[[File:Warriors_logo_2_9586Warriors logo 2 9586.jpg|frame|<small>"Fire Alone Can Save Our Clan", with help from [[Loads and Loads of Characters|his friends]].</small> ]]

There are currently four six-book [[Myth Arc|arcs]] available, all of which are complete. The first, simply called ''[[Warrior Cats (Literature)|'''Warriors]]''''' (or ''Warrior Cats'', [[Market-Based Title|depending on where you live]]) focuses on a house cat named Rusty, who decides to abandon his comfortable life to join ThunderClan and ends up being the [[Chosen One]]. The second arc, ''[[The New Prophecy]]'', features the next generation of the Clans from the first series as they find a new home. The third ''[[Rule of Three|Power of Three]]'' is a mostly character driven series about another new generation of the Clan cats, this time burdened with mysterious powers and the secret of an ancient prophecy. The fourth arc, ''[[Omen of the Stars]]'', continues to deal with the mysterious prophecy, as well as years worth of animosity that continues to lurk in the shadows and the repercussions of past actions, which threaten to break out into all-out war. A fifth arc, ''[[Dawn of the Clans]]'', which will be a prequel, has been announced. There are also plenty of [[Expanded Universe|spin-off titles]] out and coming soon, such as the twice as long Super Editions, Field Guides, and Mangas. Its sister series, ''[[SeekersSeeker (Literature)Bears|Seekers]]'', and ''[[Survivors (Literaturenovel)|Survivors]]'' are also worth checking out.

For summaries of each book, see [[Warrior Cats (Literature)/Recap|here.]]

* ''[[Warrior Cats Power of Three (Literature)|Warrior Cats Power of Three]]''

* ''[[Warrior Cats Dawn of the Clans (Literature)|Warrior Cats Dawn of the Clans]]''

* ''[[Starkits Prophecy (Fanfic)|StarkitsStarkit's Prophecy]]'' and ''[[Hidden Prophices (Fanfic)|Hidden Prophices]]'', the ''Warriors'' equivalents of ''[[My Immortal]]''

* [[Warriors the Abridged Series (Fanfic)|Various abridged series]]

* ''[[Warrior Cats: Untold Tales]]'', a fan-made PC game

* ''[[SSS Warrior Cats (New Media)|SSS Warrior Cats]]'', a fan anime adaptation

* [[The Abridged Series]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130626234537/http://hyperadam.deviantart.com/gallery/23785581 At least] [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6154225/1/Warriors_The_Abridged_Series_Into_the_WTF four] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz5x5LxCMQY of] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130605154715/http://forums.warriorcats.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7641093/m/4311046057/p/1 them]

* [[Abusive Parents]]:

{{quote| ...a queen who did not care for her new charge, who bit it and nipped it and deprived it of milk as punishment for being born at all.}}

* [[A Crack in Thethe Ice]]: {{spoiler|Flametail}} falls into one in ''Night Whispers.''

** Related websites (Ww, OF).

** Heck, even the medicine cats on occasion. [[Badass|Yellowfang]] in particular.

* [[Adventures in Coma Land]]: in ''The Sight'', {{spoiler|Poppyfrost}} has greencough, and has a dream about being in StarClan's forest. Jayfeather is also there, because of his power, and stops her from dying.

* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: No matter how many times the clans learn the value of working together, they always divide back up once the danger has passed. Wanting to unite the clans is treated as a big red "I Am A Villain" flag. Then again, they ''are'' cats.

* [[All Genes Are Codominant]]: According to feline genetics {{spoiler|Hollyleaf}} should have been a tortie. There's much more, but in general cat genetics are a lot more complicated than the Erins know about. They even admit they don't know poop about cat coat genetics.

* [[Almost -Dead Guy]]: {{spoiler|Yellowfang, Bluestar, Feathertail, Cinderpelt, Hawkfrost, Whitestorm}}... there has to be more.

* [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]]: Dogs, great StarClan!

* [[Animesque]]: Most of the fan-made [[YouTube]] Warriors animations. To a nauseating degree. Some of the more prominent animators out there even like to slap on a full head of human hair onto their cats. Firestar is always drawn as a brunette, and Tigerstar with black hair. Either way, it's [[Artistic License: Biology|anatomically incorrect]] and it looks ''awful''.

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Tigerheart, Sunfall, Hawkfrost, Talon of Swooping Eagle, the list goes on.

