The tough and resilient

Clan name:
Previously called Oakclan in the old forest, the clans new territory is often cloaked in shadows from the mountains, giving the clan it's name, Darkclan.

The cats: The cats of Darkclan are stockier and longer haired than the cats of the other clans. Heavier built than cats of the other clans, Darkclan uses their weight to their advantage when fighting, tackling their targets to the ground and pinning them as they scratch and bite. The cats of Darkclan are ambush hunters lying in wait in a bush or tree for unsuspecting prey, this way the cats use little energy and make less noise that may draw the attention of larger predators. The cats of Darkclan are known to be fiercly dedicated to the Warrior code.

The territory and camp: The Darkclan territory is made up of thick forest and steep rocky terrain. The shade that almost constantly cloaks the territory makes it cooler than the other clan areas, an added advantage in greenleaf but a disadvantage in the cold leafbare. Thick with trees and bushes their are plenty of places for the cats to lie in wait for prey or hide from larger predators. The water in this territory is run off from the melted snow higher in the mountains that forms into a slow stream. Many varieties of herbs grow here, but not in large quantities. Darkclan's camp is located in the forest hollow surrounded by the densest trees and bushes. A large boulder serves as the clan's high rock. Next to it is a small cluster of rocks which is the medicine cat's den. A few tail lengthes to the side of the medicine cat's den is the leader's den in an old stump. A short distance from it is the stump's hollow log which serves as the elder's den. Across the hollow under a couple of large bushes are the warrior's and apprentice's dens. Directly across from the highrock, a few fox lengths from the warrior and apprentice dens is a tree with a den dug out among the roots which serves as the nursery.

Pros:
~Usually constant shade from the sun.
~Variety of herbs and prey.
~Little to no threats from the other clans.

Cons:
~Because the territory is usually shaded from the sun it takes a while for snow from leafbare to melt in newleaf.
~Cats can be killed by bears, foxes, and mountain lions that also share the territory.
~Territory is hit hardest from leafbare snow storms.
~Twolegs trail hike and camp in the territory during greenleaf.

Prey: Voles, mice, birds, squirrels, moles, shews, rabbits

Clan confrontations: With the thunderpath blocking most crossing attempts from the other clans Darkclan has very little worry of them. The clans main confrontations are sharing their territory with foxes, and the occassional bear or mountain lion.
