The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Common names include mudfish, mud pike, dogfish, grindle, grinnel, swamp trout, and choupique.
- It is regarded as a relict, being one of only two surviving species of the Halecomorphi, a group of fish that first appeared during the Early Triassic, around 250 million years ago.
- The bowfin is often considered a "living fossil" because it has retained some morphological characteristics of its early ancestors.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Bowfin article was read about 94,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
