Lifetime Mending Era

Brallin is a Human Shaman from Ikoria. He is bonded with the monstrous Shark Bird Shabraz.

Description[ | ]

Brallin is an adventurer. One day, when he was out exploring the Raugrin triome, he caught the unusual sight of the flying shark.[1] He decided that the monster would make a great trophy to brag about in his hometown of Lavabrink. Brallin attacked the shark, who was surprised by the puny little human punching him really hard. After a long fight, they ended up bonding with each other. They share their love for adventure and exploration.

A fierce love of adventure and a taste for excitement is the foundation of the bond between Brallin and Shabraz. Their combined knowledge of the air currents and weather patterns around Raugrin is unmatched. Shabraz can often be spotted soaring around the tall volcanic peaks, with Brallin riding exuberantly on its back.[2]

Trivia[ | ]

  • Shabraz's playtest name was "Sharkagon."[3]
  • Both Brallin and Shrabraz are possibly inspired by Philippine folklore's warrior-hero and flying shark respectively named Handyong and Tiburones. [4]
