Fblthp, pronounced as "Fibblethip",[1] is a cowardly homunculus from Ravnica with a talent for getting hopelessly lost.[2][3][4]

History

Fblthp serves the Azorius Senate, working in the Magister's Gardens. He was mostly left alone to do his duties, an arrangement he was quite happy with. He would tidy up and take care of the plants, content with his lot in life. One day, Arrester Parisha took him on a mission to capture the Rakdos criminal Vadax Gor, whose taste in victims had become more specialized and deviant. As part of the operation to apprehend the cultist, Fblthp was used as a lure. When Vadax quite literally took the bait, Parisha sprang into action and saved the put-upon homunculus.

For his participation and the mission's success, Fblthp was awarded the possibility of his descendants petitioning the Senate to create a tablet to register Fblthp's exploits upon his death.

Fblthp was present during the War of the Spark. He somehow found his way to the top of Nicol Bolas's statue of himself, which was still preferable to the time he was stuck in the Juri Revue for a week.

Phyrexian Invasion

When the invasion broke through on Ravnica, the first thing the homunculus Fblthp did was run away — and somehow promptly wound up on the frontlines of the invasion, facing down hordes of Phyrexianized Golgari. Luckily, he was rescued by Borborygmos, who happened to be smashing Phyrexians nearby. Inspired by the cyclops' combativeness, Fblthp decided to stay and assist. He squeaks in fright whenever a threat comes too close, and Borborygmos repays the favor by promptly turning and smashing whatever it is this tiny pipsqueak voice is yelling about in his ear. Together they're able to cover all possible angles of attack, making them an unstoppable duo in Ravnica's defense.[5]

On Thunder Junction

Through the Omenpaths, Fblthp got lost again. This time, on the plane of Thunder Junction.
