In DreamClan’s story, CanyonClan (the other main clan over the river) is settled in the cliff like ridges surrounding an arid valley. Despite these harsh conditions, CanyonClan thrives with the reliance of a dense, magical tree sap littering the canyons.

However, shortly after the Rat Queen was destroyed, a new problem emerged. A group of rogues stole an abundance of the tree sap for their own safety, putting CanyonClan at risk of illness and starvation. Sweetstar (the leader of CanyonClan) sent a messenger to DreamClan requesting help. Skullstar receives this message and sends DreamClan out to assist the other clan with their misfortune. What Sweetstar neglected to mention was that there was an added danger lurking around the territory; a giant monster with a voracious appetite.

Crocfang’s mother may or may not be revealed later, as I am undecided on how important she will be to the story. As mentioned in Crocfang’s notes, he was born in the dream world, and that is because his mother was expecting kits when she became trapped. His litter isn’t the first or only cats to be born in the dream world, but his family is the most notable in the story as of now. Croc has no memory of the outside world, and the dream world is all he has ever known. As a kit, he was told stories of his mother’s upbringing and the world beyond the dream, but he never seemed to care about escaping.
