Ah, Spitting Gourna. One of the first Magic cards I ever knew, and a component of one of the two earliest decks I ever knew; a Morph deck. Not an amazingly fast or powerful deck, but it's hard to beat morph in terms of mindgames and fun (you have a 2/2 creature and a face-down Morph creature attacks. Do you let it through and pray it's a Scornful Egotist, not a Krosan Cloudscraper?) Spitting Gourna was a component of this deck, and powerful it was not, but fun it was. This card reminds me of just what casual magic can be. Good times.

@metalevolence: The thing is, a pangolin really is a type of anteater, whereas a gourna is a... well, honestly I can't figure out what a gourna is. It may be one of those made up beat types like Thragg or Undorak (twinkie, not okra, to borrow a phrase from Creative).
The point is, there's a bit of a difference between a card where they said "give us anteater art for this anteater beast card," and a card where they said "give us some weird creature art for this beast card" and for some reason were given an anteater.
