The card features the Darkness type, with a base HP of 50. Its retreat cost requires one Colorless energy, making it relatively easy to deploy.

The card has a Psychic resistance of -30, reducing damage from Psychic-type attacks, while its weakness is Fighting-type attacks that deal double damage. The artwork was created by artist Naoyo Kimura, contributing to its visual design. This card balances simplicity and strategic utility through its unique ability and energy requirements.
