Small mouse-like rodents that make themselves at home deep in VerdureClan territory and in the lower regions of CavernClan's mountainous jungle. They have long legs, short fluffy tails, and like their name implies, little antlers on their heads. They have round bodies with short, round ears, beady black eyes, and large flat teeth. Moss and small sprouts may grow on their backs as a result of the humid conditions of their home.
Antler Mice are small and elusive, but live in groups of up to fifteen. Their long, spindly legs evolved to avoid the Sticky Grass swathes and puddles in VerdureClan. Antler Mice actively seek out cooler, more humid areas to reside in. Because of their long legs, they can not dig, and instead form mutualistic relationships with other burrow-dwelling creatures to find a place to live. In exchange for shelter, they keep burrows clean and free of scents that might attract other predators.

Some of the cats that enjoy meat may consider them a delectable snack, but they hold some significance in the folklore of the clan. Because they enjoy cool, damp environments, it is said that their presence after long summers foretell colder weather and plentiful rains. Spotting an Antler Mouse is seen as a blessing for prosperity in one's life. However, it's said that killing one curses the cat for the rest of their life, leaving them plagued by strange inconveniences and injury. They drop their horns once a year, and they are considered to be good luck charms! They can be pale, brown colors, or deep, dark blues and blacks.
