I was playing around with a Monk/Forge Cleric multi class today and it added a cantrip "Fire claws" to the spell list. However I have been unable to find any reference to such a cantrip in the rule books.
In playing around with the knowledge domain I also got a seemingly cleric domain specific cantrip that is not mentioned in any rulebooks?
Can anyone tell me where these come from or what is activated for these to show up?
Can you link the sheet of the character? That doesn't sound like any cleric or monk feature that I'm familiar with (though I'm not well versed in monk).
Sounds like a homebrew. Googling spells of that name reveals a Pathfinder spell from Kobold Press which could easily be ported over to 5E, although it's an L3 spell in that system, apparently. Do you have homebrew content enabled in the character builder?
I’ve found that if someone in my campaign has a character in a different campaign, and that different campaign uses a homebrew then that homebrew gets shoehorned into my character sheet. Like some kind of homebrew virus. It’s really quite annoying for a lot of reasons, but I heard it’s a known bug.

Somebody in the campaign has the cantrip added to their Homebrew Collection, and since the homebrew adds those to 3 Cleric Domains, they get automatically added to anyone using those domains, whether homebrew is enabled or not. You will need to ask around the group and have them remove it from their collection. (Fair chance someone just picked up homebrews that looked interesting without realizing what effect it could have.)

It's possible those are Homebrew options?
The "Home" tab in the Character Builder (anvil icon) has toggles for Character Preferences, and one of them is to enable/disable Homebrew.
If you disable Homebrew, and if those options disappear, that's the culprit. If they are still around, then I'm confused lol.

That is definitely a Home Brew Cantrip.
Search D&D Beyond, there are 3 versions of spells named that, by:

You seem to be spot on there...
It absolutely seems to be SquirelyDeath's Homebrew Cantrip that gets added from a Campaign setting .
Homebrew is deactivated in the character creator but it somehow still adds them...
Guess I have to ask the DM if we're using them or not.
Lots of thanks for the quick responses guys.
