- This monster appears in the artwork of "Aluber the Dogmatic", "Branded Disciple", "Branded in Red", and "Branded Lost".
- This monster possesses the wings of "Masquerade the Blazing Dragon" in all of its appearances in the artworks of Spell Cards.
- This card's name, "Aluber" (アルベル Aruberu), is a portmanteau of "Albaz" (アルバス Arubasu) and "Ruber" (Latin for "red").
- This card is a "Despia" counterpart of "Fallen of Albaz".
- Both have the same Level, ATK, and DEF.
- Both have a similar effect focused on Fusion Summoning, and they have opposite associated Spell Cards that can Summon their draconic Fusion forms: "Branded in Red" for this card and "Branded in White" for "Albaz".
- Unlike most of the other "Despia" counterparts, this monster is not a corrupted form of "Fallen of Albaz".
- The flavor text of "Aluber the Dogmatic" implies that "Albaz" may possibly be the other half of this monster, as it describes this monster as a thing separated by the Abyss.
- This monster's hair color (red with white streaks) is also the opposite of that of "Albaz" (white with red streaks).
- The kanji Rakuin (落胤, lit. "illegitimate child") in the Japanese name of "Fallen of Albaz" may refer to how he is the abandoned half of this monster.
- This monster has multiple empowered draconic forms:
- "Despia"-oriented Fiend form: "Masquerade the Blazing Dragon"
- "Fallen of Albaz"-oriented Dragon form(s): "Lubellion the Searing Dragon" → "Alba-Lenatus the Abyss Dragon" (combined with "Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon")
- "Bystial" Dragon form(s): "The Bystial Lubellion" → "The Bystial Alba Los" (combined with "Despian Proskenion")
- The European print of this card erroneously stated that it adds "Despia" Spell/Trap Cards to the hand instead of "Branded" ones, as seen here. This would have essentially rendered this card's effect useless, as all "Despia" support cards are "Branded" Spells/Traps, and the only one that is also a "Despia" card is "Despia, Theater of the Branded". This mistranslation was eventually fixed with an errata.
