclan

    I absolutely hate Socks! He bullied and teased Scourge with Ruby, and they're the reason he's evil! Also, Tigerstar attacked him when they were young, so he's part of why he's evil too! Socks had no reason to bully Scourge. Scourge did nothing to them, did he?!?

22. Appledusk

    

    Appledusk is a pale brown RiverClan tom from the Warriors book series by Erin Hunter. He plays a key role in Mapleshade's backstory and the events of the novella Mapleshade's Vengeance. Appledusk is known for his controversial relationship with Mapleshade, a ThunderClan cat.

    He just wanted to be recognized in RiverClan as a good cat and did not care about Mapleshade anymore. He would rather be let into RiverClan than have Mapleshade be safe. He was almost using Mapleshade to get kits, but now that the love he had for her was gone because Mapleshade "killed" his beloved kits, he rejected her.

    So, good on Mapleshade for getting rid of that cat.

    Appledusk had no right to blame Mapleshade. It wasn't her fault the kits HE ABANDONED died. It was his idea for them to mate, then he yells at her for doing so, getting her exiled. He caused severe emotional damage to her, and lead to her death. Mapleshade wouldn't have killed so many cats if he hadn't lead to them!

23. Snowtuft

    

    We don't know much about Snowtuft, but he's evil. He almost killed Ivypool, and he was in the Omen of the Stars. It's hard to judge this cat, Snowtuft.

    Snowtuft was in Omen of the Stars. He almost killed Ivypool.

    Snowtuft was evil. But then his change just made me have a different feeling.

24. Blackstar

    

    I hate Blackstar. He was on Tigerstar's side. Although the warrior code does say to always obey, agree, or not hurt your leader, I will give him the slack that he was at least obeying the warrior code. But still, I don't like him.

    He was bad when he killed Stonefur, but he was a great leader. He's not really evil anymore once he becomes Blackstar, but when he's Blackfoot, he's evil! Stonefur was amazing!

    I hate how everyone was just fine with him being leader when he supported Brokenstar and was one of the reasons why Stonefur died.

25. Jessy

    

    Jessy stole Bramblestar! She called him "Wild Cat," but he's the Clan Leader! Jessy was really rude towards Squirrelflight, and she should show some respect! Squirrelflight is the Clan Deputy! You're not even a Clan cat!

    Bramblestar was so amazed by how she could climb the Twoleg fence, but like, she does it every day! So do other kittypets! Graystripe, Bramblestar, and Spiderleg made a mistake falling in love with kittypets. They're just amazed kittypets aren't fat and lazy. So what?! Firestar wasn't lazy!

    Dude, Jessy sucked. She was also annoying. She stole Bramblestar from Squirrelflight! I hope she dies a painful death.

26. Pinestar

    

    Pineheart is one of the worst cats, and hear me out. He led to Tigerstar slowly becoming evil, gave Tigerstar trauma and depression, and led to all of Tigerstar's kills, and Tigerstar's own death. Is there a page where I can vote for the worst father ever?

    Twitchtail -

    World's worst father. You raised a murderer. Actually, you weren't even there for him. You pretty much left him to fend for himself. Pinestar should be at the top because he was the one who made Tigerstar a murder machine!

    I HATE HIM! He left his mate, his two sick kits, and his whole clan! Just so he wouldn't die, but then he died anyway. He should NOT have gone to StarClan. Besides, kittypets don't believe in StarClan! They don't know what it is! And he shouldn't have given Bluestar one of her lives. He's the worst!

27. Lizardstripe

    

    Lizardstripe is a huge part of why Brokenstar is evil. Maybe if she had loved him just a little, he would have turned out better. However, she does have the best quote in the series.

    Lizardstripe: "What's this?"

    Yellowfang: "A kit."

    Raggedstar: "My kit!"

    Lizardstripe: "Oh? If I'd known that toms could have kits, I would have had Mudfur have these brats himself!"

    She is way worse than Rainflower. It was confirmed that Rainflower made up with Crookedstar in StarClan, and she even wanted to give him a life, but StarClan didn't allow it. However, Lizardstripe just didn't want to be a mother and hated her kits. She made Brokenstar into a monster.
