Lore[edit | edit source]
The Spirit of the Raptor is, as the name suggests, a spiritual manifestation[1] of Gonk, the raptor loa.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Originally during the development of Rastakhan's Rumble, before Spirit cards were referred to as "Spirits", Spirit of the Raptor was known as "Shrine to Gonk" and had the card text "Can't attack or be attacked. Your hero has Windfury."
Gonk, the Raptor himself instead gave a bonus when the player's hero attacked and killed minions. The effects of Gonk and the Spirit were eventually swapped since the designers found that giving their hero the ability to "attack a whole bunch" was the more exciting of the two and thus belonged better on Gonk. Furthermore, the accompanying deck needed more resources since players would spend so many of their resources on buffing their hero's Attack, so they felt that it made sense to give a card draw effect to the Spirit.[2]
