I can't be the only one who's noticed that the Ghost that comes with the core box lacks the "No attachments." keyword.

Now, as much as I love the idea of decking out a wolf with a mount, armor, and weapons, that's something this game has always avoided. I don't think I'm out of line when I say that every Creature character this game has ever seen has been "No attachments."

This has got to be a typo, yeah? So why hasn't it ever been in the FAQ/Eratta?

Its not a typo. He can take attachments and was specifically intended to be able to take attachments. Its just one of those weird quarks. Like Drogon visiting Lanisport Brothel.

And he is not the only Creature in the game that can take attachments.

The thing to keep in mind is that the "specific intent" to let him take attachments makes it far more likely that opponents will use attachments to do mean things to him than his controller will ever make him the base of some Voltron nightmare deck/combo.

There is a more often seen Creature character who can take attachments: Carrion Bird. It can lead to fluffwise silly situations, but it's just a game.

I remember noticing that in one of the very first games I played, back when I was still playing with just the Core Set decks. Sadly, at least in that deck, you can't take advantage of it, as the three Stark attachments in the Core Set are all Stark character only.
