Tangleclaw Werewolf // Fibrous Entangler

Tangleclaw Werewolf // Fibrous Entangler was released in the 2016 Magic: The Gathering expansion Eldritch Moon. Set on the plane of Innistrad, the expansion explored the cosmic horror themes of H.P. Lovecraft, as the angelic guardian Avacyn succumbed to madness and invited alien entities known as the Eldrazi into the world. This specific card represents the mechanical transformation of creatures as they are corrupted by the influence of Emrakul, reflecting the set's central focus on body horror and biological mutation.

The art for this double-faced card was created by artist Mathias Kollros, who has contributed extensively to the game's visual identity. Kollros aimed to depict the grotesque transition from a feral lycanthrope to a twisted, plant-like horror. The design was received by the player base as a functional piece within the set's green-based 'emerge' and transformation themes, serving as a mid-range creature that provides both defensive utility and offensive pressure during the game's mid-to-late stages.
