The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Urtica is Latin for "nettle", and bristles that urticate are characteristic of this type of plant, and many other plants in several families.
- This term also refers to certain types of barbed bristles that cover the dorsal and posterior surface of a tarantula's or caterpillar's abdomen.
- Many tarantula species eject bristles from their abdomens, directing them toward potential attackers.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Urticating hair article was read about 61,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 58: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
