Wombat

Template:Infobox type Wombat is a green creature type that has appeared twice; once on a black-bordered card (<c>Rabid Wombat</c> in Legends), and once on an Acorn card (<c>Surgeon General Commander</c> in Unsanctioned).

Wombats are stocky, burrowing, herbivorous marsupials, about the size of a badger. <c>Rabid Wombat</c> seems to be affected by rabies, which makes it raging mad.

Trivia

• The Unglued Hidden Message mentions a Lord of Wombats that didn't make it to print.
• Twenty-six years after the original, Wombat returned as a silver-bordered creature type, on <c set="UND" number="" title="Surgeon General Commander" artist="">Surgeon General Commander</c> (Unsanctioned)
• Wombats are one of R&D designer Mark Gottlieb’s favorite animals and he’s been on a quest to get more Wombats in Magic. Most cards that are Wombats in design have a subtle (or not subtle) reference to Gottlieb in their name. There’s always the big question of should Wombats be tied to auras/enchantments because of Rabid Wombat.
