The Horror creature is hidden really well in this picture. 4/4 black you say? It is Hidden Horror!!!!

Oh, it's silhouetted in the doorway. Trace your line of sight directly down from the front of that magnificent burley beard.

@NeoKoda: Lammasu, or shedu, are a form of protective supernatural being from Sumerian, Babylonian, and Assyrian lore. They're thought to be an antecedent to the Hebrew cherubim.

Whoah, a Lammasu? I did not expect to see one of those in Magic.

This is a fair trade though. Hunted Troll has to deal with 4 irritating chump blockers, this guy can swing early for good damage and evasion and the enemy 4/4 can be killed with White's traditional plethora of bleedin' first strikers...

Lamassu are actually mythical creatures depicted in Mesopotamian (let's just say the Middle East in ancient times) art. There a couple of Lamassu statues in the British Museum, if I recall correctly.

The misspelling of the name comes from D&D, though, if we can believe the wikipedia article.

That 4/4 vanilla Horror has some delusions of grandeur, aiming to hunt down a creature that outclasses it so badly.

is it just me or is this the only Hunted where they forgot to depict the hunter? or am i just not seeing the horror? maybe it's hiding in the shadows of the tree or underneath the Lammasu's beard?

best of the hunted cycle, I'd say, since it can easily kill its hunter.

Everyone wishes they were a lammasu. Just look at Cao Cao, Lord of Wei. He's been trying for years.

If you like the idea of a 5/5 flier for 4 cmc with a drawback, you may be interested in Rathi Dragon. His drawback is a bit more steep, but still worth it in my opinion. This guy is always my turn 4 play when in hand with my white deck.

Nice. I'd like to see more of the Lammasu creature type in Magic.
