I like the idea of them going to Starclan even after they were infected; it's a good relief but also sad that they can only watch their lifeless body rip and eat their friends and families.
We are not talking about Jayfeather and Lionblaze enough. Id argue and say its the most horrifying and grotesque mutation. Imagine trying to help a friend only to start fusing and mutating with your brother. Two heads, one eye, hundreds of teeth. Although they were only on screen for a bit, the animation on them is insane!
They weren’t even helping a friend, they were helping their kin, making it even more horrifying. Trying to help a family member out, only to be fused with another one
I'm not someone who gets scared easily but cartoon/animated horror but HOLY SHIT- Hawkfrost's design is genuinely terrifying! Also I feel bad for that brown cat at the end he was literally pleading for mercy but they still killed him anyway aaa this MAP is so good I love it!
Bramblestar (here named Brambleclaw) was Hawkfost's sibling (they have the same father, but not the same mother). And Brambleclaw has killed Hawkfost at the beginning of this MAP, so I don't think infected Hawkfost has to be good to him. PD: I don't mean you can't feel bad about Brambleclaw
I love how this differs from a lot of other infection AUs and decided to change how exactly the infection works. The way those infected don’t just degrade but also transform into different distorted versions of themselves is something I haven’t seen before. I love how it spreads like it has roots too it’s such a cool visualization of disease spreading. The fact cats go to starclan despite their bodies still being alive is so eerie and terrifying to me and I love it. Imagine being forced to watch from above as your body goes on a violent rampage hurting those you love. You can’t do anything to stop it and can only be grateful you aren’t in your body and capable of feeling it contort and change shape. Overall this is probably my favorite horror MAP and everyone who worked on it did an incredible job. It successfully creeped the hell out of me.
This entire MAP is a thing of beauty but I want to give a special shoutout to whoever worked on the Squirrelflight's transformation at 5:25, there's so many detailed frames for something that's over in about three seconds! That's some serious dedication and I want to encourage everyone to frame-by-frame it if they won't get too spooked, it's amazingly well done.
This is SO COOL! This is the scariest MAP I've ever seen. The distortion, the haunting looks- oh my god. This is literal nightmare fuel in the best way possible. Just the stiff movements & how they all creep in at the end. The fact that no one is safe, & these cats (things) really don't feel anything, including remorse. Seeing Bramble beg was comedic for a moment, but when you really think about it, that's horrifying; to be trapped & having to wait to die at the paws of what used to be clanmates. Extremely dark, & a really interesting/creative idea! Every single artist did AN INCREDIBLE JOB!! Great job, Funky, & all the participants! I hope you all have a lovely day. ^^
I really love Dovewings and Squirrelflights design, both before and after infection, I love how tiny Squirlf compared to Dovewing.. and Dovewings infected design looks so cute with the mouse/rat in her mouth especially at 3:13 Everyone did such an amazing job on this map, I love the uncanny creepiness
The MLP infection stuff I always found very interesting but never really got into as i'm not a huge MLP fan BUT THIS!! This is about to become my whole ass personality for at LEAST 6 months. Absolutly incredible work, Character design and animation goals honestly!
Genuinely got goosebumps watching this. best scare I've gotten from a map in a long time!! the part where dovewing started turning and was vomiting was so gruesome and well animated, and poor bramble trying to wish the infected away was super dark
AAAAAH THIS MAP IS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD!!! This has gotta be the most disturbing MAP I've seen this Halloween week, every animator frickin rocked. Especially those who had parts with the infected designs, they animated them so well. For exapmle: Lion + Jay- DAMN!!! These designs are also done so well so creative!!! My favorite part though has got to be BRAMBLE PRAYING LMAO 4:30
0:44 okay, so he's still retainin' some sorta injury, makes sense he'd limp a bit... 0:46 oh...yeah he's not lookin good, gotta lift that paw more-- 0:49 NOPE NOTHING SHOULD BE WALKING LIKE THAT, WE NEED AN OLD PRIEST AND A YOUNG PRIEST. THE POWER OF CAT-CHRIST COMPELLS YOU! *pulls out spray bottle*
Cat christ and spray bottle make me laugh so hard- my god. But that concept is making me afraid of my own cat- she is immune to the spray bottle. Is she even stronger than cat christ?
