Homebrew Myr - MTG Mirrodin Species Details

Memnarch created the myr with three qualities in mind: dependability, controllability, and disposability.

"As the experimental population grows, so does the number of myr. It's a perfect equilibrium."

—Memnarch

Myr were created as mindless servitors and act out a single role without question. However, there is said to be intelligence and emotion behind their sullen, mechanical eyes. Memnarch can see through the eyes of the myr using the Darksteel Eye.

Since the fall of Memnarch, many myr continued to fulfill their duties regardless of having no master while others simply shut down to await commands that would never come. Some developed a consciousness and free will. At the start of the Phyrexian invasion, many were adapted to the Phyrexian side and equipped with sinew grafts, ichor, and necrogen.

Living Mechanical Workers

Myr are creatures built to task. Each one is designed to fulfill a specific role and each follow a very basic guideline. All myr have a beak-like head with a pair of eyes.  Beyond these common elements of myr design, the precise materials and build of a myr vary based on the purpose for which it was designed.

Although they were manufactured, myr are living humanoids. Resting, healing magic, and the Medicine skill all provide the same benefits to myr that they do to other humanoids.
