Fan ArticlesEchomist shares their opinion on the latest ShadowClan leader, Tigerheart.
Helloooooooooooooooooo! I’m Echomist with an article about Tigerheart being as evil. I will not be calling Tigerheart by his leader name. You’ll see why. SPOILERS FOR A VISION OF SHADOWS AND OMEN OF THE STARS!
First reason: he kidnapped a cat.
He totally kidnapped Ivypaw! My quarrel is not with Dovewing on this, because I know she is totally spoiled and I should expect that from her, but Tigerheart? I expected more from him! He literally shoved Dovewhine over here under a bush and took Ivypaw away! And then bargained her for herbs! All because of a secret he should of told Dovewhine anyway! (Dovewhine is not a typo)
Second reason: I don’t know the word for this, sorry
Bramblestar was supposed to be the cat that was judged for the things his father did. He was supposed to be the one that became a leader. But then Tigerheart came along, and it took away from Bramblestar. There are way too many Tigerstar clones! Like there’s Hawkfrost, Bramblestar, Tigerheart WHAT?
Third reason: his leadership
The medicine cats we’re at the Moonpool or whatever, and Tigerheart comes out of lonerness (I don’t know the word don’t judge me!) and suddenly announces he is the leader of ShadowClan and Dovewing is joining him.
What?
He literally said “I am ready to be your leader” and they all started calling out his name. I reread this about thirty times and it still didn’t make any sense. I mean, had there been an adjustment to the Warrior Code that says “if someone randomly turns up after disappearing and claims to be dead, they are automatically leader”??
I didn’t understand it at all. It made absolutely no sense. He could have been lying for all they knew! But for some reason cats were just like “Tigerstar! Tigerstar! Tigerstar!” and I’m like what just happened? River of Fire was crazy. He really doesn’t deserve to be leader because he suddenly left, then he expects everyone to welcome him with open, uh, paws. And to make matters worse, THEY DO. Something weird is going on with that guy.
Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it!
May StarClan light your path,
Echomist.

I really liked your article! I’m not sure if these reasons qualify Tigerheart to be evil though…more just like an unlikeable character or an antagonist.
In my opinion, he’s not evil, just annoying. Great article!
I despise Tigerheartstar but I don’t think he’s evil 😛 all the things you listed are all things that annoy me greatly, but I don’t really think they do anything to prove him to be evil.
It’s not his fault he’s a Tigerstar clone, that just makes him unoriginal. And again, he doesn’t deserve to be leader, but I fail to see how that makes him evil? I don’t really remember your first point but I don’t think that kidnapping a cat is enough to qualify him as evil.
Someone gets it. He’s not evil, just a Tigerstar clone who was the only one willing to take on the role of leader. If you ask me, Tawnypelt would’ve made a far better leader. And I think the kidnapping was what he thought was best for his clan, even though it was a dumb plan, it worked out in the end, at least.
I’m on Power of Three, but nice article!
Oh wow I officailly agree with you
yeah!
I don’t think he’s that evil. Just a jerk. And annoying.
great article thoughhh
He might have been a jerk when he was a ‘paw but he leveled out a lot when he became a warrior
i don’t think Tigerheart is evil,but he sure is my least favorite character and the WORST.
What he REALLY did bad was kidnapping Ivypool,and taking Alderheart hostage(and not JUST hostage,he was ready to hurt him if Puddleshine died),and Not Waiting when Squirrelflight told them not to attack the sister’s and just wait 1 moon.(and don’t tell me the other leaders did too because the other leaders mostly agreed,and in bramblestar’s case he agreed because he had no choice)
He’s not evil just quite arrogant and a bit selfish
I don’t think Tigerheart is evil AT ALL.
For starters, he’s actually a really good mate to Dovewing. He gave her a second chance at having a mate after annoying Bumblestripe forced her to be with him.
Tigerheart did make some mistakes, I will admit, but did he make up for them?
In my opinion, yes.
Turtle Tail will always be the queen to me <3Turtletail and Neetletail are the best!!! I love them so much!!
Well, he’s the only one who sees through the false Bramblestar.
Me when I saw this came out:
oh no not this one cringeeeeeeee
Tigerheart is not evil, and deserves to be leader
Don’t go down that road.
It ends with an angry Ttera throwing waffles.
Still going down it ;P
I’ll eat the waffles you get thrown at you from the angry Ttera…
I personally think Tawnypelt would’ve made a better leader, but he’s doing a pretty good job as leader so far.
I’ve always hated Tigerheart! But I do think he’s a good father to his three babies :3
He gud dad.
