Jiang Yanggu is a green aligned planeswalker boy from the Plane of Mountains and Seas, who is always accompanied by a sapient dog named Mowu.
Description
Yanggu has power over the creatures of the forest, and can magically enhance their strength. He is also able to take Mowu with him when he planeswalks.[1]
History
Origin
After waking up with no memories, he didn't know his name or family. He renamed himself Yanggu (literally "valley where sun rises"[2]) after the Easternmost Valley of his home country.[3][4] To save the Jiuli Clan, which was haunted by plague, Yanggu ventured into the Ten Wizards Mountain for a solution. Here he battled, and later befriended, the mysterious water mage Mu Yanling. With Yanling's help, Yanggu tackled the threat of the plague. In order to find out who he really was, he went onto the journey of expedition with Mu Yanling.
War of the Spark
Yanggu and Mowu were lured to Ravnica by the interplanar beacon, and immediately became trapped there due to Bolas's use of the Immortal Sun.
Background
Together with Mu Yanling, he was introduced for the Global Series: Jiang Yanggu & Mu Yanling.[5] They are canonical characters in the multiverse, meaning they (and their plane) could intersect with Magic Story in the future.[6] For Yanggu, this happened in War of the Spark.
