- Above his head, hanging from beams attached to the top of the screen is the lamp, which projects the shadows onto the screen.
- In front of the dhalang is a stage, traditionally made from the trunk of a banana tree, into which the sharpened control rods of the puppets can be pushed to keep them in position during the performance.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Dalang article was read about 6,200 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 49 and blocks with 23: each hit it takes is cut by 9 %.
