Archelon

Archelon is a Prehistoic Water card made by DinoFlame. It is a good, solid card that is well versed in both defense and offense.

Leather Shield
This card is immune to Lightning attacks and paralysis. Attacks deal this card 50 less damage.

Beak Snap
If the target of this attack is an invertabrate, this attack deals double damage and the targets' abilities are ignored.

Origin Information
Archelon is a massive sea turtle that lived in the seas of the Cretaceous. It was not only massive, but infact, it is also the largest known turtle, measuring sixteen feet from flipper-to-flipper. Its shell was not solid, like most moderen turtles, but was instead made from a framework that supported a bony or leathery covering.

Using Archelon
With its defensive capablities and good attack Archelon is a nice addition to any deck, but especially so in a Water-themed deck. For most Water cards who are weak to them, facing a Lightning card would be suicidal, but such is not the case with Archelon. Infact, its immune to the attacks of Lightning cards. Additionally, it is also immune to paralysis, making it a good counter to card reliant on it. Lastly, its attack makes it a "h*** in a shell" for any invertabrates foolish enough to face it.

Defending against Archelon
If you're facing Archelon, don't try to paralyze it, and don't try to attack it with Lightning. Both are things it is immune too. Using an attack that deals less than 50 damage is also a near-useless attempt, and trying to kill it with Fire won't do too much either. What you probably want to do is hit it with a powerful, non-Lightning, non-Fire attack. Or better still, do that, but with an Earth card, which it is weak against.

Trivia

 * A little bit before Archelon was posted, Sigma had posted a card for Stupendemys whose attack is almost the same as Archelons'. While it might look like DinoFlame based Archelons' attack on Stupendemys', this is not the case. Firstly, DinoFlame had already designed Archelon prior to the posting of Stupendemys. Secondly, Stupendemys' attack was (presumably, at least) based on an attack DinoFlame had made for an MMOG creature, long before either card was made.
