Cautionary Tale: several stories made up by the Clan
When his entire Clan of twnety-three others cats grew incredibly depressed and sick with greencough or pained with broken bones, Creaturefall took over every single duty.
He collected herbs and treated patients when others couldn’t, he made sure everyone had water while they were bed-ridden. He did all the hunting, rationing out the food. He took care of his mate and raised their kits while she was recovering from the illness.
Because of this, Creaturefall grew incredibly thin. He got weaker and weaker until he finally collapsed, exhausted. And his Clan, now healing, came to his aid to help him.
Creaturefall got older, fell in love with Cocoapuffpelt, and they had more kits. They raised them all together as one big family.
Harvesttooth, his best friend, was struggling with wanting kits but not wanting to have a mate. So, Creaturefall acted as her donor, and she raised the kits. CreatureFall became more of a cool uncle to them, and he even ended up having many great-grandchildren!
He retired before he became deputy, having watched the burden of leadership claim two leaders before him. He had already carried the Clan for years while the leaders couldn’t, and he wanted peace to play with his family.
Eventually, he was killed by rogues while he was collecting herbs with his mates.
Well, Creaturegall thought this was the end, and he would have peace in Starclan. He did--for about a year.
Bleeding Tooth fungi started growing on his grave. Rumours spread that he was in the Dark Forest, and his heart ached from Starclan. The mushroom would die, and this would go away. The hurtful tales would stop.
Bearfur always hated her kit, Rockkit. She never wanted him. When Rockkit was asking “too many” questions about the Clan, she snapped. She killed the kit, leaving his body by the mushroom and left.
It was assumed by the Clan that it was because of him! The Clan raged and complained, with the new Starclan residences even attacking him and chasing him over the Dark Forest border.
--Submission by @wills-woodland-warriors
--He’s one of their favourites!
--In their headcannon, in Starclan, you appear in your prime, so he looks like when he was younger, while he was providing for the Clan before he had kits.
--Bleeding Tooth mushrooms are considered a curse. The medicine cats could only argue so much in his favour, and a couple generations later they made up stories of him being a serial killer, a kit killer, a monster.
