Information
A mysterious magical scarecrow that roams the World of the Grotto Beasts, Thamacrow is a silent observer of strange occurrences that seem to happen more and more in the land ever since the Rumble appeared. Not much is known about this floating sorcerer yet, but many rumors follow them.
Thamacrow is made of wood and straw, and is dressed in a scarlet poncho and pointy hat lined with cream-colored fur. Their clothes are fastened with a shimmering amethyst gem.
Development
- Written by Art Team Lead Hollulu:
Core team artist Bellymouth first uploaded Thamacrow with the shortened name "Thama". They were created with a focus on with fall-centric warm colors, and the label "scarecrow sorcerer beast", their name referencing thaumaturgy!
The Shattered foil pattern was chosen for Thamacrow due to their magical background, as well as emphasizing the faceted gem on their neck.
- Written by Game Designer J. Evan Raitt:
In the beginning, I wanted this card to be very magical and provide a lot of opportunities to summon. However over time I didn't want this card to be too challenging to make happen and I slotted it into the anti-wish strategy.

- Birdwatching was mentioned in the flavor text as a small nod to the regularly-mentioned birdwatching stream idea.
