Azra is a creature type introduced in Battlebond.
Description
Azra are native on Kylem and have a distant demonic ancestry.[2] They have the appearance of a horned human with purple, blue or dark skin. Their horns have different shapes for different individuals. Males also have horny appendages on their chins. Their facial shape can shift into a purely demonic snarl when they feel threatened.
Wealth, taste, and trickery are the Azra's primary interests. They love anything gold and shiny and aren't afraid to show off their wealth. Thus, most Azra become merchants, though others seeking quick coin might turn to a life of crime as rogues, assassins, or mercenaries.

Trivia
- The creature type has similarities with the tiefling race, known from Dungeons & Dragons, but lacks the tail.
- Modern Horizons features an Azra Ninja: Azra Smokeshaper.
- Due to being introduced in the supplemental product Battlebond, Azra is the only Magic-created creature type that has no cards with it as a type having ever been legal in Standard. The only other type that had this distinction was the token-based Fractal, which had a card printed in Strixhaven: School of Mages's Commander side-release. Fractal got its first standard legal card printed in Interdisciplinary Mascot from March of the Machine's Jumpstart packs, leaving Azra as the only type to never have a card be legal in Standard.
