Questing Beast

The Questing Beast is a legendary sapient beast from Eldraine.

History

The Questing Beast is a legendary sapient beast with both cat-like and reptilian-like features, who acts to choose candidates for the High Quest and gifts them with magical blessed swords. It has three long necks and three faces, one angry, one solemn, and one laughing.

Rankle and Mags once made it cry.

Trivia

• The Questing Beast is a reference to the Arthurian legendary beast of the same name. There are six abilities to reflect two abilities per head.
• The 47-word-long rules text of Questing Beast started many comparisons, jokingly or otherwise, based on the increasing complexity and power of the game during the Throne of Eldraine era.
• The card was referenced at the Minneopolis Unknown Event on a test card called Quest Compleated Beast, a Phyrexian version of it. In a slightly less overt reference, Rampaging Raptor also is a 2MM 4/4 with haste, evasion, and damage-copying ability.
