Brushwagg is a green creature type that was first used in black border for the card Brushwagg in Mirage.
Description
A Brushwagg is an animal of varying size, which looks like a heap of animated kindling. Its body is covered in twigs which make a characteristic noise when it moves.
Dominaria
The brushwaggs near the Mtenda Plains in Jamuraa are large animals, nearly large enough to fill a room in a hut. They are harmless creatures that eat flowers and banyan shoots, as well as briarbugs (which also plague them). When threatened, they ball up inside their brambles to roll away when threatened by predators, such as goats.[1]
Relationship to humans
Valued for their pacifism and literacy, brushwaggs are happily employed by humans as messengers.[1] A brushwagg pawing a message in the dirt is considered a friendly greeting from that message's sender. While able to scrawl entire messages of considerable length, the effectiveness of their writing is severely limited by poor spelling and primitive articulation of thoughts, as shown in the following communication from a brushwagg to Fola:[2]
| “ | I gO meeT IT. IT with two-POinTs. I Do MESAGE MESAGE MEsagE. It thumP ME. MEMEMEMEME. No more Mesage. Ow! OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW. Go bacK oR Get ThumpEd. BrushWAGg no diE. | ” |
Ikoria
Odd little brushwaggs are also found on Ikoria. The small but tough hedgehog-like creatures are usually given a wide berth by bigger monsters. It's able to grow huge and mighty but spends most of its time as small as a hedgehog.[3]
History
The subtype survived the Grand Creature Type Update. Almighty Brushwagg would much later be printed in Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths.
Another Brushwagg appeared as a test card in the Mystery Booster set (Interplanar Brushwagg).
Storyline
| “ | Defiantly, the young cyclops popped the brushwagg into his mouth. His cheeks suddenly puffed, his eye bulged, and he was forced to agree with his elder | ” |
