- This card's name comes from the appearance of this monster's head; its "nose" resembles a hammer's head hitter and the spikes at the back of this monster's head resemble the hammer's "claw" (the part that removes hammered-in objects).
- The fossils of "Hyper Hammerhead" appear in "Fossil Excavation".
- Hyper Hammerhead is one of two Dinosaur-Type monsters that returns a monster to the hand, the other being "Jurrac Ptera".
- This card's effect is similar to "Mist Valley Soldier"'s, albeit the latter's lore explains this differently.
- This monster appears in the artwork of "Lost World".
