The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Most tadpoles are fully aquatic, though some species of amphibians have tadpoles that are terrestrial.
- Tadpoles have some fish-like features that may not be found in adult amphibians, such as a lateral line, gills and swimming tails.
- As they undergo metamorphosis, they start to develop functional lungs for breathing air, and the diet of tadpoles changes drastically.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Tadpole article was read about 110,000 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 45: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Tadpole
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
