CW: Violence, blood, character death​
‪@galaxymew‬ Gave me the idea with the song, and I was inspired to whip this out in a week :D What fun!
This is an animatic for the Clangen story that Galaxy and I created on stream, which we are now calling Foxtide after our two Clans. You can see how this animatic came to be by watching us play the Warrior Cats Sim game Clangen!
• Let's Play Clangen wit...
This is the backstory of Foxtide's main antagonist, Molemoon, the ex-leader of FoxClan. During his time as Molestar, his daughter Pearlkit became deathly ill - the only cure was a type of seaweed that grew on the rival TideClan's territory. So Molestar launched an attack on TideClan to steal the cure.
During this battle, a TideClan warrior named Stripestrike accidentally killed Molestar's mate Nettleflower. And when FoxClan was driven back and returned home, Molestar arrived at camp to find his daughter had passed away while they were fighting.
Overcome with rage and grief, Molestar blamed TideClan for the deaths of his mate and daughter, and vowed revenge. Unable to spur the weakened FoxClan into an all out war, he instead decided to give up his leadership and 9 lives, and left FoxClan. Now going by his warrior name Molemoon, he infiltrated TideClan with the hope of destroying it from within.
In his time with TideClan, he grew close to a kit named Nacrekit, who had the same blue eyes as his daughter. He became her mentor when she was 6 moons old. He pulled her into his attempts at a coup, hoping to overthrow TideClan's leader - but the conspiracy was discovered. A fight broke out at the top of the cliffs, and it was Stripestrike who killed Molemoon by knocking him off the cliff onto the rocks below.
His hunger for revenge, both against TideClan and against FoxClan for "abandoning" him, persisted long after his death however. Cats began reporting glimpses of the ex-leader hovering at the edge of FoxClan territory, or sneaking into the dreams of Nacrepaw and others...
We'll be streaming again on Saturday, so come hang out with Galaxy and I as we figure out more of how Molemoon wreaks havoc on the coastal clans!
