The Biggest, Baddest, Nastiest, Scariest Creature You'll Ever See is an acorn creature type. It exists only on the creature B.F.M. (Big Furry Monster) from Unglued.
Description
The Big Furry Monster was printed with several exaggerated qualities to emphasize its scale. It has more mana symbols in its mana cost than any other card, and the highest finite power and toughness ever printed. As of 2025, the next-highest power is Yargle and Multani and the next-highest toughness is Charix, the Raging Isle, each less than a fifth of the "size" of the B.F.M.
The Big Furry Monster is wearing the former two largest creatures in Magic (Phyrexian Dreadnought and Polar Kraken) as jewelry. Its flavor text also references Polar Kraken's flavor text.[1][2]
The most notable quality of the B.F.M. is that it spans two cards side-by-side, such that the card art, rules text, and type line are each split in half. Because neither card is a creature in its own right, there are unique rulings for playing the B.F.M. For example, both cards must enter play simultaneously.[3] The B.F.M.'s creature type was the only creature type with multiple words before Time Lord was introduced in the Universes Beyond set Doctor Who.
The B.F.M. was the most popular card in Unglued, and inspired the meld mechanic.[4]
