Provenance

Where it came from

The Loathsome Catoblepas was released in 2013 as part of the Theros set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set was explicitly inspired by Greek mythology, transporting players to a plane dominated by gods, heroes, and terrifying monsters, and this creature was designed to embody the grotesque and lethal nature of beastly folklore within that high-fantasy setting.

The artwork was provided by Christopher Burdett, a creature designer known for his anatomical precision and ability to evoke a sense of physical weight and menace. By depicting the Catoblepas as a lumbering, toxic beast, Burdett captured the essence of the creature's mythological roots, which portray it as a swamp-dwelling entity capable of killing with a single glance or breath.