** In ''Bluestar's Prophecy'', Featherwhisker forecasts rain for a few days, and it starts raining just before the [[Battle in Thethe Rain|battle with WindClan]].

* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: {{spoiler|Cinderpelt}}.

** Also, Heavystep, who died but managed to stay on the cast list for quite a while afterwards due to a [[Continuity Snarl]].

{{quote| "RiverClan ''fish''! RiverClan ''swim''! RiverClan warriors use water to ''win''!"}}

* [[Battle in Thethe Rain]]: In ''Bluestar's Prophecy'', battle between ThunderClan and WindClan takes place in rain.

* [[Berserk Button]]:

** Don't try to say {{spoiler|Tigerheart is in the Dark Forest}} in front of Dovewing.

* [[Bitch Alert]]: Sandpaw's first appearance. She snarls that Firepaw smells revolting, and then makes a comment about how he's a kittypet.

** {{spoiler|Hawkfrost}} coughs up clots of blood shortly before he dies at the end of ''Sunset''.

** {{spoiler|Tigerstar}} at the end of the ''Rise of Scourge'' manga.

** Non-fatal example: At one point in ''Forest of Secrets'', Graystripe has blood bubbling from his mouth.

** After he is {{spoiler|hit by a car}}, blood trickles out of {{spoiler|Whitethroat}}'s mouth as he tries to speak.

** In ''Moonrise'' a doomed [[Red Shirt|Tribe cat]] has blood coming out of its mouth after being slammed against a wall.

{{quote| I am working on the Cat book for Tokyopop and I am at an interesting point in the story. The story involves Feral cats and life in the wild. A Feral cat stops and kills a wild hare as described in the script. I drew the layout and it was approved, but at a certain point, the powers that be wanted a change. The dead rabbit looks too creepy. I understand that the pre-teen market may not be into dead rabbits, but why write it into the script? They wanted me to change the angle to obscure the hare, messing up the storytelling. My compromise was to turn the rabbit around, and closing his eyes. It's not dead, just sleeping! No trauma, just a sleepy, knocked out bunny. ([http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_s0GsnDo9fJI/R1mEOA3z2lI/AAAAAAAAAvg/wEE_Fyub6l4/s1600-h/cat+layout.jpg Comparison of original and revised sketches])}}

* [[Cain and Abel]]:

** Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost.

* [[Can't Kill You - Still Need You]]: In ''The Darkest Hour'', Tigerstar decides to spare Featherpaw and Stormpaw because he thinks they may still be useful to him.

* [[Caught in Aa Snare]]:

* [[Character Name and Thethe Noun Phrase]]: The Super Editions are a possessive version: ''Firestar's Quest'', ''Bluestar's Prophecy'', ''SkyClan's Destiny'' (which, unusually, refers to a group and not just one character), ''Crookedstar's Promise'', ''Yellowfang's Secret''.

* [[C -List Fodder]]: Minor characters get slaughtered left and right.

* [[Combat Byby Champion]]: In ''Crookedstar's Promise'', one of the battles for Sunningrocks is decided like this.

* [[Covered in Mud]]: The Tribe rolls in mud to cover their fur in order to disguise their scent and blend into the rock better so that prey doesn't spot them so easily. The visiting Clan cats try this, and aren't too thrilled at the idea, but it works.

*** This isn't entirely impossible, even in the U.S.A. [[Captain Obvious|An animal needs to have rabies in the first place in order to transmit it]], so unless the bitten/biting animal had it, there's no risk. That said (assuming the series ''did'' take place in America), it would still be amazing that, in all this time, they never ''once'' addressed this danger.

* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: The three, but most notably Jayfeather.

* [[Dark Chick]]: {{spoiler|Mapleshade. And Ivypool, to some extent.}}.

* [[Darkest Hour]]: The [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|aptly-named]] ''The Darkest Hour'', as well as various other points throughout the series, like ''Dawn'', or the later books in ''Power of Three''.

* [[Death Byby Childbirth]]: {{spoiler|Silverstream and Brightsky}}

* [[A Death in Thethe Limelight]]: {{spoiler|Flametail}} in ''Night Whispers''.

** Tigerstar is {{spoiler|ripped open from throat to tail and loses ''[[Cats Have Nine Lives|all nine of his lives]]'' from blood loss}}.

* [[Defiant to Thethe End]]: Stonefur.

