Story:
OceanClan was founded by Oceanstar, like ForestClan and MountainClan. Oceanstar and his followers were (reportedly) accustomed to living next to water. When the other Clans curled their lips at the land touching the swirling ocean, Oceanstar decided that this territory would be perfect for him and his cats.
OceanClan is known for their peacekeeping tendencies, causing them to be known as "soft" to the other Clans. They are also known for their powerful claws and jaws, and their thick, oily pelts. They hunger during leaf-bare, when all their prey has been frozen over, but have spent some time learning to hunt in the grassier areas of their territory.
OceanClan helped Flamestar create FlameClan, and contributed warriors to help defend them from ForestClan. Their warriors are stout and loyal.
Prey: Much like RiverClan, OceanClan hunts water-based prey - mainly fish. They have also learned how to hunt turtles, crabs, and other shellfish, but this prey is more difficult to come by.
Pelt Types: OceanClan pelts are notably vibrant colors - golds, torties, gingers, golden browns, etc. This is good for hunting fish, as most fish are attracted to bright colors - but it's not so good for hunting land-based prey. Their pelts are thick, oily, and shed water easily.
Borders: OceanClan shares the delta with ForestClan, and their border follows the river up and under the Moontree until it splits off into a shallower stream against the larger hills. OceanClan owns some small length of territory beyond that, but they don't often travel that way.
Relations: MountainClan and OceanClan do not get along - MountainClan values strength and skill, while OceanClan is more peaceful. MountainClan sees OceanClan as weak, and will do most anything to undermine them. FlameClan and OceanClan, while not formal allies, are friendly. ForestClan and OceanClan do not see eye-to-eye, but they agree that MountainClan is dangerous.

Important Figures:
- Oceanstar - blue-gray founder of OceanClan. A peaceful cat who didn't think twice to Foreststar taking half of the Valley. Advocated for peace and created parts of the warrior code that didn't deal with combat. Mountainstar's elder brother.
- Shellshine - silver tabby warrior of OceanClan who learned how to use her teeth and claws to crack open shellfish.
- Redbelly - dark ginger tom - first medicine cat of OceanClan. Followed the river delta to the Moontree, where the medicine cats commune with StarClan.
