 * The Japanese name of this monster, "Wight", is a Middle English word for a creature or living being, esp. a human being. This term is used comparatively recently to give an impression of archaism and mystery in literature, for example in the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, where "wights" are corpses with a part of their decayed soul. Some subsequent writers seem to have been unaware that the word did not actually mean ghost or wraith, and so many works of fantasy fiction, role-playing games and computer and video games use the term as a name for spectral or undead creatures.


 * This card is Level 2 in the first-series anime and manga.


 * The character Shiro from Shakugan no Shana bears a strong resemblance to this card.


 * When this card was initially released, this card's flavor text mentioning it was not much by itself but dangerous in numbers didn't mean much. However, with the release of the Wight series, this card's flavor text is now a reference to the effect of "King of the Skull Servants".
