Territory:
OceanClan territory is lush and green, with long grass and soft ground. The shoreline of the delta on the ForestClan side of their territory is sandy, and the delta itself is shallow in most places. On the ocean, the shore is soft and sandy, with the occasional shiny shell or stone. OceanClan cats know to watch out for these, as they can be sharp and slice open paw pads.
Seaweed and other debris (mostly salt-dried bits of wood) often wash up on shore near the cliff where OceanClan makes their camp. They use these to make nests or to decorate their dens.
Furry prey is not as plentiful as scaled prey, since OceanClan territory does not sport many trees. The stream that cuts OceanClan off from MountainClan is shallow, with a silt floor, and the two Clans often clash for a strip of hilly moorland on the other side.
Newleaf - in newleaf, floods in the delta and on the ocean shore are an issue. OceanClan must sometimes leave their camp in the cliff to avoid being flooded out. Precautions have been taken and safety measures are enforced to ensure that kits or elders are not swept away into the sea.
Greenleaf - in the height of greenleaf OceanClan warriors feast upon the fish in the delta and streams. Occasionally, they find turtles or small crustaceans. OceanClan do not go hungry this season.
Leaf-fall - similar to newleaf, cold temperatures and frequent rain often flood the camp. OceanClan are adept at keeping their cats safe from the tide.
Leaf-bare - OceanClan suffers most in leaf-bare, when snow and ice have covered their preferred food sources. It is at this time that they often try fighting for the strip of territory near MountainClan, which is more prey-rich in leaf-bare.
Camp:
OceanClan's camp is situated inside of a large cliff that hangs over the ocean, supported by pillars of salt-washed stone. Deep inside the cliff, hidden in its shadow, OceanClan sleeps with the sound of the water in their ears. A deep groove in the cave floor catches water when the tide rises or the sea floods, but even it cannot contain the sea when it overfills the cave. This leaves OceanClan with a surprising amount of space and a narrow passage from which cats can enter and leave.

Dens are shallow scoops in the floor, lined with feathers, moss, reeds, dried seaweed, and decorated often with shells and driftwood. The warrior's den (1, red-orange) is nearest the entrance, facing the elder's den (3, blue) and nursery (2, sky blue) on the other side. The nursery is tucked into a cleft in the cave, quiet and safe. Similarly, the medicine cat's den (5, light green) is nearby, in another cave. The apprentice's den (4, yellow) is beside the warrior's den, and, in the middle, is the leader's den in a separate cave.
The leader addresses his Clan for ceremonies on the cliff above their cave (bearing in mind the weather), which they call Great Cliff (7, green). In bad weather, the Clan leader will hold Clan meetings inside.
Skills:
OceanClan is the only Clan who chooses to sample the food of the waters around them - as such, their hunting techniques are unique. These cats are known for their patience in the face of danger.
Pelts of the OceanClan warriors shed water like duck feathers, and are always carefully groomed. They often smell of sand and water and fish, which is not a pleasant smell to most cats. Their claws are long and hooked, perfect for catching fish.
Though OceanClan is arguably the most pacifistic Clan, because of the fact that they are strong swimmers OceanClan sports some of the most powerful warriors (they are the only Clan to stand toe-to-toe with MountainClan in one-on-one combat). Their combat techniques, while not widely used, rely on their power and elegance to defeat their foes and defend their Clan.
