Sunny Cat lists terminology used in the Warriors universe.
hello all! this is my first article on the blog despite being an active member for over a year and a half. all terminology is taken from the warriors wiki while i wrote each definition (ive also decided to keep each definition relatively simple so that warriors fans of all reading levels can enjoy the dictionary). note that this article does not include insults and phrases (eg: mousebrain, may starclan light your path, etc).
idk what else to say now so lets just get on with the article:

Thank you so much for writing this article!
I will be saving this to notes! Got to have references for fanfiction!
np!
Great job!
The dirt place is a tolit?????????????
Yeah, you didn’t know?
Oh my gosh I’ve never heard “kitstep” but it is SO CUTE!!! Also thanks, this really helps!
(First??)
no problem!
Great article! But has anybody else noticed the difference in insults between Clans? ThunderClan uses mouse-brain, RiverClan uses frog-brain (or they did in Crookedstar’s Promise), ShadowClan uses lizard-brain (Yellowfang’s Secret), WindClan uses rabbit-brain (Tallstar’s Revenge), and SkyClan uses feather-brain (Cloudstar’s Journey, I believe). I don’t know about you all, but I find this to be a delightful little detail! It’s so fun to see how different Clans use slightly different language based on region! And it’s just wonderful world-building in general.
Wow! I never noticed that – that’s super cool! 😀
I never noticed that! That’s cool! I always thought RiverClan used fish-brain though
They might! I only listed one for each Clan, that I could remember. Though I believe SkyClan also uses bird-brain, and other Clans have used feather-brain. I was just going off from my rather unreliable memory 🙂
Agreed! I’m pretty sure it’s the prey they eat. Also, some clans say foxheart, others say snakeheart.
Thank you so much, i didnt know most of these i only knew a few. This will help a lot with my fanfic! ( first coment?)
This is going to be so useful for mine and Ghosti’s fanfic
you’re welcome 🙂
Thanks! This was an amazing, helpful article to read!
Great Article! This is great to refer to for fan fiction!
Great article. This is sure to help many BlogClanners and Warriors readers in general!
