Zubera is creature type unique to the Kamigawa block. [1] 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.
The type first surfaced as a cycle in the set Champions of Kamigawa. Each of these common 1/2 creatures costs 
C 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:
- Silent-Chant Zubera
- Floating-Dream Zubera
- Ashen-Skin Zubera
- Ember-Fist Zubera
- Dripping-Tongue Zubera.
Saviors of Kamigawa added two mirrored 3/3 uncommon creatures for 
CC with an ability that triggers if they go to the graveyard from play after being dealt four damage or more that turn.
Trivia
- Zubera is a made up word.
- The creative team made Zubera an additional creature type (alongside Spirit) so that they could key off of type when they died. [2]
- A giant Dripping-Tongue Zubera is depicted in Unchecked Growth.
- 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.
