{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|M=2}} as of ''[[Planeshift]]'' |beeble=9Β½ |beeble_ref=<ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/180506854918/|title=Where are phelddagrifs on the beeble scale? |November 26, 2018}}</ref> }} '''Phelddagrifs''' is a [[creature type]] describing purple winged [[Hippo]]s. ==History== The first printed was <c>Phelddagrif</c> from ''[[Alliances]]'', the second was <c>Questing Phelddagrif</c> from ''[[Planeshift]]''.<ref>{{DailyRef|savor-flavor/magics-exclusive-creatures-2011-08-10|Magic's Exclusive Creatures|[[Doug Beyer]]|August 10, 2011}}</ref> Both are very similar to each other, being 4/4 creatures for {{1}}{{W}}{{U}}{{G}} with three activated abilities that cost one of each of its color of mana and grant the opponent a boon. The green ability gives the opponent a 1/1 green Hippo, the white ability gains the opponent 2 life, and the blue ability draws the opponent a card. ==Trivia== *Both Phelddagrifs can create 1/1 green Hippo [[token]]s, the Hippo token of that size, and the only Hippo token at all until [[Amonkhet]]'s <c>Mouth // Feed</c>. *Phelddagrif is an anagram for "Garfield PhD", referring to the <c>Richard Garfield, Ph.D.</c>, the creator of [[Magic]].<ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/169042948298/its-my-birthday-can-i-have-some-trivia-on-my|title=Can I have some trivia on my favourite creature type Phelddagrif?|December 28, 2017}}</ref> The name was originally intended to be used on the character later named [[Freyalise]], but the continuity director suggested it sounded more like the name of a [[flying]] purple [[hippo]].<ref>{{WebRef|url=http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/lexicon-archive-2002-01-15|title=The Lexicon Archive|author=[[Wizards of the Coast]]|date=January 15, 2002|publisher=[[Wizards of the Coast]]|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170419184602/http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/lexicon-archive-2002-01-15|archivedate=April 19, 2017}}</ref> *As a "[[vanity card]]" Pheldagriffs are now out of bounds.<ref>{{EzTumblr|http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/18599108601/hey-mark-i-was-wondering-if-you-guys-were|title=Are you planning on coming out with any more phelddagrifs.?|March 02, 2012}}</ref> *The [[flavor text]] from {{Card|Seedtime|Judgment}} mentions hippos growing wings. ==References== {{reflist}} {{Creature types|Races}}
