This creature can't be blocked by Walls.

Where it came from
Bog Rats was originally introduced in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, representing the quintessential low-cost black creature. As a core member of the swamp-dwelling swamp creature archetype, it was designed to provide players with an efficient, albeit fragile, early-game threat. Its inclusion in the 1999 Classic Sixth Edition served to maintain a baseline of functional creatures for new players as the game's rules underwent a significant overhaul during that era.
The artwork for this specific edition was rendered by Ron Spencer, a prominent illustrator in the game's early history known for his gritty and visceral aesthetic. Spencer sought to emphasize the scavenged, pestilent nature of the creatures, utilizing a dark color palette that reinforced the color identity of black in the game. Upon its release in the core sets, the card was widely recognized as a functional staple, praised for its simplicity and the way it embodied the aggressive, attrition-based philosophy of black deck design.
