Zubera

Zubera (ZOO-beh-rah) is creature type unique to the Kamigawa block. A Zubera is the faceless kami of a human who has been pulled into the spirit world. Zubera are said to attack solitary travelers in order to steal their faces. In fact, Zubera is essentially a species of Spirits. No Zubera is printed without the Spirit type.
==Kamigawa==
The type first surfaced as a cycle in the set Champions of Kamigawa. Each of these common 1/2 creatures costs M and has a triggered ability when it goes to the graveyard that grows with each Zubera put into a graveyard from play that turn. There's one for each color:
* <c>Silent-Chant Zubera</c> ()
* <c>Floating-Dream Zubera</c> ()
* <c>Ashen-Skin Zubera</c> ()
* <c>Ember-Fist Zubera</c> ()
* <c>Dripping-Tongue Zubera</c> ()
Saviors of Kamigawa added two mirrored 3/3 uncommon creatures for MM with an ability that triggers if they go to the graveyard from play after being dealt four damage or more that turn.
*<c>Burning-Eye Zubera</c> () 
*<c>Rushing-Tide Zubera</c> ()
==Trivia==
* Zubera is a corruption of Noppera-bō, the term for the Japanese yokai that inspired these creatures.
* The creative team made Zubera an additional creature type (alongside Spirit) so that they could key off of type when they died. 
* A giant Dripping-Tongue Zubera is depicted in <c>Unchecked Growth</c>. 
* The names of the Zubera don't link directly to the Shrines (like the Myojin do), but the connection still comes through with their abilities.
* The Zubera were made as a Kindle variant that went on creatures and only counted other Zubera that died the same turn as it did.
