The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The concavity of the facial disc forms a circular paraboloid that collects sound waves and directs those waves towards the bird's ears.
- The feathers making up this disc can be adjusted by the bird to alter the focal length of this sound collector, enabling the bird to focus at different distances and allowing it to locate prey by sound alone under snow, grass, and plant cover.
- Other bird species, such as harriers, have less prominent facial discs.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Facial disc article was read about 12,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 59 and blocks with 39: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
