Taking the role of The Danes, Shadowclan resides within the pine barrens in the northernmost part of Clan Territory. They are bordered by a Thunderpath to the west and south, which separate them from Windclan’s and Thunderclan’s territories respectively. To the north resides a small but deep river with an abandoned farm on the other side. This river runs to the western part of Shadowclan territory, where it feeds into a large marshland.
Cats with Shadowclan blood can be easily recognized by their large, soft paws and bright eyes that stand out against their famously dark pelts. They are often described as aloof and secretive, with a deep distrust for any cat outside of the clans. However, in the years since Mudstar’s death, Houndstar has worked to better their relations with the other Clans by fostering strong foundations of trust between them.

The following post contains every character within the Deadverse, with links being added as their bios go up. OCs will be marked with a * next to their names, while characters Derived From Canon (DFC) will have a • next to theirs.
This may be expanded to accommodate new topics as time goes on, but at the moment it will serve to answer some basic questions.
What is Beowarriors?
This blog was made in order to store and share my Beowulf x Warrior Cats crossover/rewrite/AU thing.
Beowulf is an Old English epic poem based on Germanic heroic legend. The full text can be found online in many different formats, though I recommend the original Old English.
Warrior Cats is an ongoing animal xenofiction series based on groups of feral cats living in the British countryside. It is written by a team collectively using the pseudonym of Erin Hunter.
Beowarriors is a crossover/rewrite/AU/thing that takes characters from the original epic, John Gardener’s prequel/partial retelling Grendel (1971), as well as a few original ones, and throws them into the world of Warrior Cats.
Who is Beowarriors?
@dragonlover56 , better known as Dead_House_Mouse and similar variations. I answer to the names Dead and Frog, and while I prefer They/Them pronouns, She/Her is ok. You can find more in-depth information in my Carrd. I should note that the only current public record of this AU was published under the name Roach.
Why does Beowarriors exist?
To put it simply, I do not like Beowulf. I think he’s an awful being who is wrongly painted as some sort of noble hero. This feeling only grew after reading John Gardener’s Grendel for the same class. This was during the height of my Warriors obsession, so I decided to catify the whole thing and write it to my liking. The moral of the story is that anger is an excellent motivator.
Which characters are derived from the original legend?
The Guide Can Be Found Here!
It should be noted that lots of changes have been made to the source material in order to get rid of some of the less savory things. A complete list may be released in the future if there is enough interest.