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]:

** In ''Bluestar's Prophecy'', Bluekit and Snowkit had their eyes open and were walking around the camp ''way'' too soon after birth.

{{quote| "What are you doing here?" Hollyleaf demanded. She could feel every hair on her pelt bristling, her tail fluffing out to twice it's size, and her belly churning with distrust of this powerful cat. "I thought you'd gone."<br />

* [[DoctorsDoctor's Orders]]: There are plenty of times when a medicine cat says "As your medicine cat, I'm ''ordering'' you to rest."

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: Jayfeather (also his [[Berserk Button]]). Also don't be too nice to him, or he'll think you're pitying him. And don't mention his blindness, but then again, [[Hair-Trigger Temper|don't seem like you're trying to avoid it, either]].

{{quote| Firestar let out a long breath. "I don't know, Bramblepaw," he admitted. "I just don't know."}}

* [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]]:

*** Said tree was then used as a bridge, therefore [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|literally dropping a bridge on him...]]

* [[Dysfunction Junction]]:

* [[Early -Bird Cameo|Early Cat Cameo]]: Thistleclaw is mentioned in ''Forest of Secrets'' and shows up in ''Rise Of Scourge'' before his real debut in ''Bluestar's Prophecy''.

* [[Either or/Or Prophecy]]: StarClan seems to give a lot of these. Take the prophecy at the top of the page, for instance. It does not say that fire ''will'' save the Clan ({{spoiler|indeed, a forest fire nearly ''kills'' the Clan in the fourth book}}). A minor prophecy in the second arc is misinterpreted as well due to this trope.

* [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bees]]: A scene in {{spoiler|1=SkyClan's Destiny}}.

* [[Executive Meddling]]:

* [[Eye Scream]]:

** {{spoiler|Brightheart's face being mauled and almost completely ripped off by a dog.}} A later bit of narration in TPoT implies her parts of her skull remain visible.

** Brokenstar {{spoiler|gets his eyes clawed by Yellowfang and is permanently blinded}}.

** And we now have {{spoiler|Percy}} in ''SkyClan's Destiny''.

* [[Fighting forFor Aa Homeland]]: {{spoiler|1=SkyClan}}, when they were exiled from the forest. The other four Clans, when [[Doomed Hometown|the forest is destroyed]] - but at least [[The Promised Land|they know there's good territory waiting for them]].

* [[First Snow]]: Happens a couple times. In ''Fire and Ice'', Fireheart is amazed because he hasn't seen it before; he was shut inside as a kit when still living with Twolegs when it last snowed. He quickly learns that snow makes it difficult to move around, however. In ''The Darkest Hour'', Firestar is out with his apprentice Bramblepaw when it begins to snow. Bramblepaw chases the snowflakes gleefuly, and Fireheart wonders whether Bramblepaw's evil father Tigerstar ever played with snowflakes.

* [[Flanderization]]: RiverClan's fish-loving tendencies (no, not like ''[[But You Screw One Goat!|that]]''), as well as the general [[Love It or Hate It]] nature of fish as prey.

* [[Flat Earth Atheist]]:

* [[Flip -Flop of God]]: Has happened sometimes.

* [[Framing Device]]: In the field guides ''Code'' and ''Battles of the Clans'', the reader is a kittypet who is visiting the Clans and being told stories by the characters.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Pretty much every villain in the series. Tigerstar {{spoiler|had a father who abandoned him to become a kittypet, and a mentor who taught him to be violent and evil}}. Brokenstar was abused by his foster mother, Lizardstripe. Scourge {{spoiler|was bullied by his siblings, Ruby and Socks. They told him he would be drowned in the river if he wasn't adopted by Twolegs, so he ran away, only to be attacked almost to death by Tigerstar.}} Sol {{spoiler|1=had a father who neglected his kits, and a mother who always told them stories about SkyClan cats and was upset with her life. Because she couldn't take care of them, she gave them all to Twolegs. Sol thought that, if he was a SkyClan cat, his mother wouldn't have given him away.}} Mapleshade {{spoiler|1=was hoping to become ThunderClan leader, but they drove her out after she had kits with a RiverClan tom. She then tried taking her kits to RiverClan, but they drowned on the way. RiverClan rejected her, her mate blamed her for the kits' death, and he took on another mate within his Clan.}}

* [[Gender Bender]]: A ''lot'', most of them being one-time typos. Permanent/more major ones include:

* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: {{spoiler|Learning that her parents broke the Warrior Code, which she'd obsessed over for the majority of her life, pretty much [[Break the Cutie|shattered what was left of Hollyleaf's sanity]].}}

* [[G-Rated Sex]]: Beyond all of the characters that have been born to the various [[Official Couple|Official Couples]]s throughout the series (one litter being both implied and confirmed by [[Word of God]] to be the result of a one-night stand), there are some specific scenes that are very noticeable:

** Before what Firestar thinks will be the final battle with Tigerstar, he starts thinking about how many of his cats might die. He then asks Sandstorm to join him in his den.

