Raccoon is a creature type for cards that depict small, gray, nocturnal omnivores that have a black mask and a bushy ringed tail.
History[ | ]
The type first appeared in Unstable on Squirrel Dealer, and later appeared on non-acorn cards starting in Streets of New Capenna. Bloomburrow was the first set to feature Raccoon-typal.[1]
Storyline[ | ]
Bloomburrow[ | ]
Raccoons are one of the animalfolk of Bloomburrow, known for their love for trash and proficiency with improvised weapons. At their best, raccoonfolk are strong-willed, adventurous, and entertaining.[2] At their worst, they are scatterbrained, solitary, and impulsive. They are free-spirited wanderers, collectors, and entertainers. They tend to have strong memories, but short attention spans. Raccoonfolk history and culture are passed down orally.
Rather than settling down in Three Tree City or elsewhere, raccoonfolk spend their life on the move, acquiring a hoard of objects along the way.[3] Wherever their paws take them, raccoonfolk bring mementos from their journeys.[2]
Raccoonfolk learn to use their magic to empower themselves and the natural world around them.[2] Extremely skilled raccoonfolk druids can even animate the natural environment.
Capenna[ | ]
Many raccoonfolk live in New Capenna as bandits. The feral ones still live outside the metropolis, in Old Capenna.[4]