I have been waiting for this MAP to release since the map call first released, and honestly, this was SO worth the wait! I’ve been super excited for this map for the long 8 months, and it means so much to me that it finally released. Every part is super amazing, the lighting in the dark forest parts are stunning, and the infected cast looks very spooky. I also love Firestar and Dovewing’s design. Every single person who worked on this map deserves a HUGE pat in the back, all the parts are stunning. I’m so proud of everyone who worked on this.
This is honestly one of my favorite Warriors MAPs now. Everyone did such a phenomenal job!! Making cartoon cats scary can be difficult, but these designs are some of the creepiest and most well-done I've stumbled across. The way they move is so haunting and jarring. I keep rewatching this MAP bc I love it sm lol
5:32 ah.. so we meet again with the staring huh? I SAID I AINT GOT ANY MONEY!(the artists did so good!!! I’m so happy this map came out!!! Everyone did so awesome and scary!!!)
I love when people don't "pretty up" things - creatures etc and make it uglier and uglier to creep someone out... like comparing this to horrors nowadays, how am I supposed to be scared of some silly flashy colored mascot... this map is way better than most of the horrors nowadays, plus I think it'd be cool idea if cats from the dark forest were twisted in all directions and not just cats after death looking normally... but yeah, anyway, great work!!
Im not usually someone who gets uneasy or spooked at stuff like this but jeez this made me feel so uneasy, good job to all of the animators in this project
the initial of hawkfrost's transformation was abosolutely chilling. Reminds me of the analog series Vita Carnis (I recommend it for anyone who likes this type of infection based horror :) I stumbled across this map randomly a little while ago but I'm so glad I did. Truly incredible work, all the participants are so talented.
Oh wow- as someone who has a fear of vomiting (not intense it just makes me uncomfortable) AND a fear of distorted faces this really got me- all the artists did a wonderful job and this was just insane!! Worth the 8 month wait for this masterpiece, and the timing for Halloween was perfect!

@ it looks like the light shines kinda at sand and not at cinder what makes her look more black but she still has these gray and holly has black. It would too just don’t make sense
gosh, this brings me back to the It's Alright and Starless Night maps, honorable WC projects that also unnerved me goods! I especially love seeing how different artists animate body horror and disturbing imagery. It also adds to the uncomfy factor when Hawfrost looks *slightly* different everytime you look at him.
Of all the gory maps I have seen, this one takes the cake! Absolutely incredible work by the artists, now I just have to hope I don’t get any nightmares from this experience. I want a sequel
Holy starclan I loved the aspect of this so much The walk cycles up to the art was amazing!! (Just wanted to point out I rlly liked 4:30 because of the gestures!)
oh my gosh, watching this map gradually come together was an ABSOLUTE BLAST!! everything came out so creepy and awesome and ALL THE PARTICIPANTS DID OUTSTANDING WORK!!!
Genuinely one of the most disturbing warriors maps I think I've ever seen. The artists did an incredible job capturing that uncanny feeling with the way these things move and twitch about. Also my god, that scene with dovewing just throwing up blood/infection and stopping to clutch at her own head?? Haunting.
WOW! This is the most creepy MAP I’ve ever seen! Even gave me the willies more than “Closer” “Mr Fear” and “The Pumpkin Song” I’m actually hiding in the comments rn 😭 if you wanted to be evil, instead of a black screen as the ending frame it should’ve been that cat monster staring at the screen… that way it stares even after the video ends LMAO
Gosh this is such a unique concept and I really do like how simple yet uncanny the designs are, they definitely make me feel uneasy! Well done to everyone who brought this project to life
Ok so there body are like husk, Vessels; Not the actual cat. For the dark forest it seem the black shapes is how they look now. Also the husks becoming canibals is something. So for the questions 1. Who escaped, did anyone escape or did they all got caught? 2. How will the clans recover, will they recover? 3. Is there a cure to the infection? 4. Is there a part 2 for this? Am so exited for what you do next man if you read this far thx -game theory fan and young artist Crystal (not real name)
1) We'll find out in the next map...EEHEEHEE... 2) As for now, all the clans are completely doomed 😭 3) The cure is up to Starclan! They are the ones who created the infection to punish the Dark Forest 4) THERE WILL BE A PART TWO!
By far the scariest Halloween map I’ve ever seen in this fandom. Great job to all the animators, as well as the thumbnail artists and the genius who wrote this script!
oh my god.. this is even better than i thought it would be.. ive been waiting for this for so long and its SO GOOD.. especially dovewing getting infected? geez, its just SO WELL DONE.