* [[Grim Up North]]: ShadowClan, normally thought to be the most "evil" Clan, lives in the northernmost territory. There's even a saying in ThunderClan that the cold north wind blows over every ShadowClan cat and chills their heart.

* [[Hijacked Byby Ganon|Hijacked By Tigerstar]]

* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Hollyleaf even pokes fun at this, when she says that Sorreltail is one of the rare cats in ThunderClan who isn't that.

* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]:

* [[Impaled Withwith Extreme Prejudice]]: {{spoiler|Sharptooth}} and {{spoiler|Hawkfrost}}.

* [[Initiation Ceremony]]: Of the pleasant type, joining the clan requires taking an oath of loyalty in front of the clan, and adopting a clan suitable name.

* Irony: In ''Outcast'', thinking about [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|Crowfeather]], Hollyleaf thinks "I'm glad he's not ''my'' father!" {{spoiler|Three guesses what happens three books later.}}

* [[Is That a Threat?]]: In ''SkyClan's Destiny'':

{{quote| '''Skipper:''' "I've seen Red around a lot lately. Next time, it might be a tuft of her fur that's left beside a dead Twoleg pet."<br />

'''Stick:''' "Leave Red out of this. And don't make threats you can't keep."<br />

* [[It Seemed Like a Good Idea At Thethe Time]]: StarClan thought it was a good idea to hide {{spoiler|the secret about their parents}} from Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather. ''[[Break the Cutie|It]]'' ''[[Dysfunction Junction|wasn't]]''.

* [[ItsIt's Raining Men|It's Raining Cats]]: The "Skydrop" move that SkyClan developed and that ThunderClan later uses.

* [[It Sucks to Be Thethe Chosen One]]: [[Oh My Gods|Great StarClan]], does it.

* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]:

** Crowfeather could also count, but Feathertail and Leafpool are the only ones who have [[Hidden Heart of Gold|actually seen his good side]]. It's worth a mention that Crowfeather {{spoiler|was ''a lot'' more of a pleasant cat before his first love, Feathertail died.}}

*** He was still a jerk back then. The only difference is that now he's actually abusive.

* [[Just -So Story]]: There are stories in ''Secrets of the Clans'' that explain how tigers got stripes and how adders came to be.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: Blackstar. He was one of the minions of two different [[Big Bad|Big Bads]]s, killed a ThunderClan elder while trying to kidnap some kits, and murdered the RiverClan deputy in cold blood in front of the entire Clan. He then goes on to be Clan leader, and Firestar lets him off with what can best be described as a stern warning. None of this is ever mentioned ever again.

*** That would explain why they don't just invade ShadowClan and kill him, but it doesn't explain the sheer lack of animosity any Clan shows towards him for those actions, as well as the fact that they're never acknowledged to the point of borderline [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]]. Not to mention that he's probably going to end up in StarClan when he dies, even though other cats have gone to the Dark Forest for doing less horrible things with the exact same justification.

* [[Last -Episode New Character]]: Dovepaw and Ivypaw are born at the ending of ''Sunrise'' (the last book in the third series), with Jayfeather realizing that {{spoiler|one of them is the third cat in the prophecy}}. Both of them are main characters in the fourth series.

* [[Lawful Stupid]]: Hollyleaf was turning into this before {{spoiler|her death.}}

* [[Lost in Transmission]]: Whitethroat is injured, and Fireheart questions him about Runningwind's death. But just when Whitethroat opens his mouth begins to speak, a monster roars past so Fireheart can't hear him, and [[His Name Is--|when Whitethroat tries to speak a second time, he dies]].

