Description
Loot's body is covered in fuzzy orange fur, and a single tuft of cream hair sits at the top of his head, wedged between two dark horns and a pair of pointed ears. He has large green eyes and a long tail that is hollow at the tip. Inside, a blue orb flickers. He has a very wide mouth full of teeth.
Loot has an uncanny ability to locate and navigate the Omenpaths, and has a map of the Multiverse inside his seemingly infinite mind. He knows the endpoint of every Omenpath and can see planes coming to life and also returning to darkness. Jace Beleren perceives Loot's mind as a vast interior that is as solid as steel, rather than the delicate, crystalline structure he perceives in others.
Loot can communicate telepathically with other beings, and has the mindset of a young child.
History
Loot is a solitary being, a young beast of an unknown species and time that was discovered in stasis within a strange vault Maag Taranau on Thunder Junction. As far as anyone knows, he is the only creature of his kind. Loot appears to have a unique and valuable power in this brave new Multiverse: the ability to divine the precise location of any Omenpath and its destination. This power does not seem to be the limit of his abilities. As he grows, he may prove not only able to uncover Omenpaths but to manifest them himself.
Nine years before the events of Outlaws of Thunder Junction, during the time Jace Beleren was part of the Infinite Consortium, Tezzeret sent him to the then unsettled plane of Thunder Junction to investigate Maag Taranau, to find something Nicol Bolas was afraid of. Jace detected a slumbering, childlike mind deep within the vault, but could not get in. After relaying this to Tezzeret, they never discussed the vault again.
Seven years later, months after the War of the Spark, Jace asked Tamiyo about the vault. She opened a scroll and told him about the strange creature inside the vault, including his gender and presumably his capabilities.
At the top of the innermost platform within Maag Taranau was a pod-like structure encased in glass. Metal stretched around the glowing sphere, marked with an ancient script and surrounded by threads of amber magic. Behind it was a mural of an enormous horned creature, towering over the platform like a guardian. When the planeswalker Oko approached the pod, he noticed a shape moving behind the glass, too obscured by a cloudy haze to make out properly.
Jace Beleren, disguised as Ashiok, revealed that he had been looking for the creature inside, Loot. He pressed both hands to the glass, and the pod shattered. Loot rested on what was left of the altar. After that, Jace and his collaborator Vraska disappeared with Loot.
Bloomburrow
Vraska, Jace, and Loot traveled to Bloomburrow. It's unclear if the plane's magic changed his appearance to match its native animalfolk.
Duskmourn
At some point, Vraska and Loot became separated from Jace and the planeswalker followed them to Duskmourn. Jace came across the planeswalker Kaito Shizuki, whom the House had separated from his friends. Jace and Kaito journeyed through the house together for a short time before Jace caught sight of Vraska shielding Loot from a razorkin. Although Jace went after his family, the demon Valgavoth captured Loot.
2nd Ghirapur Grand Prix
Having been captured, Loot was forcibly conscripted onto the Speed Demons team for the 2nd Ghirapur Grand Prix to use as a navigation aide. The team is primarily composed of possessed racers and their tormentors who drive specter-haunted vehicles. It is led by a demonic entity known as the Speed Demon and captained by Winter.
Before the beginning of the race, Chandra noticed Loot's mistreatment, immediately taking a dislike to his captor, Winter.
