The Questing Beast is a legendary sapient beast from Eldraine.
History
The Questing Beast is a legendary sapient beast with both cat-like and reptilian-like features, who acts to choose candidates for the High Quest and gifts them with magical blessed swords.[1][2] It has three long necks and three faces, one angry, one solemn, and one laughing.
Rankle and Mags once made it cry.[3]
Trivia
- The Questing Beast is a reference to the Arthurian legendary beast of the same name. There are six abilities to reflect two abilities per head.
- The 47-word-long rules text of Questing Beast started many comparisons, jokingly or otherwise, based on the increasing complexity and power of the game during the Throne of Eldraine era.
- The card was referenced at the Minneopolis Unknown Event on a test card called Quest Compleated Beast, a Phyrexian version of it. In a slightly less overt reference, Rampaging Raptor also is a 2MM 4/4 with haste, evasion, and damage-copying ability.
