The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is the only extant species in the genus Hyaena.
- It is listed on the IUCN Red List as near-threatened, as the global population is estimated to be under 10,000 mature individuals which continues to experience deliberate and incidental persecution along with a decrease in its prey base such that it may come close to meeting a continuing decline of 10% over the next three generations.
- It is the smallest of the bone-cracking hyenas and retains many primitive viverrid-like characteristics lost in larger species, having a smaller and less specialised skull.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Striped hyena article was read about 190,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
