Foe Yay has been cut


* AbandonShip: Northstar/Silverstar had quite a few fans thanks to the FoeYay. [[spoiler:And then it was revealed they’re uncle and niece.]] Cue people jumping off in droves.

* CompleteMonster: Blight is a savage, smug cat from [=TalonClan=], initially introduced as a seemingly charming scout for Slaughter. However, he quickly proves himself monstrous when he [[spoiler:kidnaps, starves, abuses, and [[MindRape mentally tortures]] Belladonna until she suffers a LossOfIdentity, remolding her into a [[StockholmSyndrome terrified but loving minion]] whom he addresses with the derogative ‘pet’. When Nightshade (as he calls her) forms a friendship with Minnow, he plans to repeat the process with her, and only fails because Nightshade rescues her friend.]] He dies gleeful and unrepentant, going straight to the Dark Forest. In ''Chilled'', [[spoiler:he’s willing to sacrifice Sootsky to escape, giving no care to the fact she’s his daughter, and frequently goes out of his way to make her uncomfortable. He also reveals that Nightshade was not the first cat he broke and abused, just the first that survived. And unlike those who repent (like Chillpaw, Shrew, Swiftshadow, and Nettlefrost) or who simply want to start over (Brightstar and Dapplefern), Blight shows absolutely no remorse for what he’s doing, and plans to pick up his abusive, murderous ways the moment he comes back to life.]] A self-centered, sadistic sociopath, Blight holds no love for anyone but himself and devotes both life and unlife to destroying others.

* MagnificentBastard:
** Northstar, rather than murdering his father himself, instead carefully arranges a series of [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident accidents]] that never cast blame upon him. When he realizes the forest-sickness was spreading through his enemies' camps, he either hoards or destroys all available cures so it would cripple them. And then, at their weakest point, he swoops in to recruit the desperate and kill the rest. In less than a season, he's assimilated all four Clans into his own, and it's only the machinations of another MagnificentBastard that put him down.
** Crowtalon/Slaughter. Happens to spot Northstar overseeing one of his father's 'accidents'. Decides to wait on this information until just the right moment. Lets Northstar do all the hard work of assimilating the other Clans. As soon as Northstar leaves to get his nine lives granted, calls the Clans together, spills the beans on Northstar's crimes, and successfully sways them to his side while Northstar has no chance of defending himself . In short, it takes him ''one day'' to overthrow everything Northstar built.


* CounterpartComparison: Belladonna can be compared to [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Theon Greyjoy]], both being proud and attractive people who [[spoiler:undergo terrible MindRape and LossOfIdentity, simultaneously fear and love their abuser, and slowly work towards atonement and reclaiming their identity after an encounter with AFriendInNeed. They are both also indirectly responsible for the death of their best friend, a redhead whose name starts with ‘R’.]]

* StrangledByTheRedString: [[spoiler:Rook]]/Sootpaw. While it's understandable that she might want to [[spoiler:move on after Chillpaw died, one would expect a mourning period of ''more than a week''. But instead, less than that passes before she starts thinking about him romantically, and within only a chapter or two (of her POV) of Chillpaw dying.]] The author tries to mitigate this by [[spoiler:showing she still misses Chillpaw and putting a TimeSkip at the end]], but it still leaves a bad taste in some's mouths that [[spoiler:she starts thinking about another tom that way, that quickly.]]

Brightfire.
* FanPreferredCouple: [[spoiler:Chillpaw]]/Sootpaw is vastly preferred over [[spoiler:Rook]]/Sootpaw. [[spoiler:A lot of fans were mad that Chillpaw stayed dead and would rather that his reincarnation remember her, eventually getting back together, instead of her moving on to the much-older Rook.]]
* FanonDiscontinuity: Many fans prefer to imagine [[spoiler:that Chillpaw's reincarnation, Icekit, either retains all Chillpaw's memories/personality or eventually recovers them, instead of him being DeaderThanDead, and gets back together with Sootsky.]]
* GhostShipping: [[spoiler:Chillpaw]]/Sootpaw. [[spoiler:And it’s canon, too, [[DeaderThanDead for a while]].]]

Please present all Complete Monster candidates in this thread.


* CompleteMonster:
** Frozenstar decided to destroy the other Clans for no reason, created a way to MindRape she-cats out of boredom, had no care for his warriors, and forced [[spoiler: his daughter to give up one of her kits just so that she could experience the pain of loss]]. Ouch.
** Crowtalon[=/=]Slaughter worked with Blight to perfect Frozenstar's method of MindRape, ordered random executions of his warriors just because he could, decided to destroy the warrior code, and [[spoiler: mercilessly kills his own daughter when she fails a mission he gave her.]]
** The fact that Blight perfected the method of [[MindRape mind raping]] she-cats, and his use of it on [[spoiler: Belladonna and Minnow]] puts him here without even needing the heinous acts of the other two.
