Ship
Ship is an atypical, and now obsolete, blue creature type used for cards picturing ships and zeppelins. Pirate Ship established Ship as a creature type all the way back in Alpha, though it would be quite a while before the odd line “Creature — Ship” actually appeared on Talas Air Ship.
In the Grand Creature Type Update the subtype Ship was eliminated, mostly replaced by the race of the shipscrew.
