Actually beat Tallstar in a fight?
I know he was a jerk and used his claws when he wasn't supposed to, but didn't he lose like every time?
I know there was once scene where Tallstar totally destroys him, but Tallstar had INTENSE ANGER on his side.
But before that, did Shrewclaw ever win?

I'm rereading Tallstar's Revenge right now. In the chapter where they learn battle moves Shrewpaw does initially beat Tallpaw a few times, until Tallpaw breaks routine and does an unexpected move. Shrewpaw complains that it's not fair, but their mentors are impressed. Tallpaw did lose when he was a mock-rabbit, but that was to Stagpaw, Ryepaw, and Doepaw.

Thanks  I can understand Shrewpaw beating Tallpaw when they first start training, he's been training 2-3 moons longer than him, which might not seem that long, but his training is basically half-way through when Tallpaw's began. It kind of makes me feel bad for Shrewclaw, he tries to talk and act all tough, but he really doesn't seem like he's got it. Or maybe Tallpaw is just a prodigy, but who knows? lol |

Or maybe Tallpaw is just a prodigy, but who knows? lol Rereading the book it's so interesting to see that Shrewclaw never really hated Tallstar. All his lines can be interpreted as being a general brat or some light banter, and Tallstar actually comes off really hotheaded. I really love this book due to how opinionated of a PoV Tallstar is, likewise with Crowfeather's Trial.
I definitely don't think Shrewclaw was ever that impressive of a guy. I always imagine Barkface as being quite a scrawny cat, and for his brother to look quite similar. His father, Redclaw, is also noted to be quite small.

I've always imagined Shrewclaw to be super tiny, his prefix is that of a very tiny animal, but Mousewhisker is named Mouse but he's HUGE. I still imagine Shrewclaw being tiny though. It's kind of funny, because I imagine Ryestalk being pretty buff like her brother lol I was shocked at how hot-headed Tallstar is, especially compared to the hippie he is now |

A man of wisdom derived from "experience", to say the least.
Oo i love a buff Ryestalk headcannon. Buff she-cats are just great overall.

Haha I can totally see that XD Agreed who else do you imagine being buff? I want to see a fight between hot tempered, great fighter Tallstar and Mudclaw, who is one of, if not the best fighter that WindClan has ever had. |

Definitely Star Flower (I just think she's an absolute unit of fluff and buff), Mapleshade, Ivypool (Lean but shredded), Poppyfrost (She and Berrynose are just huge), Mothwing/Tawnypelt/Goldenflower, Leafstar, Cloverfoot, and almost all of the DOTC settlers.
Also the majority of SkyClan cats just have absolutely thicc haunches to launch themselves up places.
I would absolutely have loved if the epilogue of Tallstar's revenge was Mudclaw decking him the moment he arrives in StarClan xD

Hahah XD I can imagine Poppyfrost as being pretty buff too. For some reason, I also imagine Brightheart as being really buff, not sure why, and Whitewing, not exactly buff, but bigger than Birchfall, who I imagine to be one of the smallest cats in ThunderClan. I also imagine Mothwing being really buff too LOL omg I would DIE from laughter if that happened. And like everytime Onestar does something against Firestar/ThunderClan, Mudclaw looks at Tallstar with his brow raised, like, "Really? You choose this guy over me?" |
