The myth

Fireflies are real beetles that make their own light through a chemical reaction in the abdomen, called bioluminescence. Each species blinks in a different rhythm, and that is how males and females find each other in the dark. Brazil has hundreds of species, and in parts of the Cerrado glowing larvae live in termite mounds that shine at night like Christmas trees. On rural nights, fireflies have always accompanied stories told around the fire, and many people linked their lights to enchanted beings. The card is a MYTHENOR creation honoring these tiny lanterns.

Why it has this power

A level 2 common with ATK 700 and DEF 500: fragile, but useful. It is a light-element Insect or Plant, light born from its own body. Sun and Scarab are the glow and the world of beetles. It works well as material for type fusions and as company on the Deep Forest Under Jaci's Moon field.

Did you know

A firefly's light is cold: almost all the energy of the reaction becomes light, and almost none becomes heat.
