Thing from Below

Thing from Below is a rare shaman minion card, from the Whispers of the Old Gods set.

Strategy
Thing from Below is a powerful card in Totem-based decks, but even in almost any other Shaman deck it's still powerful; with the mana cost reduction it is often possible to play Thing from Below for near to zero mana. The sturdy body and its Taunt effect can create a massive tempo swing in the Shaman's favor.

Because this card synergizes with all friendly Totem-summoning, not only the use of Totemic Call, it can even be used with cards that replace hero powers while still gaining a good discount. Thing from Below is very powerful in Even Shaman decks, which speeds up its cost reduction thanks to the reduced hero power cost.

It can also be used in Evolve Shaman decks to create a 7-mana minion, while still being useful on its own if you don't have anything to transform it with.

Lore
While the term "thing from below" would fit quite well for most of the creations of the Old Gods, the origins of this particular creature are unknown.
