"Snaketail is a dark brown tom with a tabby-striped tail and a gray-flecked chin."

Tail inspired by a Russian rat snake

Snaketail! He is a Shadowclan cat who appears in Power of Three and Omen of the Stars and then kinda just dissapears. He is Scorchfur's Mentor in Eclipse, and gets really attached to Sol when he takes over Shadowclan. He's on a Shadowclan boarder patrol that catches hazeltail and Hollyleaf nearly chasing a squirrel accross the boarder, that becomes plot relevant when he provokes a fight with Birchfall by saying that Sol talks sense, that maybe Thunderclan should learn to fight its' own battles, and that maybe the vanishing sun meant the time for clans is over altogether and Thunderclan is too cowardly to face that. It's implied in supplemental materials that he's a very battle eager cat, and cares most about strategy and advantages, a trait he seems to pass down to his apprentice Scorchfur. As an aside, I've always found it funny that he was added to shadowclan just a year after another Snaketail appeared in Firestar's Quest as an ancient Shadowclan deputy in the allegiances of that book, almost as if the authors were sad that they wasted such a good name on a cat that doesn't really exist for more than just a mention, and made a new one in modern times to make up for it. No known relatives, There's also no confirmation that he's died, but he was an elder in the Great Battle so surely he has passed somewhere between then and the Starless Clan arc, but Oakfur's still kicking so who knows really.
