In addition to the proper answers below, I should note that mtgmint probably lists it as a creature because it's the first non-creature 'token' to appear in that particular slot in a pack.

[Sorin, username_0 of Innistrad](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=249985) has an ability that creates these things (yes, multiples will stack).
