RIVERCLAN;;
FIGHTING;;
RIVERCLAN;;
Contented, sleek, well fed. Long fur and glossy coats. They love beautiful things and often collect rocks, shells and feathers for their dens. They do not fear water.
Unique Battle Skill;; Water Combat
True to their name, RiverClan's life comes from the water. It feeds them, cools them and keeps them safe from foxes, dogs and curious twolegs. With the river, they have the power to choose whether or not they want to fight as very few attackers have the ability to swim after them. They slide out of the river like fish with fur, silently flooding the shore before their enemy knows they are there. Beneath their glossy pelts often lie strong legs that can carve through water and tails like rudders to steer them through the swiftest currents. RiverClan are known for luring their enemies to the shore and dragging them into the river or lake to fight in the water where they have the advantage. RiverClan stays light and nimble in the water, freed by it rather than trapped.
SPECIAL BATTLE TACTIC;; The Rushpaw Splash
WATER COMBAT MOVES;;
These are a jealously guarded secret among RiverClan. All teaching of these moves is done in streams that run through the territory, well out of sight of other Clans.
HUNTING;;RiverClan fish! RiverClan swim! RiverClan warriors use water to win!

SPECIAL BATTLE TACTIC;; The Rushpaw Splash
RiverClan sneaks up on their enemies from the water, only their ears, eyes and noses showing over the water. 0Standing silently in the river, a warrior uses their tail to flick water up or downstream, making noise with the splash and giving their enemy a false position. The warrior can then catch their enemy by surprise while they look for a cat that isn't there.
WATER COMBAT MOVES;;
These are a jealously guarded secret among RiverClan. All teaching of these moves is done in streams that run through the territory, well out of sight of other Clans.
- Double-front-paw slap-down;; Splashes water into the face of the enemy
- Underwater leg sweep;; The opponent will not see it coming under the water and will not have a chance to brace themselves before losing their balance
- Push-down and release;; Almost all non-RiverClan cats panic if they are submerged, while RiverClan cats know how to hold their breath underwater.
- Underwater clinch;; Use warrior's weight to hold the opponent below the surface, with a first grip that enables the warrior to bring his enemy spluttering back to the surface before forcing him under again.
- Tail Splash;; Temporarily blinds opponent by flicking water in their eyes
- Underwater push-off;; Crouching and erupting out of the water into opponent, using surprise and impact to knock them off balance.
Hunting Skills;; Strong swimmers, moving silent and scentless through water. They scoop fish out of the water from the bank -- a skill most cats in the other Clans cannot master.
Prey;; Mostly fish but also water voles, shrews and mice.
