"Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier":
  • This card is the only "Dragon of the Ice Barrier" to not be named after an actual mythological weapon. This is due to confusion in Japan from various JRPGs purporting "Brionac" as a legitimate name for Lugh's spear, which in reality had no name until the 17th century, when it was cited as "Areadbhair" in a narrative version of Lugh's mythology titled The Fate of the Children of Tuireann.
    • It is also the only "Dragon of the Ice Barrier" that is not Dragon.
