History

In the Super Edition Arc

Tallstar's Revenge

This section needs expansion. You can help the Warriors Wiki by adding more info.

Shrewkit is first mentioned by his mother, Brackenwing, when Tallkit is going out of the nursery. Palebird calls out to Tallkit, telling him to be careful. Brackenwing soothes Palebird, promising her that Shrewkit and his brother, Barkkit would watch out for him.

Shrewkit is later seen playing with Tallkit and Barkkit. He suggests that he and Barkkit should show Tallkit the Hunting Stones in WindClan territory. Shrewkit comes up from behind Tallkit when he's talking with Reedfeather and Hawkheart. Reedfeather asks Shrewkit where he was showing Tallkit today. Shrewkit tells him that they were going to the Hunting Stones. Heatherstar tells the kits to be careful and warns them that the rocks might be icy and slippery. Hawkheart calls to them, telling them not to come mewling to him if they sprained a paw.

When Shrewkit, Barkkit and Tallkit start going towards the Hunting Rocks, Barkkit tells Shrewkit that he wants to play sliding in the hollow. Shrewkit disagrees, saying he wanted to go to the Hunting Rocks and scooped up some snow in his paw and flings it at Barkkit, but the wind snatches the flakes and tosses the snow back into Shrewkit's whiskers. Shrewkit sneezes and Barkkit sarcastically says that he looked scary. Shrewkit gets angry and launches himself onto Barkkit and the two kits roll in the grass. After the tussle, Shrewkit exclaims that Tallkit was blinking like he had just opened his eyes. Tallkit bristled and said that his father, Sandgorse, had said that Tallkit had opened his eyes faster than any kit in the nursery.

After that, Shrewkit says he was going to the Hunting Stones. Barkkit runs after him, and asks about sliding in the hollow. Shrewkit then says that there wasn't enough snow for real sliding. Barkkit teases him, saying he was scared. Shrewkit protests angrily.

Later, Shrewkit and Barkkit are seen at the Hunting Rocks when Tallkit joins them. Shrewkit leaps onto the highest stone and proclaims that he is the leader of the Hunting Rocks. Barkkit climbs onto the boulder beside him and says he's deputy. When Tallkit tries to climb onto one of the stones, Shrewkit teases him. He calls Tallkit "Wormkit" and says he should be tunneling underneath. When Tallkit says that wasn't his name, Shrewkit continues to taunt him, saying Tallkit would spend his life wriggling underground like a worm. Barkkit cheers Tallkit up, telling him to ignore Shrewkit.

Trivia

• Although family usually does not mentor family, Shrewclaw's mentor is his father in the allegiences of Bluestar's Prophecy, Crookedstar's Promise and Yellowfang's Secret. However, in Tallstar's Revenge, Hareflight is shown as Shrewclaw's mentor.
• Kate has said that Mudclaw could possibly be Shrewclaw's son.
• Shrewclaw is mistakenly once called by his apprentice name after becoming a warrior.
• Though becoming a warrior at the same time as Tallstar, he was shown as an apprentice in Yellowfang's Secret when Tallstar was a warrior.

Quotes

"But loyalty isn't rooted in friendship. It is much stronger than that. It comes from being born and raised under the same sky, from walking the same path as our ancestors, and from sharing the warrior code. With this life I commit you to upholding the warrior code, whatever challenges you might face. This is the wisdom of our ancestors, all our traditions distilled. Trust the code to lead you along the right path."

―Shrewclaw giving Talltail a life ^{Tallstar's Revenge}

"I don't understand. How can you leave? We trained together. I thought I'd always have you to hunt alongside."

―Shrewclaw to Talltail before he leaves ^{Tallstar's Revenge}
