- Where spicules of silica are present, they have a different shape from those in the otherwise similar glass sponges.
- Some species, in particular from the Antarctic, obtain the silica for spicule-building from the ingestion of diatoms.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Demosponge article was read about 20,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 54: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
