Giant Anteater

The myth

The giant anteater is a real animal of the Cerrado, the Pantanal and Brazil's forests, and its Brazilian name comes from Tupi. It has no teeth: it uses a long, sticky tongue to eat thousands of ants and termites a day, visiting many nests without wiping any out. The huge claws on its front feet open termite mounds and also serve for defense; the anteater's embrace is famous in rural Brazil, and there are accounts of it standing up even to jaguars. Its long, flag-like tail gives it its Brazilian name. The card is a MYTHENOR creation celebrating this calm animal.

Why it has this power

A level 3 common with ATK 1000 and DEF 1000: balanced and calm. It is an earth-element Beast that lives digging into termite mounds. Sun and Bull are open grassland and the strength of its claws. Fused with the Living Anthill, it becomes Anteater, King of the Termite Mounds.
