Card Trivia:Skull Servant


 * "Skull Servant" has earned its reputation as being one of the worst monsters in the game, prompting Konami to create support cards for it, "King of the Skull Servants", "The Lady in Wight" and "Wightmare".
 * Due to its reputation as being a very weak monster on its own, several video games based on Yu-Gi-Oh! reward the player with a bonus if they manage to reduce the opponent's Life Points to zero with an attack from this card. (This is known as "Skull Servant Finish". It can actually be accomplished in dedicated decks using certain powerful Equip Spell Cards).


 * "Skull Servant" appears in the artwork of the following cards:
 * "Ante"
 * "Zombie Master"
 * "Spirit Caller"
 * "Terrible Deal"
 * "Dark Eruption"
 * "Graceful Revival"
 * "King of the Skull Servants"
 * "Pride of the Weak"
 * "Tri-Wight Zone"


 * This card has three stronger counterparts: "Fire Reaper", "The Wandering Doomed", and "The 13th Grave".
 * All of these monsters are Level 3 or lower Zombie-Type monsters and thus are protected by the effect of "The Lady in Wight".
 * "Fire Reaper's" ATK and DEF are equal to "Skull Servant's" doubled +100.
 * "The Wandering Doomed's" ATK and DEF are equal to "Skull Servant's" doubled +200.
 * "The 13th Grave's" ATK and DEF are equal to "Skull Servant's" tripled +300.


 * 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.


 * This card is one of few card who has appeared in all three Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime.
