Sloth is a creature type used for cards that depict slow-moving tropical mammals with long limbs and hooked claws. Sloths may hang upside down from the branches of trees and often have mosses or plants growing on their back.

History

The first depicted sloths in the game were Arboreal Grazer from War of the Spark and Relic Sloth from Strixhaven: School of Mages, though both were typed as Beasts. The same was true for the Complaints Clerk from Unfinity, which could be considered a Sloth-folk.

The creature type was finally introduced for Lumbering Megasloth from Universes Beyond: Fallout. All three earlier cards gained the correct type in the Oracle update for that set. The first new card in-universe was Hungry Megasloth (Foundations Jumpstart)
