Exoskeleton, an Uncommon card
An exoskeleton is a skeleton that is on the exterior of an animal in the form of hardened integument, which both supports the body's shape and protects the internal organs, in contrast to an internal endoskeleton which is enclosed underneath other soft tissues.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Some large, hard and non-flexible protective exoskeletons are known as shell or armour.
- Examples of exoskeletons in animals include the cuticle skeletons shared by arthropods and tardigrades, as well as the skeletal cups formed by hardened secretion of stony corals, the test/tunic of sea squirts and sea urchins, and the prominent mollusc shell shared by snails, clams, tusk shells, chitons and nautilus.
- Some vertebrate animals, such as the turtle, have both an endoskeleton and a protective exoskeleton.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Exoskeleton article was read about 85,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 44: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
