Template:Infobox type Donkey is a silver-bordered creature type for cards that depict a type of equine in the same family as the Horse that is often used as a pack animal.

History[edit]

Donkey debuted as a creature type in Unhinged on a cycle with five common Donkeys of each color along with a Lord. They are all depicted as an anthropomorphic bipedal race of Donkeys with a class. No cards depict the normal animal form of the Donkey.

Trivia[edit]

  • Donkeys are alternately referred to as an Ass (an abbreviation of the Latin name Asinus) allowing the Un-cards to be named after epithets referring to another kind of ass.
  • No Donkey has a whole number for Power and Toughness. Instead, each has an additional 1/2 added.
  • The main cycle of Donkeys include <c>Bad Ass</c>, <c>Cheap Ass</c>, <c>Dumb Ass</c>, <c>Fat Ass</c>, and <c>Smart Ass</c>,
  • The <c>Assquatch</c> is a Donkey Lord giving each Donkey +1 1/2 to power and toughness.
  • Despite physical similarities these anthropomorphic Donkeys have with the Noggle, the two races hold no relationship.[1][2]
