So who else can find the error in this card?

[Deathjester]

Fortress Whale

Now, everything in the stats and text is correct. The error is something else. (hint: consider your knowledge of animals)

 

[Jathro]

Whales are mammals of course. Perhaps they should have made it Aqua-Type.

 

[chaosruler]

A whale is a mammal, not a fish. << But anyway, ther eisn't a mammal Type, and calling it a Beast makes little sense, so I woulda gone with Aqua, but I can see Fish.

It depicts an Orca, a member of the Delphinidae family, thus it should have been called Fortress Dolphin.

 

[Digital Jedi]

Well, why split hairs now? No one ever complains that Cyber Jar is not a Rock, but a Machine. Or that Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu doesn't look like any Beast-Warrior I've ever seen. And what criteria exactly did they use to clasify Hane-Hane as a beast? Personally I would have clasified a giant nose with floating hands as a Fairy or Spellcaster. But hey, maybe that's just me.

EDIT: Great White. Isn't a shark a mammel to_0? And shouldn't Crawling Dragon have been, well, a Dragon?

 

[anthonyj]

Sharks are not mammals. What about The Fiend Megacyber? Shouldn't he have been a Fiend or a Machine? And I always thought Crawling Dragon was more like a Komodo Dragon.

 

[Digital Jedi]

And while we're at it, why am I a Pyro-Type? Not that I don't like being in Fire Decks, but couldn't I just as easily have been a Dragon? That would have made me Masked Dragon searchable, and that would have been friggin' awsome.

I'm sure no one does seeing as how Cyber Jar is indeed a Rock...

Any guess I have on Fortress Whale has already been said so... I'll just wait for the answer here quietly.

But Cyber Jar isn't a rock. Sure it's a Rock-Type. But it's clearly not a picture of rock, or an object made of rock, or even pottery for that matter. It's a cybernetic version of Morphing Jar and it's clearly a machine. Should have been a Machine-Type.

 

[krazykidpsx]

as much as i dont play the game no more, you sir, dont know how much i complained about it.


fiber pod was a plant
metamol pod was a rock
and
Cyber pod is indead a machine.


you dont know how many times i called out machine and my opponents say dude, its a rock.

I thought Orcas were classed as whales, hence the whole "Killer whale" nickname for them?

No. Common misconception.

[daivahataka]

Just did a quick check and maybe this source is wrong but according to it Dolphins are actaully a subgroup of the "Toothed Whales", so Orcas are actually whales:

Kingdom Animalia (animals)
Phylum Chordata (vertebrates)
Class Mammalia (mammals)
Order Cetacea (whales and dolphins)
Suborder Odontoceti (toothed whales)

Another I always thought was weird was Slate Warrior. It would seem to me that it was an Earth/Warrior, instead of a Wind/Fiend.

It was called Newt in Japanese. I don't see any link between the original and the translated names.

Although why Newt should be WIND Fiend-Type is beyond me too. Should have been Aqua or something. Give some decent support to the undervalued Types.

Well, as for the attribute ... 6 sides on a die, 6 available attributes ... that's my guess on how he ended up as WIND. I understand Fiend for him, though. Warriors don't usually get effects of that nature .. very fiendish indeed.

 

[Raijinili]

Slate Warrior AKA Newt is not a Reptile (I know that newts aren't reptiles), an Aqua, a Warrior, or a Rock.

It IS, however, Yata-Garasu's cousin.

 

[The Advocate]

He's not a fish, unless of course he actually is and Fortress Whale is just his name, you know like a Killer Whale is actually a porpoise and a Whale Shark is a shark and a catfish is not a cat...plus where can I find one. When I was a young boy, my dad used to take me fishing...
