    Okay, I agree, Hawkfrost didn't do much. WHEN HE WAS ALIVE. When he was dead he gathered most of the cats for the dark forest, he trained cats to be evil, way more than Tigerstar did.

    I love Darktail, though I hate his backstory and that he has no good motive to destroy the clans.
    But, he is clever and ruthless. He was able to lure SkyClan cats on journeys to kill them. He led raccoons to the gorge to attack SkyClan. Then he and his Kin killed 6 cats (I think) driving SkyClan out of the gorge. He nearly destroyed SkyClan altogether. Then, when he gets to the lake, he is able to use ShadowClan's internal turmoil to get almost ShadowClan cat to join him. He is able to manipulate Onestar, getting him to retreat, allowing Darktail to win a battle and heavily wound RiverClan. Next, he goes and conquers RiverClan, killing five riverclan warriors and taking four prisoner. Taking the prisoners was genius because it made Mistystar not fight until they were freed, keeping RiverClan out of the battle. He also didn't hesitate the ShadowClan cats that ran away and other traitors.
    Basically, he nearly destroyed SkyClan, annexed ShadowClan, and conquered RiverClan. He defeated 3 out of 5 clans.
    I also enjoy a change of pace from villains in recent years who have good motives and reasons to Darktail just being pure evil.

    • @legrandliseurtri7495

      Keeping the hurt riverclan cats prisonners wasn't a bad idea, but I think he should have limited himself to one hostage and avoid mistreating him or her. Petty acts of cruelty like sending kittypets into the battle first should have been avoided too. More shadowclan cats would have been willing to stay with him if he had controlled himself. Probably could have won him the war, really.

      To be honest, Spottedleaf was a short lived character, and things would have been weird if Firestar was there in Starclan with SpottedLeaf AND Sandstorm. He loves them both and they both love him. Who knows what would have happened. Also, at least she died a honourable death by saving Sandstorm. She's much more interesting this way than if she just faded out like how spirits do when they are forgotten.

    It hurts seeing four of these cats listed in here. I remember young 8-grader me reading The new prophecy and Power of three for the first time back in like 2014-ish and i was thinking "Brambleclaw is such a good cat, hes my favorite. Oh! Hollypaw/leaf is good too, now shes my favorite cat!" and of course me denying that Ashfur is actually evil and love to believe that he was blinded by his love with squirrelflight. And then i got into DotC and GrayWing became my new favorite cat (hes my favorite to this day) The other cat is Breezepelt bc i loved to think he was just a mini Crowpaw

    Right now I gotta say darktail. He's really powerful and did more than ANY cat in the entire series. Even more than mapleshade did. Mapleshade killed cats, not take over and destroy clans and make them scatter to another area. Mapleshade is my least favorite because she's loved, but she only killed a few cats.

    I’m just gonna tell you, look at ashfur and “BrabmleStar” next to eachother. They are both giving that evil side smile, and also, it fits together why he would be the villain, he hates squirrelflight and would do anything to get back at her, also he could be there just to spite thunderclan and make them look like some weird version of shadowclan. It would make sense that he’s the one inside of Bramblestar, because one he wouldn’t really treat squirrelflight like how he does on the broken code and 2 it just makes sense.

    Finally, someone who doesn't instantly say Mapleshade is the worst villain! I totally expected to see her name somewhere in the double-digits, and when the numbers climbed higher and higher without seeing her name I was so relieved! Mapleshade might have had one of the most annoying and stupid backstories (where the warrior code is wack and all the leaders are blocks of ice like come on banishment for a simple FBL???), but she contributed majorly to the story and development of characters. Personally, I think she is an amazing villain, and I politely disagree with those who say she's awful.

    Personally, my favorite villain does have to be Mapleshade.
    Shes psychotic, very possessive, very manipulative, and she is literally the big reason why the cats in the dark forest are as strong and powerful as they are.
    Idk, I just love me some psychotic, manipulative, and possessive Villians. I think she takes the cake for most evilest villain in my opinion, because she is also very witty and smart. Like, she didn't even hesitate to complete her vengeance. And considering how everyone in the warrior cat fandom literally feels bad for her shows how easily she can manipulate people into feeling bad for her! You know a villain is very evil(or at least very manipulative) when they can even make the reader feel sorry for them.