BROOOOO THIS CAME OUT SO GOOD EVERYBODY DID SUCH A NICE JOB, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THE STORYBOARD WAS UPLOADED AND IM NOT DISAPPOINTED, THE STORYBOARD ITSELD WAS SO GOOD THAT I COULDNT WAIT, GOOD JOB EVERYONE
THANK YOU FUNKY FOR LETTING PARTICIPANT IN THIS MAP!! Im a big fan of analog horror and creepy wacky designs!! This MAP is for sure gonna be a hit for years to come!! 😈💖
what an absolute gem of an idea! what a genuinely horrifying concept that all the animators pulled off so perfectly! both the incredible animation AND the terrifying execution of an equally terrifying concept are giving me major chills! another yearly halloween map for the yearly watch bucket, but i'm also not done watching it today! also, i gotta say... infected hawkfrost staring the viewer down during the thumbnail contest reel was the unsettling cherry on top! i can't wait to see where this au goes next!
BROOOOOO I AM ACTUALLY SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED FOR THIS MAP IVE BEEN SO HYPED UP FOR IT FOR OVER A YEAR AND LITERALLY BEEN COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS- IT WAS SPECTACULAR AND ONE OF THE MAPS IVE EVER SEEN, DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITES- THANK YOU TO ALL WHO WORKED TO MAKE THIS MAP COME TO LIFE, IT WAS AMAZING!!! I AM SO HAPPY TO BE HERE WHEN THIS MAP CAME OUT!! Edit: Also, the animation was absolutely stunning, the infected, especially Hawkfrost were horrifying and amazingly depicted, and with the realistic eyes too!!
Thank you so much for allowing me the chance to work on this!! It came together so well. I’m so proud of everyone, our parts came together in such an amazing way!!
Ok, I've watched alot of animatics for this cat series, and this is by far the creepiest. O.o also now that I'm aware I'm 20y ignorant of not knowing this was a book series. All you animators have convinced me to start adding this to my book collection (as it's vast and I love huge book series)
OMG ITS HERE YEAAAA Edit: The whole map is amazing, especially 2:41 its so smoooootttthhhh (also ivypools shadow is hawkfrost (i think) at 3:03, cool little detail)
Wow I actually almost forgot this was in production, but you guys knocked it out of the park! The designs were great, you introduced me to this gem of a song, the storyline is horrifying, Hawkfrost looks like a single mom with two kids at 3:55 , stunning job from everyone involved 💜
Two weeks late but this whole AU can be summed up with these words Ivypaw : "It was just a prank Dovepaw!" The prank in question : This was so amazing, everyone did a good job. :3 👍
This was AMAZING-even though it terrified me for about 5 minutes. Really, the style is *perfection*-because sometimes, gore or jumpscares aren’t what make horror. It’s the unsettling expressions, feeling of no escape, and the terror of those around you.
WoW IT TURNED OUT ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Ty for letting me in last minute Funky! It was an honour wirking with so many talented people. Man I look forward to next map >:3
And here i thought map about NPC and Longtail with zombies along with "its me" and "you can't hide" were the scariest maps i can find in the community, but now if you excuse me I'm gonna go and enjoy my nightmares tonight 😄👍.... Awesome map, great job everyone!
Kay, so, if someone asked me to describe this, I’d say THAT IT IS TERRIFYINGLY AMAZING, THE ART IS GREAT, BUT DANG IS IT TRAUMATISING, HOW 0N EARTH DID YOU COME UP WITH THIS I’M SCARED HALLELUJIAH-
AAAAA IM SO GLAD IT CAME OUT SO WELL!!! I've been watching the progress like a hawk (no pun intended) and THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS AMAZING So glad to have been at least a tiny part in this with my thumbnail entry
i remember seeing the storyboard and i knew it was gonna a amazing map!!! all of the animators who took part in this are so talented and amazing! and i absolutely LOVE how all the animators drew the infected cats!!! they all look so terrifying and realistic. they way their animated adds so much character, like their stiff movements and how they all creep around! this is a very amazing and terrifying map! i don't even know how to describe it, ITS JUST MY NEW FAVORITE MAP!!!
Wow!!! This MAP turned out stunning and everyone did awesome and the idea of this is absolutely amazing!!! And at 3:14 when they are together, they look kinda cute, jk they are all cute!
I don't know what happened but I watched this once and suddenly this video is my new hyperfixation. The AU is fantastic, all the parts are well animated, and the song is amazing!
