Top 10 Saddest Warrior Cat Injuries

The Top Ten
Cinderpelt A Medicine Cat from the book series Warriors by Erin Hunter, she is a small, fluffy, sleek, and soft-furred she-cat with a smoky dark gray coat and wide blue eyes. Initially, she started out as a Warrior apprentice but was forced to train as a Medicine Cat after a monster broke her leg on the Thunderpath... read more

I wish Cinderpelt and Briarlight ever got to meet. Cinderpelt would have been a great help to her, and I'm sure would have been very supportive. After all, they suffered from similar injuries. Both were crippled. I hope Cinderheart will remember everything about being Cinderpelt when she joins StarClan. If she didn't, it would be like Cinderpelt never existed. I think she will remember, though, because it was said that Cinderheart only doesn't know in the waking world.

Anyway, I find there to be so many sad injuries and disabilities in Warriors, so it would be hard to choose just one.

Crookedjaw

His mother rejected him! Ugh! I feel so sad and angry for him. How can Rainflower reject him like that?! I'm glad his brother and father took care of him, and that later on, he found Willowbreeze. Crookedstar lived such a hard life. Rejected as a kit, and later on, he lost all the cats he loved...

Stupid Goosefeather! At least he proved them all wrong by becoming leader! He was neglected by his mother, Rainflower, and was always stared at. I feel bad for him, but he got to be a leader. Proud of him today, and his jaw didn't make him ugly! Even Willowbreeze loved him. He will be remembered, and I miss him.

Briarlight Briarlight was born to Graystripe and Millie alongside Blossomfall and Bumblestripe. When she was an apprentice, she tried to save Longtail from a falling tree and crushed her lower spine. After that, she had to do exercises to strengthen her backbone. She lived in the Med Cat den, until a case of greencough... read more

I swear to God, they did Briarlight dirty. She was such a sweet and amazing character, and she suffered for it. Yes, she was able to get over it and still help out in the clan despite not being able to use her legs, but come on! I nearly burst into tears when I read that she died. She got sick and refused to eat because she prioritized everyone else first. I'm sad to see her go, but I'm glad she didn't get reincarnated like Cinderpelt.

Even if her death was sad, it was a good way to end her story, showing how much of a great character she was. There's no replacing Briarlight, and I hope the Erins don't try to, because no matter what they do, it'll fall flat compared to her.

BrightHeart Brightheart is a character from Warriors by Erin Hunter. She is a white she-cat with ginger patches. As an Apprentice she got attacked by dogs and got half of her face torn off. Her mate is Cloudtail and her kits are Whitewing, Ambermoon, Dewnose, and Snowbush.

Brightheart hated herself after she lost her eye, and Bluestar (my least favorite cat) decided to name her Lostface! It was Bluestar's fault she and Swiftpaw decided to find the dogs that were stealing prey. All they wanted was to be warriors. Brightheart (paw) was forced to see Swiftpaw die protecting her. She had to live her whole life with kits saying she was ugly and had to live even when she was depressed and thought that she was ugly herself. Cloudtail was the only one able to bring her out of depression.

She had to train longer and harder since she had one eye. She always thought Jaypaw hated her because he wanted to become a medicine cat apprentice instead of hers.

Deadfoot Deadfoot is a small, lean black tom with an unusable twisted left paw. His mother is Meadowslip and his father was Hickorynose. As a kit, he was called Hopkit. Hopkit was born with a twisted paw so when he got his apprentice name Heatherstar changed it to Deadpaw. He was a WindClan deputy, and now in... read more

Deadfoot was born with a "dead" paw. I think his injury is still sad, but Deadfoot sounds way better than Hopfoot. And it fools warriors into thinking he's weak. I think he actually benefited from his injury more than the others, like Crookedjaw and Cinderpelt.

Yep. His prefix definition is unique. Kind of like Loudbelly and Mumblefoot.

His poor foot! He kept going and helped his clan! Luckily, he wasn't named Wobblefoot or Crookedfoot (like Crookedstar).

Jayfeather Jayfeather is a character in the Warrior Cats series. He is part of The Three, along with Lionblaze and Dovewing, and has the power to read other cats' minds, emotions, and walk into other cats dreams, He was born blind. according to the Warrior Cats Wiki Jayfeather is a lean, mottled, pale gray tabby... read more

He's my favorite character by far. Even if he is blind, he is amazing. He became such a great medicine cat! He's very loving on the inside, but he's so stubborn and snappy on the outside. But he is my favorite character in Warrior Cats. Don't let him die yet, Erin!

Imagine being born blind! When Leafpool found out, she was devastated, but he became a great medicine cat!

Jayfeather is blind and constantly hated on by Warriors fans. Plus, he's my personal favorite.