      I love mapleshade’s vengance. Her clan did her so wrong. She was banished from Thunderclan, and she went to Riverclan, only for her kids to drown. So, she gets revenge because she thinks she needs to do it to set her kids free. I love the plot, but I don’t really like crookedstar’s promise. I love her in Goosefeather’s curse though.

    that's actually what I was thinking at 5:31 since Ashfur loved Squirrelflight, and spends all of his time with her in the first half in the book, and then when he suddenly turns on her, it's like he's reminded of the pain he suffered when he got "Friend zoned"
    I also think maybe Sol is the imposter, although maybe not that likely since last time we saw him he was alive.
    Or it could be Darktail, or a Dark Forest cat that didn't die in the Great Battle.
    and of course there's always a chance its just a totally new character but I think most of these characters are the most likely, except Sol is pretty unlikely
    also I agree sometimes actual Brambelstar was a total villian

Just the way she seems so... just kinda like sol in my opinion I dunno why. I just love her XD
    But my least fav is Bramblestar (not the imposter) tbh. I hate the way he treats my fav character (that is not villain) aka Squirrelflight, and how he rlly is not that stuck to his character of a calm and smart leader. I know it’s bc he is angry, but I expected his anger to be more subtle and more just make his and Squirrelflight’s relationship subtlety miserable instead of destroying it, and to have it not be on purpose.

    I genuinely thought Darktail and Tigerstar were holding tails in the first couple of seconds and was concerned for Akira's shipping habits....

    In terms of raw impact on the series, Tigerstar is iconic. But in terms of making the best with the limited time given... I really love Scourge, and not for the standard "oh he has an angsty past" reasons.
    It would have been easy for Scourge to devolve into a cop-out antagonist. There was so much tension leading up to Tigerstar and Firestar's epic confrontation, and reading The Darkest Hour for the first time, I was completely blindsided by the twist. But it worked INCREDIBLY well, because Scourge is thematically perfect for the climax of both character's arcs in the first six books.
    Tigerstar's greatest flaw was always his arrogance and sense of entitlement. He is a strong warrior who makes tough choices; therefore, he deserves to rule, and anyone who gets in his way needs to be destroyed. He also displays a deep disdain for kittypets, half-Clan cats, and anyone who doesn't fit his conception of what a Clan warrior should be.
    When he enlists Scourge to help him conquer the forest, it highlights all of these flaws and punishes him for them. He attacks Scourge in a fit of rage and betrayal, and it proves to be his final living mistake. In the end, Tigerstar dies not in glorious combat with his arch-nemesis Firestar, but slowly and painfully, brought down by the keystone of his own scheme. His belief that he was greater than others--and certainly greater than a former kittypet-- was directly responsible for his demise. The scene where he loses his nine lives, bleeding out on the grass beneath Fourtrees, solidifies Tigerstar as a failed dictator and Scourge as a terrifying new challenge. Both characters are enriched by this interaction.
    As for Firestar, he has always grappled with outside prejudice and inner anxiety, and this new threat calls that to the forefront in more ways than one. Scourge represents all the bloodthirst and greed that the warrior code is meant to discourage, and if he is victorious, Firestar will lose the home he fought so hard to carve out a place in. To make matters worse, Scourge is also a former kittypet, and therefore represents the unseen cruelty of Firestar's former world. By defeating him, Firestar is not only saving his newfound family, but conquering the worst parts of his past once and for all. Despite having barely known Scourge, it is a deeply personal victory, for it proves that his honor and courage is the equal of any Clan-born cat's. It is not where a cat comes from, but *who they choose to be* that shapes their legacy.
    Characters are not isolated singularities, but threads in an interconnected web of story. They support, tug on, reflect, and shape one another's paths, and if woven carefully, they amplify each other's magnificence. Scourge is a serviceable character by himself, but it is his role in showing other characters their own darkest demons that elevates him to one of the greatest villains in the entire Warriors canon.
    And to think, he accomplished all this in less than half of a book.

    For a second, I thought he was talking about The Kin. That made me wonder how cool it would've been if Sol returned alongside Darktail. Two grudgey bois originating from Skyclan that send Shadowclan to ruins.
