Creature — Elephant Warrior
Vigilance
Whenever a modified creature you control dies, manifest the top card of your library. (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications. To manifest a card, put it onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature. Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it's a creature card.)

An Aura controlled by another player does not cause a creature you control to be modified.

If a double-faced card is manifested, it will be put onto the battlefield face down. While face down, it can't transform. If the front face of the card is a creature card, you can turn it face up by paying its mana cost. If you do, its front face will be up.

If a face-down permanent leaves the battlefield, you must reveal it. You must also reveal all face-down spells and permanents you control if you leave the game or the game end.
wotc7 Jun 2024
Any time you have priority, you may turn a manifested creature face up by revealing that it's a creature card (ignoring any copy effects or type-changing effects that might be applying to it) and paying its mana cost. This is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.

Turning a permanent face up or face down doesn't change whether that permanent is tapped or untapped.
wotc7 Jun 2024
Unlike a face-down creature that was cast using a morph or disguise ability, a manifested creature may still be turned face up after it loses its abilities if it's a creature card.
