Territory
Duneclan's territory is dry and arid, full of scraggly vegetation like bushed tall grass, various prickly plants like milkweed flowers, bramble and thistle, thick ferns, even small, mostly dead and dry trees. Duneclan borders Moorclan and Caveclan. Most border related conflict happen between Duneclan and Moorclan, as they regularly fight due to lack of prey. It doesn't rain often in Duneclan, nor are there strong winds, but when it does rain it's both a blessing and a curse often causing sand slides which can quickly turn deadly if not prepared. Leaf-fall and leafbare are the best times for Duneclan, due to having a territory that is warm all year round, and allowing more prey to come to them during the winter. Spring is the best time to have kits due to the heat just starting, it allows them to adapt to how hot the summers can be in Duneclan.

Prey
The main food source for Duneclan comes from land prey. Though some brave warriors will venture to the shore below the dunes to hunt for fish. Often only experienced and desperate warriors will go hunting for fish. The common prey found in Duneclan territory is


 * Field mice
 * Hares
 * Crows
 * Squirrels
 * Long tailed weasels
 * Muskrats
 * Snakes
 * Hawks (risky, but a good meal)
 * Fish (risky, but worth it if successful)
 * Boar (only if they're lucky to find a dead one/under the worse circumstances)

Traits
Duneclan cats have thick and durable skin and paws due to the heat and sand that they live in. Because of their thick skin, getting deep wounds are rare and getting infections even rarer. The cats are very durable and not only battle resistant, but illness resistant as well. Sickness from infected wounds are rare, as well as death from infections. Most of the time when injured, cats will sit out in the sun to help kill off any infections when they do occur. Duneclan warriors' fur is often matted and messy- though cats like Mistysand who don't leave camp are an exception.
