Details
Race Dinosaur Turtle
Birthplace Ikoria
Lifetime Mending Era

Yidaro a huge and deadly Dinosaur Turtle from Ikoria. He is capable of incredible damage, but also kind of sweetly inattentive. The monster is easily distracted — his attention tends to wander. But if he ever focuses his attention on something, he will obliterate it.[1]

History[ | ]

The planeswalker Vivien Reid once saw Yidaro wandering around aimlessly. He seemed gentle at first, but one cry in the distance and he took off barreling toward it. She didn't think she had ever seen something so big move that fast.[2]

March of the Machine[ | ]

During New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, Yidaro, like other Ikorian beasts, grew crystals on its body that repelled glistening oil. Alongside Kogla, it fought back against the giant monstrosities of the Copper Host. Kogla used Yidaro's crystal-covered shell as a blunt weapon, although it was unclear whether Yidaro realized this.[3]
