Top 10 Saddest Warrior Cat Injuries

1. Cinderpelt

   

   Cinderpelt is a Medicine Cat from the Warriors book series by Erin Hunter. She is described as a small, fluffy, sleek, and soft-furred she-cat with a smoky dark gray coat and wide blue eyes. Originally, she trained as a Warrior apprentice but was redirected to the path of a Medicine Cat after a monster... 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.

   This is the saddest injury! I mean, sure, Briarlight's is sad too, but not sad like Cinderpelt's. Cinderpelt literally had to give up everything she loved, being an apprentice, becoming a warrior someday.

   She also had to give up the chance of ever becoming Firestar's mate. Unlike Spottedleaf, she actually had a chance. But she had to give that up when she had the accident. I feel so bad for her.

2. 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.

3. Briarlight

   

   Briarlight was born to Graystripe and Millie alongside her siblings, Blossomfall and Bumblestripe. As an apprentice, she tried to save Longtail from a falling tree, and the impact crushed her lower spine. After the accident, she lived in the medicine cat den and performed regular exercises to maintain... 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.

4. Brightheart

   

   Brightheart is a character in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. She is a white she-cat with ginger patches who suffered serious injuries during a dog attack while she was still an apprentice. Brightheart later became mates with Cloudtail, and they had four kits: Whitewing, Ambermoon, Dewnose, and Snowbush... read more

   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.

5. Deadfoot

   

   Deadfoot is a small, lean black tomcat with a twisted left paw that rendered it unusable. His mother was Meadowslip, and his father was Hickorynose. He was originally named Hopkit, but due to his injury, Heatherstar renamed him Deadpaw when he became an apprentice.... 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).

6. Jayfeather

   

   Jayfeather is a character from the Warrior Cats series. He is part of the prophecy group known as The Three, along with Lionblaze and Dovewing, and possesses the ability to read other cats' minds, sense emotions, and enter their dreams. He was born blind, which shapes much of his perspective and role... read more

   Some might say Jayfeather wasn't physically hurt, he was just born blind. Well... some of that is true, but remember?

   BREEZEPELT (MY WORST ENEMY) attacked him with Brokenstar/tail, and he is blind, so Breezepelt saw that as a weakness.

   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!

7. 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.

8. 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. He was a ThunderClan elder who lived under Firestar's leadership in both the forest and lake territories. Before becoming an elder, he served as a warrior under Bluestar and Firestar.... 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.

   Why did a bunny have to be the one to scratch out his eyes?! It should have been that badger that was loose at the time.

   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.

9. Snowkit

   

   Snowkit is a character in the Warrior Cats series. He was born deaf and is most remembered for the tragic event in which he was carried off by a hawk after being unable to hear its approach. Snowkit is described as a sturdy 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.

10. 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!

The Contenders

13. Hollyleaf

    

    Hollyleaf was a rare and fiercely loyal warrior of ThunderClan. Her birth violated the warrior code, which caused her deep internal conflict.

    She killed Ashfur out of fear that he would reveal the truth about her parentage. Afterward, she lived in the tunnels for a period of time before ultimately... 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

14. 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

    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.

15. 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

    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!

16. 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!

17. 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!

18. Yellowfang

    

    Yellowfang was a medicine cat originally from ShadowClan in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. After being exiled by her son, Brokenstar, she was discovered by Firepaw, who later became Firestar, and taken into ThunderClan. There, she became a respected medicine cat and mentor.... 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!

19. 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.)

    Jagged Peak's injury is one of the worst because he was so proud, so fierce, and afterward, he was rejected by his one brother and became useless.

    It's terrible for the young cat who wanted so badly to be independent and recognized. Except for Crookedstar, none of the injured cats suffered so much loneliness, despair, and rejection as he did.

20. Ivypool

    

    Ivypool is a fictional silver-and-white tabby she-cat in Erin Hunter's Warrior Cats book series. She is the sister of Dovewing and the daughter of Whitewing and Birchfall. Ivypool becomes a spy in the Dark Forest and later returns to ThunderClan, eventually serving as deputy under Squirrelstar. Her mate... read more

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

21. Graywing

    

    By far my favorite character! He suffered so much, knew so much, and for that we will be forever grateful. I even based an OC on him. Her name is FinchFlight. She has asthma and a missing eye and ear because of a badger. So sad. But OMG, I love Graywing. Long live Graywing!

    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).

22. Halftail

    

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

23. Feathertail

    

    Feathertail is a fictional character from Erin Hunter's Warrior Cats book series. She is described as a slender silver-tabby she-cat with sky-blue eyes and a plump tail. She is the daughter of Silverstream and Graystripe, the sister of Stormfur, and the first love interest of Crowfeather.... 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

24. Brambleclaw

    

    Bramblestar is a dark brown tabby tom with amber eyes. Before becoming leader of ThunderClan, he was known as Brambleclaw. He is the son of Tigerstar and Goldenflower, and the brother of Tawnypelt.

    He also has a half-brother named Hawkfrost and a half-sister named 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.

25. Mousefur

    

    Mousefur is a small dusky brown she-cat who was a ThunderClan warrior during Bluestar's and Firestar's leadership in the forest and lake territories. She was born to One-eye and Halftail as Mousekit alongside her brother, Runningkit. As a young warrior, Mousefur took part in a Sunningrocks skirmish and... 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!