INODSCOINUWVFLQIUNLINJQFEVLNIQLIEJNFV ITS DONE HOLY MOLY It was a long ride 😭😭 it’s amazing to see this MAP finished, it’s the one that made me actually going interested in joining MAPS and working on my art again, and I’m so honored I could get a part in it, THE RESULTS ARE SO GORGEOUS, THIS IS SO AMAZING ARRAFAIOUHJROVIWFOIVUBWFEJWIOBRVF I CANT, EVERYONE DID AN AMAZING JOB AND I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHATS NEXT TO THIS BEAUTIFUL AU, TYSM FUNKY ‼️‼️‼️‼️
I have been WAITING for this map for months. I’ve seen a few map parts and I was so disturbed and I LOVE it! This map was so worth the wait. I never thought a warrior’s horror map would leave checking under the bed each night.

Bramblestar (here named Brambleclaw) was Hawkfost's sibling (they have the same father, but not the same mother). And Brambleclaw has killed Hawkfost at the beginning of this MAP, so I don't think infected Hawkfost has to be good to him.

and Dovewing always got that cursed mouse stuck in her teeth
00:12 this really gave me off The Last Of Us serial intro vibes
Holy starclan I loved the aspect of this so much
The walk cycles up to the art was amazing!!
(Just wanted to point out I rlly liked 4:30 because of the gestures!)
The MAP gave me CHILLS. Like, the way Dovewing got infected… I feel so bad for her.
4:14 Wow okay I was not ready for that--
oh my gosh, watching this map gradually come together was an ABSOLUTE BLAST!! everything came out so creepy and awesome and ALL THE PARTICIPANTS DID OUTSTANDING WORK!!!
Genuinely one of the most disturbing warriors maps I think I've ever seen. The artists did an incredible job capturing that uncanny feeling with the way these things move and twitch about. Also my god, that scene with dovewing just throwing up blood/infection and stopping to clutch at her own head?? Haunting.
feels nice seeing one of these say 3hrs ago instead of 7 years ago
WOW! This is the most creepy MAP I’ve ever seen! Even gave me the willies more than “Closer” “Mr Fear” and “The Pumpkin Song”
I’m actually hiding in the comments rn 😭 if you wanted to be evil, instead of a black screen as the ending frame it should’ve been that cat monster staring at the screen… that way it stares even after the video ends LMAO
Gosh this is such a unique concept and I really do like how simple yet uncanny the designs are, they definitely make me feel uneasy! Well done to everyone who brought this project to life
Ok so there body are like husk, Vessels; Not the actual cat. For the dark forest it seem the black shapes is how they look now. Also the husks becoming canibals is something.
So for the questions
1. Who escaped, did anyone escape or did they all got caught?
2. How will the clans recover, will they recover?
3. Is there a cure to the infection?
4. Is there a part 2 for this?
Am so exited for what you do next man if you read this far thx
-game theory fan and young artist Crystal (not real name)
1) We'll find out in the next map...EEHEEHEE...
2) As for now, all the clans are completely doomed 😭
3) The cure is up to Starclan! They are the ones who created the infection to punish the Dark Forest
4) THERE WILL BE A PART TWO!
@@FunkyFresh_lana AHHH THX FOR THE PIN MAN
CANT WAIT FOR PART 2
THIS IS THE REASON AM ANIMATING WOOOOO ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Same like I was just saying with Hollyleaf
Me: I don't want to wait for another 8 months for part 2 Funky.
Funky: WELL THAT'S TO DARN BAD!

Im a big fan of analog horror and creepy wacky designs!! This MAP is for sure gonna be a hit for years to come!! 😈💖
these designs are the most scariest of warrior cats!
you cant prove me wrong.
what an absolute gem of an idea! what a genuinely horrifying concept that all the animators pulled off so perfectly! both the incredible animation AND the terrifying execution of an equally terrifying concept are giving me major chills! another yearly halloween map for the yearly watch bucket, but i'm also not done watching it today!
also, i gotta say... infected hawkfrost staring the viewer down during the thumbnail contest reel was the unsettling cherry on top!
i can't wait to see where this au goes next!
INSANE, thank you for letting me be a part of this ❤ >:)

I AM SO HAPPY TO BE HERE WHEN THIS MAP CAME OUT!!

Lock your door tonight, so you wont wake up to this thing at the edge of your bed staring at you
I love this map so much I can’t stop watching it!!! you can tell the animators spent so much time on this, it’s so good!
