Large Raptors

• Specialty Tactic – Frequently taught in WindClan, Sometimes taught in RiverClan and ShadowClan, Rarely taught in ThunderClan

Large raptors such as hawks and falcons are an extreme challenge to tackle, and require either ambushing the bird on the ground after it has caught prey of its own or managing to turn an attack by the hawk or falcon on oneself into an attack on the bird. They are very dangerous prey, but taking one down means that there is one less hawk or falcon stalking the young of the clan, making the undertaking valuable in two ways.

Rats are tenacious fighters for their size and to be approached with caution while hunting as they possess teeth that carry diseases with their bites. Care must be taken to avoid being badly bitten and ending up with a deep infection in the puncture wounds they leave behind.