One-eye

This isn't really an injury, but it's still kind of unfortunate to be hard of hearing and sight. Still, I love One-eye. WHITE-EYE.
-Dapplesong, Medicine Cat of AuroraClan

I hate Sunstar for changing White-eye's name to One-eye. She was so sweet and caring... still one of my favorites.

LongTail Longtail is a lean, pale brown or silver tabby tom with black stripes, a "V"-shaped nick in his ear and a long tail.

Longtail was a ThunderClan elder who lived under Firestar’s Leadership in the forest and lake territories and previously served as a warrior under Bluestar and Firestar. He was... read more

Of all the things to be blinded by, it had to be a bunny! Then he had to die being crushed by a tree saving a mouse! His story is really sad. RIP Longtail.

First, he was everyone's enemy. Then he turned good and became a kind warrior, but he had to retire early because his eyes were scratched by a rabbit, and he became blind! Poor him.

Snowkit Snowkit is a character in the series Warrior Cats, he was born deaf and is most known for when he was carried off by a hawk after being unable to hear it. He is described to be a sturdy, deaf white tom with light blue eyes.

Oh God. If he weren't deaf, he wouldn't have died. Then he could have been a great warrior. But no! Darn you, Erin Hunter!

You may not know, but Snowkit is deaf. I wish Snowkit could have lived longer, maybe into a warrior despite having no hearing.

Don't say that because you won't be able to read the Warriors books if Erin Hunter wasn't living!
I mean... I cried so much too.

Berrynose

No, fox traps do hurt! For Berrynose, it wasn't that bad because it was just his tail, but being caught in a trap around the neck or tail is one of the worst pains an animal can experience.

I really wish that Halftail had met Berrynose. Halftail lost part of his tail from a badger, right? The two could exchange stories, especially while Berrynose had been Berrykit. That would have been so cute!

-Dapplesong, Medicine Cat of AuroraClan

The Newcomers

? Creamstripe

It is a pretty interesting injury. I have never seen any OCs with that. If she had not almost drowned, that would never have happened.

But what was the water like? Because there are many possibilities I do not know:

1. Maybe it was winter, and the water was freezing.
2. A sharp object under the water could have pierced her throat.
3. She could have sucked in water she couldn't get out.
4. The water might have been poisoned.
5. Claws or something sharp could have been involved.

Creamstripe is my OC. She was almost drowned as a kit, and as a result, she constantly coughs and feels stinging pain deep in her throat. She eventually has a fit because of this and dies.

? Clearkit

Now that last sentence is disgusting...

The Contenders
Hollyleaf Hollyleaf was one of the rare, strictly loyal cats of ThunderClan.

Her birth broke the warrior code, and she killed Ashfur in fear of him revealing the truth over her family. She lived in the tunnels for a while, before rejoining ThunderClan. Hollyleaf was slain by Hawkfrost and spent her last... read more

Read Hollyleaf's story to see how she got injured. Okay, I'll tell you. The tunnels fell in on her and badly injured her leg, so badly that she couldn't walk.

She got her leg smashed by a boulder. You would know if you read the first part of Hollyleaf's story. She also got her heart broken because she was cast out of ThunderClan and for killing Ashfur!

How can she walk? Her legs were crushed by a boulder, but then Fallen Leaves fixed them, so I guess she walks perfectly fine. RIP.

- Moonpaw, Apprentice of SkyClan

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

So sad! Why isn't he at least in the top ten? Firestar literally got caught in a fox trap and was attacked by rats when he was only Fireheart. He faced so many hardships and injuries!

I mean, fox traps suck. But is this really on the injury list? It's not permanent like the others. Still, that must have been so painful and terrifying! You rock, Bramblestar!

-Dapplesong, Medicine Cat of AuroraClan

Fire will save the clan. Check! But he didn't just save ThunderClan, he saved all the clans and brought back LionClan! One of my favorite characters by far!

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,... read more

He didn't get hurt physically, but his sister and brother broke his heart. It fixed itself in a bad way.

Scourge is one of my favorite characters. Ruby and Socks tortured him when he was a kit, and he almost died because of Tigerpaw. I do not blame him for what he did.

One of my favorite characters and favorite villains. His childhood was so sad.

Berrystorm

She DEFINITELY had it the worst. Her spine was crushed by a monster, and that's not all. Her ear was cut off by twolegs, and her foreleg was broken by a ThunderClan warrior. She sometimes has attacks as well, causing her to pass out. She's a minor character but she's very underrated. She has multiple scars.

I know, right! Well, she's not in the book because she is a canceled character. But still, she should be higher on the list. And it said she has more scars than stripes. Wow.

I hated these injuries! I threw my book across the room when this happened!

