Round 18: Name that Clan
In this game, I give you the description of a Clan, and you need to give them a good name! (Eg. a clan that lives in a field and is very regal can be MeadowClan, FerretClan, GoldenClan, etc. etc. The possibilities are endless!)
1. This Clan lives near the top of a deep ravine with a fast, rapid river running underneath. Their territory is dominated by conifers, and they primarily hunt large game, like deer. As a result, they’re very strong. However, when it’s cold, they go down into the ravine and hunt for fish, but none of them are very apt swimmers. They’re known for being driven, proud and nimble, and most of the cats have a light build and are very fast.
2. This Clan lives in the highlands, with many lakes near them. There aren’t many trees in their territory, and they often hunt martens and squirrels, and although they have birds and deer on their territory, they struggle to catch them. The Clan has a deep connection to puffins, and when the puffins return to the shore during newleaf and greenleaf, this Clan believes it has good luck. Kits born when the puffin chicks are born are said to have deep connections to the puffins and are said to be blessed. This creates deep rifts within the Clan, and cats born during leaf fall and leafbare are less likely to end up in leadership positions. Besides this, the clan is very easygoing and open to outsiders coming in, and they are mostly active around dusk and count dusk as the lucky time of day (there are more name available than just PuffinClan, I promise you)
(1/2: Reply to the next comment with your answer!)
1. RootClan: Roots support tree and I don’t know about you guys, but I would be proud to support the tree
2. ShamrockClan: This Clan is a bit supernatural and the shamrock is often associated with luck
3. MazeClan: Their home is like a maze
4. AlleyClan: Since they are scavengers and most likely alley cats (if not they look for food like an alley cat), AlleyClan is an appropriate name for it
Make sure you replied to the second comment as Osp said!
1. Felineclan
2. Swimmersclan
Lushclan
Groveclan
Coveclan
Trashclan (Jk Condorclan)
Osprue you’re so creative! <3
tysm <3
3. This Clan lives in a cave near the sea, with a rocky floor, but they find a way to make it work. The cave is vast and cats are taught to be safe from a very young age, and they take this lesson of safety to heart. Barely any cats have died because of growing or gotten injured in this sea cave, and every cat’s greatest fear is for someone to get lost in the cave. They mostly hunt fish, and are very strong swimmers who have learnt to read the ocean accurately. This Clan is said to be one of the most skilled, and therefore, the cat’s apprenticeships go on for 10 moons rather than 6 moons. Sometimes, it’s said that this Clan is too safe, and they’re scared of change, which may be very true, and that’s held them back in some areas where they could innovate. They mostly hunt fish, and the cats are very strong and have a thick undercoat.
4. This Clan lives in the docks of a large city. They made their home behind a pizza restaurant, and are scavengers more than hunters. They’re extremely well fed as a result, and the general consensus is that anchovy pizza is the best because their primary diet is pizza. While the owner of the pizza shop cares for them deeply and they’re basically her pets at this point, don’t mistake them as being weak. They’re very tough and are known to put up a fight when stray cats mess with them. While they can’t hunt, they’re brave fighters and have scared off intruders to the pizza shop or nasty customers. But besides that, every cat in the Clan is very sweet. Their favourite time of day is the night, and at night on a full moon, instead of holding a gathering, they go out to the docks and look over the shining city.
(2/2)

Caveclan
Pizzaclan
pizzaclan frfr
ShadedClan
WaterClan
FlintClan
VultureClan, theyre scavengers
#1: Hmm, it sounds like they have a rapid river, which during leafbare they hunt in. So I think they should be named RapidClan, not only after the river but after their strong build.
#2: Ooh, so at first I thought of PuffinClan, but figured that would kinda be generic and/or taken. So, after thinking for a bit, I’ve come to the conclusion of DuskClan, as they count dusk as the most important time of day, and count it lucky.
#3: Interesting. So, caves have those dipping things (I think they’re called stalagmites?? idk haven’t done that in a while), which some people call crystals. So, I have thought of the name CrystalClan 🙂
#4: I love this! NightClan sounds the best to me. They love night the best AND they look over the city >3

3. BatClan, because they live in caves, and it’s also a name from my fanfiction! (I can imagine these cats having large ears)