* [[May-DecemberMay–December Romance]]: Pinestar and Leopardfoot... he's already a ''leader'' on (or close to) his last life when she's ''born''.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: A Clan cat's name is an indicator of their rank in the Clan hierarchy: kits' names end in -kit, apprentices' in -paw, leaders' in -star... the more unique names belong to warriors and medicine cats. Further, many cats have names that reflect some aspect of their appearance: Firestar got his name from his oft-mentioned "flame-colored pelt", and as for Halftail and One-eye... [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|isn't it obvious?]]

** And [[http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv237/Flametail_von_Karma/Book<!-- 20Covers20and%20Covers%20and%20Official%20Art/chinesetdh.jpg the Taiwanese version]] of ''The Darkest Hour''. -->

{{quote| Crookedstar's head was spinning. "Slow down," he meowed.<br />

* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: Leaders have supreme authority, and their orders are followed, no matter how insane or evil they are.

* [[A Nazi Byby Any Other Name]]: Tigerstar towards the end of the first series.

* [[Never Say Goodbye]]: Fireheart does this to {{spoiler|Yellowfang}} when he finds her [[Almost -Dead Guy|dying]]. She starts to tell him something she wants him to hear before she dies, and he stops her, insisting she isn't going to die. She knows she is, though, and continues speaking.

* [[New Powers Asas the Plot Demands]]: A bit of subversion with Lionblaze, since his power covers the incredibly wide umbrella of "{{spoiler|being ''really'' good at fighting}}", meaning the authors are able to make them take the shape of whatever they're in the mood for writing. {{spoiler|What to show how crazy and out off control he is? He is invulnerable and bloodthirsty to the point where he bathes in his enemies' blood. Need something heavy held up? He has super strength. Bullet time is fun to write? He fights in bullet time}}.

* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted. There have been three different cats named Birchstar, two Ashfurs, three Rocks, and each healer of the Tribe of Rushing Water adopts the name of Stoneteller, among other examples.

* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: Two Tribe of Endless Hunting ancestors named Fall and Slant are mentioned in ''Sign of the Moon''. We never hear their full Tribe names, just their nicknames.

* [[Only Mostly Dead]]: Leaders stay dead for a few minutes before getting the wound that killed them healed and waking up.

* [[Opposed Mentors]]: In ''Crookedstar's Promise'', the titular character is taught by his real mentor, Cedarpelt, but, unknown to other cats, he also is trained in his dreams by the deceased warrior Mapleshade. Mapleshade focuses more on combat skills, while Cedarpelt tries to explain that being a warrior is about more than just being a good fighter. Even their advice on battle moves differs, though that can be explained by the fact that {{spoiler|Mapleshade came from another Clan}}.

** In addition, Firestar has a split mentorship for two moons between Lionheart and Tigerstar. As you would expect, they argue a lot. However, two moons into his apprenticeship, he gets Bluestar as his permanent mentor.

* [[Overly Long Name]]: Most of the cats of the Tribe of Rushing water have these, like Brook Where Small Fish Swim or Teller of the Pointed Stones.

* [[Owl Be Damned]]: Owls are often thought of as ill omens. Justified, since an owl seems quite large to a cat, and owls have been known to carry off kits. However, ThunderClan does occasionally look for owls at night, because if it's windy and they're having trouble scenting prey, they can follow an owl and find prey that way.

* [[Renowned Selective Mentor]]: It is considered to be a huge honor to be mentored by the Clan leader or, to a lesser degree, the deputy. It occurs only a couple times in the series, most notably in the first book when Bluestar chooses Firepaw as her apprentice. It is also considered an honor to train as the medicine cat's apprentice, because it is such an important position; each medicine cat only trains one apprentice in their lifetime. In that case, however, it usually isn't a surprise because the younger cat already has an interest in healing and helps out the medicine cat for a while before officially being apprenticed.

* [[Retcon]]: Since the first book in the series, Blackstar has had black paw''s''. However, as of ''Sign of the Moon'', he only has one black paw.

** Bluestar's Prophecy and Crookedstar's Promise were set in the same timeline. In one shared scene between the two books, in a gathering, the cats' dialogue was retconned to reference an event in Crookedstar's Promise (which was the later released of the two).

* [[Retronym]]:

* [[Running Gag]]: Almost every time [[Meaningful Name|Runningnose]] makes an appearance, one of the main characters will remark that he can't be that great of a medicine cat since he can't even cure his own cold.

** Even ''dying'' isn't enough to stop him from being the butt of this joke...

* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Both Rosetail and Larksong are [[Idiosyncratic Ship Naming|Platonicshippers]] (BlueXThrush).

