The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It refers to the fully webbed, swimming appendages of aquatic vertebrates that are not fish.
- In animals with two flippers, such as whales, the flipper refers solely to the forelimbs.
- In animals with four flippers, such as pinnipeds and sea turtles, one may distinguish fore- and hind-flippers, or pectoral flippers and pelvic flippers.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Flipper article was read about 16,000 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 53: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
