- This card is based on Serket, the Egyptian scorpion goddess.
- This card has a counterpart known as "Millennium Scorpion".
- This card is similar to some Field Searchers because it requires "Temple of the Kings" to be on the field, similar to how most Field Searchers need Field Spell Cards on the field.
- Even though it would seem somewhat odd that this card is Angel-Type even though it resembles a scorpion, would seem to be Insect-Type, it should be taken into consideration that this is based off of an Egyptian goddess, but because it was not considered a god card (Divine Beast type), the closest to the typing of gods would be Angel; it makes less sense with the censored English typing of "Fairy". There is also the fact that a scorpion is technically not an insect but rather more closely related to spiders rather than insects.
- Furthermore, when depicted in the anime, this monster displays the capacity to change its shape after consuming an enemy, copying their traits. This ability is more reflective of the ability of many pagan deities to alter their shape when interacting with the mortal world, suggesting that the scorpion form seen in this card's artwork is simply one of many forms the creature is capable of taking.
- This card is seemingly unplayable in the Advanced Format, because it requires Temple of the Kings to be active. However, there are ways to get around this, such as activating "Skill Drain" before this card is Summoned; or by using its destruction as an advantage for a Meklord Emperor.
- This does, sadly, render it functionally into a 6-star monster with standard stats and no abilities, but not able to take advantage of being a Normal monster.
- By using March of the Monarchs, however, this card can be Tribute Summoned while retaining its effects, and it will be protected from destruction and targeting effects.
- This does, sadly, render it functionally into a 6-star monster with standard stats and no abilities, but not able to take advantage of being a Normal monster.