No it isn’t, someone did it for the second one, but not the first one.
according to above, rippleclan was the second one and the third one, and it’s still considered taken ^^
also, think about this: when osp judges, i don’t think she would list:
winner of 2 is: exampleclan
winner of 3 is exampleclan
1. RavineClan
2. LakeClan
3. WaveClan
4. SweetClan
Changing WaveClan to RockyClan since it was taken
lakeclan taken sorry
Changing LakeClan to BrightClan (which better not turn out to be taken again)

Ok this is taking forever but change that to… LeafyClan?? And if that’s taken AukClan?? And if that’s taken GreenClan?
leafyclan is good 🙂
DeerClan
CheesepuffClan (because puffins 😛 also they kinda give me superstitious vibes therefore cheese because more cheese = more holes but more holes = less cheese so more cheese = less cheese? which is why I chose the name CheesepuffClan)
ClamClan (no, I’m actually serious 😛)
Californiagirlswe’reunforgettableClan (Lol this was so random)
yasss your supporting them californians! 😛
Wait changing the last one to CaliforniaClan We’re Unforgettable or just CaliforniaClan for short
1. ForestClan
2. SkyClan
3. HollowClan
4. TwilightClan
wait, is skyclan allowed? it’s canon, but the rules for the rotation above doesn’t say so is it allowed?
Probably not?
Ohh ok, sorry, I did not know, I’ll change it right away! 🙂 It is now HighClan!
GorgeClan
ShoreClan
OceanClan
ScavengeClan
steepclan – for the steep ravine they live near, as well as their pride and the risks they take to provide for their clan (hunting big game and stuff is pretty crazy for smol baby kitties)
herringclan – puffins eat herrings; herrings are known for swimming in large schools, showing their friendliness; herrings are very common fish and are also often eaten (delicious), showing that this clan can be taken advantage of for its niceness and its flawed leadership-choosing process; reference to the phrase “red herring” which means a clue that is meant to mislead you, showing their mislead belief that kittens born in newleaf and greenleaf are better; also an ironic name given that they presumably don’t live near the ocean, showing that there may be other lies in their beliefs as well; also i think herrings are active during dusk idk how would i know i’ve never seen one before in my life lmao
remipedeclan – remipedes are found in caves and other dark environments, especially saline ones, which fits this clan’s location in a dark cave near the sea; remipedes are blind and colorless, showing this clan’s blindness/resistance to change; remipedes are venomous, which could be viewed as a metaphor for skill in hunting for this clan; remipedes are known for having a primitive body type in comparison to other crustaceans, which also shows this clan’s resistance to change and innovation; remipedes swim slowly on their backs rather than in a quick manner that would normally find food, and this shows this clan’s caution in the cave
ratclan – pizza rat
ratclan was taken eggy
The explanation for HerringClan is so cool omg
ALPINECLAN
The Deft and Dangerous
(Name was inspired by the Chasseurs Alpin, which reminded me a lot of this clan, as well as their hunting grounds, which I envision as an alpine forest.)
LUNDICLAN
The Cordial and Cunning
(Lundi means puffin in Icelandic, which is one of the main habitats of puffins. The geography that this clan lives in also strongly resembles that of Iceland.)
ABYSSALCLAN
The Stoic and Strong
(Abyssal describes the huge cave system that they live in as well as the dangerous yet life-sustaining ocean that is so close to them.)
PINEAPPLECLAN
The Well-Liked and Well-Fed
(The story behind this is that pineapple is the least-liked type of pizza among the clan, but since a lot of the times it was the only type available the leaders named the clan PineappleClan in a bid to increase liking of pineapple. It didn’t really work but everyone liked the name so it stuck.)
1. GaleClan – they are fast, nimble, and light, like the wind, but also strong from bringing down large game like deer (a gale is a very strong wind). They fish but aren’t exactly adept swimmers; wind (or a gale) creates the surface current or whatever it’s called (this was sixth grade science 😭), pushing the top of the water in the direction it’s going, but isn’t able to do much other than that. Also i just kinda picture a coniferous area being like, really windy…idk.
2. CrepuscularClan – A crepuscular animal is active at the times of dawn and dusk. When people look at a sunrise or sunset, they focus mainly on one thing: the colors of the sky. Even though there are many other things they could look at, the clouds, the sun, the setting, they look at the colors of the sky. This represents their prey; they focus on small prey because they can’t get the large prey. This is similar but not exact to how sunrise/sets are viewed, not exact because they don’t not look at other details of a sunrise/sets because they are physically unable to, but rather because they don’t have as much interest. Additionally, puffins arrive at newleaf and greenleaf, which is the world starting over from frost and decay. Dawn. Finally, the clan is active at dusk (self explanatory).
3. CavernClan- I just needed a break from long explanations
4. TrojanClan – ok….this has to do with the legend of the Trojan horse. Yk like they put Greek soldiers into a wooden horse and put it outside the gates of Troy, then the Trojans thought it was a gift of surrender and brought it inside the city, and then the soldiers came out and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek soldiers. I’m comparing the Trojan horse to the clan of cats. So one of the themes of this story is deception, and since ‘TrojanClan’ is taken care of by the owner of the pizza resturaunt and has a diet mainly consisting of pizza (not a healthy food!), other cats in the area (especially alleyway strays) might perceive them as weak. This would be wrong, because in the Clan description they’re actually pretty good and brave fighters. Additionally, ‘TrojanClan’ are more scavengers than hunters….by making the Trojan horse, the Greeks weren’t directly trying to assault the city, like maybe making a giant horse to hide their whole army in and then just coming out and attacking the town, but they were using smoke and mirrors and being crafty in order to infiltrate the city. Scavengers need to be crafty…more so than hunters. In the legend, Troy was a great city, and certainly the Greek soldiers in the horse were astounded by its might when they came out of the horse and beheld it, just as ‘TrojanClan’ beholds the city every full moon. Finally, ‘TrojanClan’ lives on the docks of a city, and I’m pretty sure that Troy was a coastal city, so when the Trojan horse was left outside the gates of Troy, it was probably pretty close to the water.
that is a very very long reasoning
1. CliffClan
2. ShoreClan
3. CoveClan
4. GlimmerClan

