Morinfen and Gallowbraid were two Phyrexian Horrors which were the bane of Crovax. The partners were the first Phyrexians to show up in Dominaria after the Brothers' War. They were distorted humanoids with fangs and skins like stone. Morinfen had wings while his partner, Gallowbraid, did not.

History

In 4201, Sisay, Gerrard, and the rest of the Weatherlight Crew brought Crovax home to his family estate in Urborg to repel the Attack on Crovax's Estate. They battled Gallowbraid and Morinfen, who were bent on destroying Crovax's entire household for reasons only known to Volrath. Recovering the ring holding her trapped, Crovax summoned the guardian angel Selenia and defeated Volrath's servants. Crovax then joined them as they confronted and defeated Gallowbraid and Morinfen. However, in the battle, Rofellos was killed by Gallowbraid. Breaking the artifact to free Selenia, Crovax was aggrieved when she was forcefully pulled away, bound by Volrath.
