Lammasu is a bizarre creature type with the body of a bull, a bird's wings and a human head with horns, based on the Mesopotamian creatures of the same name (and appearance). So far, three lammasu have been printed, all associated with white mana.

Storyline

Ravnica

Ravnican lammasu once ruled the velds of the plane before the arrival of the urban sprawl. Only a few remain alive today, flying in its skies while being hunted by horrors.[1][2]

Tarkir

Tarkir lammasu are enigmatic nomads, soaring high above the land across all seasons. None know of their true purpose, but they arrive frequently at turning points of history.
