RiverClan is one of the four Clans that live in the Forest and consider StarClan to be their warrior ancestors. They are known for their skill at fishing. They love beautiful things, and are known to collect rocks, shells, and feathers for their dens. They eat mainly fish, but also eat water voles, shrews, and mice. They are contented, sleek, well fed cats, with long groomed fur. They do not fear water.

Silverstream and Graystripe's secret relationship cause a long dispute between them, but was later resolved after a gruesome battle.