* [[Shout -Out]]:

** Vicky admits to hiding quotes from ''[[Rambo]]'' and ''[[Gladiator (Filmfilm)|Gladiator]]'' in some of the dialogue.

** Fuzzypelt is named after [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy_Felt:Fuzzy Felt|Fuzzy Felt]], a toy Vicky remembers playing with when she was little.

** The magazine ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Fancy_:Cat Fancy (magazine) |Cat Fancy]]'' makes an appearance in the first volume of the SkyClan manga, on page 82.

** As Vicky is a ''[[Star Trek]]'' fan, ''The New Prophecy'' was originally going to be called ''[[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation|The Next Generation]]''. She still has files on her computer with "TNG" in the name.

** ''Twilight'' [[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|by Stephenie Meyer]]

** ''Eclipse'' [[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|by Stephenie Meyer]]

* [[Smart People Speak the QueensQueen's English]]: The last three audiobooks in the ''The New Prophecy'' series are read by Nanette Savard, an American actress. The narration and most of the characters are read with an American accent - except, for some reason, the [[The Medic|medicine cats]], who are read with a British accent. They're regular Clan cats, born and lived with their Clanmates all their lives, and just chose a different job - so where did the accent come from? Are they born with it and for some reason all cats with this accent take the medicine cat's job? Or does healing cats suddenly give you a different accent somehow?

* [[Speak in Unison]]: StarClan is described as sounding like every cat Firestar has ever known, all speaking at once in one clear voice.

* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To [[TailchasersTailchaser's Song]]. Also to the ''[[The Book of the Named]]'' series, to the point that the Ratha books have been accused of copying Warriors, except for the fact that ''Ratha's Creature'' was published 20 years before ''Into the Wild''.

* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Spottedleaf.

* [[Start My Own]]:

* [[Storming the Castle]]: The characters will, on rare occasions, attack another Clan's camp instead of just fighting somewhere in the territory. This can be risky, though, as the home Clan knows the best way to defend it, will be fighting more fiercely and desperately to protect the defenseless kits and elders, and the raiding Clan is usually outnumbered. It's worked about as often as it has failed.

{{quote| '''Vicky''' ''(after a fan asked what Yellowfang's Secret would be about)'': [[Shrug of God|Yellowfang will be in it. She will have a secret. Bad things will happen.]]}}

* [[Tongue Onon the Flagpole]]: In his manga trilogy, Ravenpaw gets his tongue stuck to some ice in a gutter on the barn roof.

* [[Total Eclipse of the Plot]]: The eclipse in... err... ''[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Eclipse]]''.

* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: Both figuratively and literally with training in the Dark Forest.

* [[Treachery Cover -Up]]: {{spoiler|When Hollyleaf dies in the tunnels after trying to escape from her Clan and everything that had gone wrong, Lionblaze and Jayfeather cover up her treachery by telling the Clan she had died chasing a squirrel into the tunnel, so that she would be remembered as a brave hunter rather than Ashfur's killer.}}

** {{spoiler|Ashfur}} after ''Long Shadows'', and {{spoiler|Tigerstar}} after he is exiled in ''Forest of Secrets''.

** Brightspirit, Shiningheart, and Braveheart are based on ten-year-old fan Emmy Cherry and her parents Jimmy and Dana, who all died in a tornado in February 2008. [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130702063115/http://wandsandworlds.com/community/node/3487 Vicky sent a message to Wands and Worlds] so that the members there could offer words of support and comfort to Emmy's family. They gave Emmy and her parents warrior names to honor them. Vicky decided to use those names in the next book, ''Long Shadows'', which she also dedicated to them.

** Ivypool, a current main character, is named after a person too. While Ivy herself, as a toddler, is too young to have read the books, her family has gone to see the author on every single one of her tours, earning them the nickname "FarDrivingClan" from Vicky. They have become good friends with her, and she decided to name the character after the youngest member of the family. Vicky has recently confirmed her warrior name to be {{spoiler|Ivypool, because Ivy's full name is Ivy Poole.}}

* [[Unto Us a Son Andand Daughter Are Born]]: Naturally this will happen from time to time, since having more than one kit in a litter isn't out of the ordinary for cats.

* [[Villain Withwith Good Publicity]]: Tigerclaw in the first series.

* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]:

* [[Wham! Episode]]: ''Long Shadows''. Hoo boy...
