Arahbo is a legendary cat avatar from an unknown plane. It is the primordial essence of all Cats in the Multiverse.

Description

It is said that all cats in the Multiverse trace their lineage back to Arahbo.[1] A primordial being similar to the Ur-Dragon,[2] Arahbo represents the ideal feline: clever, perceptive, assertive, poised, and a vicious hunter.[3]

Arahbo scales the mountains of his world and makes his home in their snowy peaks, which offer camouflage to augment his stealthy attacks.[3] Though independent by nature, he has learned to tolerate the presence of the other cats who come to pay respect, accepting their offerings while they bask in his inspirational presence.

Behind the scenes

Jesper Ejsing's art for Arahbo, Roar of the World is labeled "Norabu, Roar of the World," implying this was the character and card's original name.[4]
