Scuttlegator is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Defender {6}{G/U}{G/U}: Adapt 3. (If this creature has no +1/+1 counters on it, put three +1/+1 counters on it.) As long as this creature has a +1/+1 counter on it, it can attack as though it didn't have defender.

How it works : Scuttlegator

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    You can always activate an ability that will cause a creature to adapt. As that ability resolves, if the creature has a +1/+1 counter on it for any reason, you simply won’t put any +1/+1 counters on it.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If a creature somehow loses all of its +1/+1 counters, it can adapt again and get more +1/+1 counters.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
