Living weapon is a keyword ability for equipment cards introduced in Mirrodin Besieged. [1] [2] [3]
Description
When a card with Living weapon enters the battlefield, it puts a 0/0 black Germ creature token into play and attaches itself to it. Thus Living weapons are themselves creatures until they die or their controller chooses to upgrade a different creature, with the detaching of the equipment and killing the Germ, as it is now a 0/0 creature. Due to state-based effects it is put into the graveyard and ceases to exist.