3) LittoralClan (I was thinking: OldClan 😛 /j I found that a Littoral Cave is a Sea Cave so… why not?)

I approve of a Clan named ShadeClan 😛
Yes definitely 😛
Me too 😛
yes and i’ll let you be the leader of it 😛
1. MagnoliaClan (magnolias are associated with pride)
2. CragClan (puffins nest at crags, and there is a ‘crag’ between the kits born in warm seasons and kits born in cold seasons)
3. AnemoneClan (they have good surviving skills and resistance to change, which reminds me of anemones for some reason)
4. RookClan (rooks (or crows) are well-known for being cunning scavengers)
1. Briskclan (Because it seems like they would be quite swift to be able to hunt deer)
2. Fortuneclan ( They are said to be blessed and fortunate because of the puffins)
3. Spiderclan (because spiders are very skillful climbers)
4. Gladiolusclan (because the Gladiolus plant symbolizes strength)
RapidClan
MountainClan
SeaClan
AnchoveyClan
RapidClan’s taken.
1. RootClan: Roots support tree and I don’t know about you guys, but I would be proud to support the tree
2. ShamrockClan: This Clan is a bit supernatural and the shamrock is often associated with luck
3. MazeClan: Their home is like a maze
4. AlleyClan: Since they are scavengers and most likely alley cats (if not they look for food like an alley cat), AlleyClan is an appropriate name for it
so basically, I submitted it at the first comment, so I am reposting it. I haven’t changed anything though
Ok I’m gonna use ur format Blazey😉
RaptorClan
The Strong and Nimble
They’re very fast and nimble, and hunt large game, like deer, which is similar to raptors.
DropletClan
The Faithful and Friendly
So they’re very faithful, which is what I gathered from their beliefs, and blood is usually used to seal promises, so I chose ‘Droplet’ for a droplet of blood.
CoralClan
The Skilled and Wary
They live near the sea, so there could be coral reefs for all we know, and stones are somewhat similar to corals(even though I know that they’re made of tiny skeletons😛), and coral can build up and turn to part of the cave over time.
SprayClan
The Sly and Defensive
Okay, so the reason I put sly is because the act like pets to live, but except for that, they go out to the sea, and at that time, there should be sprays of water showering their fur. Also, they eat pizza, which has cheese sometimes ‘sprayed’ onto it(though why they can eat it without dying, I do not know)😛.
We absolutely do not know a cat named Droplet who is turning out to be very suspicious… (Note: I never knew Osprey had a half-sis, I doubt Flickerz even planned his character to be that involved with Reed and Shiver haha)
Wait.
…Osprey? On the ROTATION page?
And now Droplet? Oh wow…
Yea Osprey there 😛
And cat that can control the weather also here too :>
Ooh like Clan gen😏
Eeeeeeeeeeek when I saw this my brain just instinctly thought of a thousand ways those clans could work together 😛