БОЖЕ, КАК ЖЕ ЭТО ШИКАРНО!! ПОКЛОНЯЮСЬ ВСЕМ, КТО ДЕЛАЛ ЭТОТ МАП
I literally can't stop watching this masterpiece. Every animator did amazing on this. The infected designs are so disturbing they're perfect!
5:49 help why is he staring so intensivly in my soul..
hes just silly like that :3
Thank you so much for allowing me the chance to work on this!! It came together so well. I’m so proud of everyone, our parts came together in such an amazing way!!
4:16 I love this firestar sm.
Ok, I've watched alot of animatics for this cat series, and this is by far the creepiest. O.o also now that I'm aware I'm 20y ignorant of not knowing this was a book series. All you animators have convinced me to start adding this to my book collection (as it's vast and I love huge book series)
OMG ITS HERE YEAAAA
Edit: The whole map is amazing, especially 2:41 its so smoooootttthhhh (also ivypools shadow is hawkfrost (i think) at 3:03, cool little detail)
Wow I actually almost forgot this was in production, but you guys knocked it out of the park! The designs were great, you introduced me to this gem of a song, the storyline is horrifying, Hawkfrost looks like a single mom with two kids at 3:55 , stunning job from everyone involved 💜
2:06 bro- LITERALLY SO SMOOTH
IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! You have no idea how excited I've been for the final release; I've been following this project since the initial call
OMG IT WAS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME PARTICIPATE!!!!
Two weeks late but this whole AU can be summed up with these words
Ivypaw : "It was just a prank Dovepaw!"
The prank in question :
This was so amazing, everyone did a good job. :3 👍
This was AMAZING-even though it terrified me for about 5 minutes. Really, the style is *perfection*-because sometimes, gore or jumpscares aren’t what make horror. It’s the unsettling expressions, feeling of no escape, and the terror of those around you.
WoW IT TURNED OUT ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Ty for letting me in last minute Funky! It was an honour wirking with so many talented people.
Man I look forward to next map >:3
AAAA THIS CAME OUT AMAZING! TY FOR LETTING ME HELP OUT IN THIS MAP EVERYONE DID WONDERFULLY!
This is genuinely horrific and Lionblazes infected design was both haunting and wonderful
I’ve been waiting for this map since the map call was released! I swear everything about this map got me in awe. Happy it’s finished
Holy crap this is a creative and extremely well animated infection!!
Oh. My. StarClan. This is amazing and terrifying also I literally had a nightmare last night where someone had a face like Hawkfrost's.
My goodness this MAP came out so well! It's so disturbing but like it's perfect. Amazing work everyone, and thank you for hosting Funky!
AWESOME TO SEE U HERE JAY, TYYY!!
And here i thought map about NPC and Longtail with zombies along with "its me" and "you can't hide" were the scariest maps i can find in the community, but now if you excuse me I'm gonna go and enjoy my nightmares tonight 😄👍.... Awesome map, great job everyone!
Kay, so, if someone asked me to describe this, I’d say THAT IT IS TERRIFYINGLY AMAZING, THE ART IS GREAT, BUT DANG IS IT TRAUMATISING, HOW 0N EARTH DID YOU COME UP WITH THIS I’M SCARED HALLELUJIAH-
This is the scariest m.a.p I've ever seen! Good job
AAAAA IM SO GLAD IT CAME OUT SO WELL!!! I've been watching the progress like a hawk (no pun intended) and THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS AMAZING
So glad to have been at least a tiny part in this with my thumbnail entry
i remember seeing the storyboard and i knew it was gonna a amazing map!!! all of the animators who took part in this are so talented and amazing! and i absolutely LOVE how all the animators drew the infected cats!!! they all look so terrifying and realistic. they way their animated adds so much character, like their stiff movements and how they all creep around! this is a very amazing and terrifying map! i don't even know how to describe it, ITS JUST MY NEW FAVORITE MAP!!!
WOAHHH THIS TURNED OUT SO GOOD
Wow!!! This MAP turned out stunning and everyone did awesome and the idea of this is absolutely amazing!!!
And at 3:14 when they are together, they look kinda cute, jk they are all cute!
I don't know what happened but I watched this once and suddenly this video is my new hyperfixation.
The AU is fantastic, all the parts are well animated, and the song is amazing!

I have been WAITING for this map for months. I’ve seen a few map parts and I was so disturbed and I LOVE it! This map was so worth the wait. I never thought a warrior’s horror map would leave checking under the bed each night.
