ThornClan cats are undoubtedly the toughest cats in the Valley, given their terrain. Their territory is filled with thorny rose bushes and bramble, making it the least ideal battleground for the other Clans. However, the ThornClan cats have very thick fur, protecting them from scratches. Because of this, in battle, ThornClan lures opponents onto their territory. ThornClan cats also have extremely sharp teeth, for the prey in their hunting grounds also have very thick skin.
