Story:
MountainClan has been known to be at the bottom of most troubles in the Valley. In the beginning, Mountainstar fought Foreststar for the right to hunt in the lush forests - and he fought his own brother, Oceanstar, for the prey-rich streams. He was defeated, however - his powerful warriors had been outnumbered and overwhelmed.
From then on, MountainClan has been known to take no commands from anyone - not even StarClan, some suspect. MountainClan clearly thought the separation of FlameClan and ForestClan as a sign of weakness, and attacked FlameClan in an attempt to take their territory. OceanClan, however, stopped them once again.
MountainClan lives high in the peaks of the Valley, plotting their next move. What it is, no one knows...
Prey: MountainClan, like the Tribe of Rushing Water, live high in the mountains. They hunt birds, rabbits, and the occasional squirrel. Rumor has it that they have even eaten fox before, though no Clan knows if it's true. They are strong enough to bring down larger birds, and claim that chicks are a delicacy. Though they have hard times in leaf-bare, they do not show it.
Pelt Types: MountainClan lives among the stones and rocks of the mountains, meaning that their pelts are less marked than other Clans - less vibrant, too. Mottled, marbled, and pale, these cats' pelts usually range from black to pale gray, and from dark brown to light brown. There isn't much variation - a ginger or white cat here and there - but there's no denying the raw strength in their limbs.
Borders: MountainClan takes up the last fourth of the Valley, between FlameClan and OceanClan. They take a waterfall as their border with FlameClan and a stream is their border with OceanClan, allowing them plenty of room to range amongst the cliffs and peaks of their territory.
Relations: MountainClan has never been friends or allies with the other Clans - they have been mostly neutral with ForestClan; think FlameClan is weak; and think OceanClan is weaker still. MountainClan, if it were to attack another Clan, it would be OceanClan. Even though they often suffer losses, this proud Clan does not ask for help unless circumstances are most dire.

Important Figures:
- Mountainstar - dark gray brother to Oceanstar and founder of MountainClan. He was known for his thirst for battle and creating the battle-oriented parts of the warrior code. It is said that he only cared for one thing - his kits.
- Hawktalon - dark brown tabby mate and deputy to Mountainstar, known for her ferocity in battle. She gave birth to three kits, whose blood is said to still run within MountainClan to this day.
- Highstone - pale brown warrior-turned-medicine cat. Known for having a love affair with a FlameClan warrior, and though his leader wanted him exiled he was turned into MountainClan's medicine cat. A rule was then made preventing not only medicine cats from mating, but preventing Clan-to-Clan courtships as well.
