The Warriors universe centers around a large group of feral cats who initially reside in a forest, and later, around a lake. The cats are split into five groups called Clans: ThunderClan, WindClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, and SkyClan (the latter of whom was a late addition to the series). Each Clan has adapted to its own terrain. Relationships between different Clans are usually tense and they often come into conflict with one another. However, the Clans also sometimes show concern for each other; the idea of one Clan being destroyed usually causes deep distress and prompts urgent action on behalf of all Clans. The Clans have a unique naming and hierarchy system, in that their names are generally determined by their rank in the Clan. Warriors Tigerstar & Sasha #1: Into the Woods.

The large number of characters involved in the series has often been seen as a negative point; though one reviewer compared the "huge cast" to that of a Greek drama, [62] others wrote that it was "hard to follow" [63] and "a little confusing". [57] The characters have also been criticized as being "somewhat flat" [63] and "limited essentially to each individual's function within the Clan."

Warriors graphic novels [ ] The Warriors graphic novels, formerly called the mangas, are illustrated stories from the Warriors series. They are written by Dan Jolley, [25] and are illustrated by James Barry, [25] Bettina Kurkoski, [26] and Don Hudson. [27] The graphic novels were formerly printed in grayscale and divided into three issues. In 2017, Graystripe's Adventure was reprinted in full color with all three issues in one volume. The other arcs he illustrated, Ravenpaw's Path, SkyClan and the Stranger, and The Rise of Scourge were also later released in full color. Starting with A Shadow in RiverClan, the graphic novels were originally published in color. In 2024, a rendition of The Prophecies Begin was released in a serialized graphic novel arc. Graystripe's Adventure [ ] On 20 October 2016, Victoria Holmes announced that Alibaba Pictures had bought the production rights for a film adaptation with David Heyman as producer, and a movie poster was released. On 14 May 2018, it was announced that STX Entertainment had come on board to co-produce the Warriors film, with STX board member Gigi Pritzker working alongside Heyman. It was also announced that screenwriters Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger would write the screenplay for the movie. [96] [97] Short stories [ edit ]Hunter, Erin.

Cats who live outside of the Clans are categorized into three groups: housecats, referred to as "kittypets" by Clan cats, who are looked down upon for their cozy and lazy lifestyle; "loners", who are cats who live outside of the Clans, usually by themselves; and "rogues", cats who live on their own and intend to do harm to the Clans. In some instances, stray cats may form large groups of their own. It is rare for a stray cat to join a Clan, as outsiders are generally distrusted and scorned by Clan cats. Written by several authors under the pseudonym of Erin Hunter, there are over 40 Warrior Cats books in the universe. Warriors began with The Prophecies Begin series which follows the adventures of the ThunderClan as epic battles for territory and honour are played out amongst the wild cats.
