{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|G=2|B=2|R=1}} as of ''[[Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths]]'' }} '''Pangolin''' is a [[black]] and [[green]] [[creature type]] used on cards that depicts a mammal with large hardened overlapping plate-like scales covering its skin. ==Description== Pangolins (also known as "scaly anteaters") are normally found in tropical regions. They have a small head with an elongated snout, a long sticky tongue for catching ants and termites, and a tapering tail. As a defense tactic, they can roll up into a ball. The name "pangolin" derives from the [[Wikipedia:Malay language|Malay]] word ''pengguling'' ("something that rolls up"). A pangolin's scales are resistant to all sorts of damage and weaponry. Desire for them threatens to drive the pangolin to extinction. ===Card history=== The card <c>Prowling Pangolin</c> in ''[[Onslaught]]'' originally was just a [[Beast]]. The creature type '''Anteater''' was added in the [[Grand Creature Type Update]]. Because pangolins are not actually related to true anteaters, the creature type was removed again in the ''[[Fate Reforged]]'' rules update and the card was reprinted without the subtype in ''[[Eternal Masters]]''.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/fate-reforged-update-bulletin-oracle-2015-01-15|''Fate Reforged'' Update Bulletin β Oracle Text|[[Matt Tabak]]|January 15, 2015 }}</ref> <c>Ridgescale Tusker</c> from ''[[Aether Revolt]]'' and the <c>Bumbling Pangolin</c> from ''[[Unstable]]'' were also just Beasts. The proper creature type was finally introduced for <c>Reckless Pangolin</c> from ''[[Global Series: Jiang Yanggu & Mu Yanling]]''. The older cards were updated accordingly,<ref>{{DailyRef|news/core-set-2019-oracle-changes-2018-07-06|''Core Set 2019'' Oracle Changes|[[Eli Shiffrin]]| July 6, 2018}}</ref> except for <c>Ridgescale Tusker</c>.<ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/175617049053/ridgescale-tusker-didnt-get-updated-to-be-a|title=Ridgescale Tusker didn't get updated to be a pangolin, but it sure looks like a pangolin.|July 06, 2018}}</ref> The latter was amended in 2020<ref>{{DailyRef|news/oracle-changes-2020-01-10|''Theros Beyond Death'' Oracle Changes|[[Eli Shiffrin]]|January 10, 2020}}</ref>.
