This creature can't be blocked by Walls.

Where it came from
Bog Rats was released in 1994 as part of The Dark, the fourth expansion set for Magic: The Gathering. The set was designed to explore a gothic, horror-inspired aesthetic, moving away from the high-fantasy tropes of the base game. It was conceived as a darker, more somber addition to the game's lore, focusing on thematic elements of dread and folklore, which helped solidify the game's identity as a diverse and evolving trading card experience.
The artwork was provided by Ron Spencer, a prolific illustrator who became well-known for his distinctive, visceral style during the game's early years. For Bog Rats, Spencer utilized a gritty, textural approach to depict the creatures as feral and unsettling, fitting the dark tone mandated by the set's creative direction. While the card is a simple common, it remains a nostalgic touchstone for players who collected during the game's formative period.
