How Many Warrior Cats Books Are There?

 

How Many Warrior Cats Books Are There? (2025 Update)

The Warrior Cats series — written under the pseudonym Erin Hunter — is a vast, multi-layered collection of novels, novellas, graphic novels, and special editions about wild warrior cats, their clans, adventures, and rivalries. Since its debut in 2003, the series has expanded into a huge universe of stories. Wikipedia+2Warrior Cats+2

Because of the many different kinds of books, the total number of “Warrior Cats” books depends on what you count — main arcs, side-stories, novellas, manga/graphic novels, and supplementary guides. Here’s a breakdown to help understand the numbers.


📘 What Makes Up the Warrior Cats Series

The book types in the Warrior Cats universe generally include:

  • Main-series arcs — “core” storylines, each arc made of 6 books. Wikipedia+2Warrior Cats+2

  • Super Editions & Standalone Novels — longer or special standalone stories that expand characters’ backstories or events. Toppsta+1

  • Novellas / Short-Story Collections — shorter stories, often focusing on side characters or events between major arcs. warriors.fandom.com+1

  • Manga / Graphic Novels — illustrated versions or alternate-format storytelling in the same universe. Toppsta+1

  • Guides / Field Guides — background-books giving lore, character bios, clan histories, etc., rather than narrative novels. Wikipedia+1


📊 Current Estimate: Over 100 Books (All Types Included)

As of now, according to the most comprehensive counts:

  • The total number of published Warrior Cats books (main series + novellas + graphic novels + specials + guides) stands at 107 books — when counting each “book publication” separately. warriors.fandom.com

  • If you count every individual story (some novellas are published together, some separately), the total rises to 121 distinct stories in the franchise. warriors.fandom.com

So depending on your counting method, the total lies somewhere between ~107 to 121 (or possibly more, as new titles continue to release).


🔎 Why Different Sources Give Different Totals

The variation happens because people count differently:

  • Some count only the main-series novels — which are fewer.

  • Others include super editions, novellas, guides, and graphic novels — that increases the total substantially.

  • Sometimes novellas are bundled (so counted as one “book”), sometimes as individual stories.

  • Newer arcs — including newer graphic novels or special editions — keep adding to the total.

Because of this, you’ll see fan-lists claiming “70+ books,” “80–90,” “100+,” or even more depending on what’s included. For a complete collection across formats, treat the higher number (≈ 107+) as the total.


✅ What’s the Best “Official” Answer

  • Main novels (core arcs alone): smaller subset (several tens, depending on how many arcs completed) — this is for readers focused only on the main storyline.

  • Full Warrior Cats universe (all novels, novellas, graphic novels, guides): ~107 published books, with 121 distinct stories — this includes everything released so far.

So: Yes — Warrior Cats is massive. If you aim to read or collect the entire series, expect over 100 books!


🌟 What This Means for Fans and Collectors

  • For a complete reading experience, including side-stories and extra lore — aim for the full set (≈ 100+ books).

  • For a main-story-only journey, focus on the main arcs.

  • If you collect, check carefully: graphic novels, novellas, and guides may or may not count depending on your goal.

  • Because the series is ongoing, the length grows — worth checking for new releases if you want to stay updated.