Daisy

I don't understand all the hate Daisy gets. She has one of the saddest lives in Warriors and has one of the most painful injuries. Just imagine a huge dark forest cat digging his claw deep into your muzzle and scratching the same depth. OW!

Yes, it proves that she fights, so it's one of the most impressive injuries in all the books. Poor Daisy though.

The scar on her muzzle. It must have hurt a lot!

Yellowfang Yellowfang was a ThunderClan medicine cat in the original series of Warriors. She initially was a medicine cat from ShadowClan, but she was banished by her son, Brokenstar. She was then found by Firestar, who was then Firepaw, and brought into ThunderClan. Her last words were "Thank you for bringing... read more

OK, so can you say she was injured on the inside? Because Yellowfang has gone through a lot! She killed her own son (Brokenstar/Brokentail). She became a medicine cat because Sagewhisker (her medicine cat of ShadowClan at the time and her mentor) told her it was her destiny (which I agree with, but still!). She had to leave her mate (Raggedpelt!) to be a medicine cat. When she had her kit, she was afraid to be seen with him since she was a medicine cat, so she gave him to Lizardstripe (I believe).

She also died in a fire. ShadowClan does not like her, and she has nightmares a lot about StarClan! Thank you for your time! I hope you respect my opinion!

Jagged Peak

Jagged Peak was one stupid kit, but yet again, he brought Grey Wing to their new home, thus this whole series…. He was once a proud cat (quite selfish too), but after his injury from falling from a tree, he didn't believe in himself enough. Holly gave him strength and love (and kits). He is now a proud father and a proud cat once more. But for the time it lasted, his leg really was a sad injury, possibly a burden to carry on his shoulders for the rest of his life.

Although his mental scars have thoroughly healed, his leg will forever be lame. (I also think that Jagged Peak and Rainswept Flower would have been a good ship.)

Ivypool Ivypool is a fictional character created by Erin Hunter for the Book series named Warrior Cats. Ivypool is a common silver-and-white tabby. She spied in the Dark Forest and has dark blue eyes. She is the sister of Dovewing and the kit of Whitewing and Birchfall. Her mate is Fernsong, and she is the... read more

So sad. She had to fight hard to even get halfway to matching her sister Dovewing. Poor Ivypool.

Halftail

I'm so sorry, Halftail! It must be so painful.

Gray Wing

Grey Wing was once a fast cat that had no trouble breathing, but in return for saving his terrible brother Clear Sky and his cats, he was given asthma. (What a nice reward.) This resulted in him nearly dying multiple times and being treated as if he were unable to do anything (like Jagged Peak, his brother). Eventually, his asthma killed him. Despite having it nearly all his life, he still managed to prove himself and do many things. AND ALL OF THIS IS BECAUSE OF STUPID CLEAR SKY (Jagged Peak's injury is for this last sentence as well).

Feathertail Feathertail is a fictional character created by Erin Hunter for the book series called Warrior Cats. She's a slender, silver-tabby she-cat with sky-blue eyes and a plump tail. She is the daughter of Silverstream and Graystripe, Stormfur's sister and Crowfeather's first love interest. She used to be... read more

She fell from a stalactite, killing Sharptooth and herself! It's incredibly sad. She didn't deserve to die. I wish Feathertail could have lived happily with her brother.

"I'll always be with you, I promise."

Feathertail was one of my favorite book characters. She was treated differently because of her half-clan heritage.

- Stonepaw

Brambleclaw Bramblestar is a dark brown tabby tom with amber eyes. Before he became leader his name was Brambleclaw. His father is Tigerstar, his mother is Goldenflower, and his sister is Tawnypelt. He also has a half brother Hawkfrost and a half sister Mothwing.

He bashed his head on a rock during the badger attack at the badger set in The New Prophecy series. He was stunned for a few minutes. I'm surprised he didn't suffer brain damage, maybe just a cracked skull. In Leafpool's Wish, after he fights and kills Hawkfrost, it is mentioned he has lots of scratches and that his claws were about to fall out. He got a thorn stab in the battle with WindClan and RiverClan.

I can't remember how he injured his shoulder, I think the badger attack in the ThunderClan camp, but it left a nasty scar. He fell down the Sun-drown place and almost drowned, but Squirrelflight saved him. The worst part of that was him vomiting.

Mousefur Mousefur is a small dusky brown she-cat.

Mousefur was a ThunderClan warrior under Bluestar's and Firestar's leaderships in the forest and the lake territories. She was born to One-eye and Halftail as Mousekit alongside her brother, Runningkit. As a young warrior, Mousefur participated in a Sunningrocks... read more

She died fighting with her clan. The dark forest had risen and all three elders, Purdy, Longtail, and Mousefur. Longtail came from StarClan to be with Mousefur for her last moments. Now they live together until the memories of them stand.

What an amazing cat. So sad. I miss her so much!
