Blackcough is a fatal chest/lung disease in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. Blackcough could easily kill Kits and Elders, as they aren't as strong as Apprentices and Warriors. Because it is mentioned in Warriors only once in Moonrise by Mothwing, most assume the name 'blackcough' was simply a typo or author's mistake.
