Lovecraftian horror, a Rare card
Lovecraftian horror, also called cosmic horror or eldritch horror, is a subgenre of horror, fantasy, and weird fiction originating from the United States that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is named after 20th-century American author H. P. Lovecraft, whose work emphasizes strange and eldritch phenomena, with themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries, which are now associated with Lovecraftian horror as a subgenre.
- The cosmic themes of Lovecraftian horror can also be found in other media, notably horror films, horror games, and comics.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lovecraftian horror article was read about 440,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
