- This cards artwork was done by Joe Ng and was colored by Chilean artist Gonzalo Ordóñez Arias aka Genzoman, making this one of the first and only card who's artwork wasn't created by a Japanese artist alongside Ancient Dragon who's art and coloring were done by Genzoman.
- This is the very first Normal Monster in the game that has it's flavor text written in poetic form, as opposed to a simple description of the monster.
- It is also the first Normal Monster to have its text not go to the end of the lines, but rather to leave space at the end of the lines (left unjustified).
- It's more than likely that Artorigus is based on King Arthur due to him pulling the mythical sword from the stone, which depending on sources is sometimes considered to be the legendary sword Excalibur (the sword in this card's artwork it looks like the "Legendary Sword" or a magical upgraded version of it).
- Artorigus is Old English For Arthur.
- This card may have been designed to make the Xyz Summon of "Blade Armor Ninja" easier, (when used with "Rescue Rabbit") along with "Heroic Champion - Excalibur". Both monsters are Rank 4 and require Warrior-type materials.
- This card will be featured as a promotional card at the Galactic Overlord Sneak Preview event, making it the second Normal Monster with such a distinction ("Alexandrite Dragon" was the first).
- The poem written on this card is very similar to the poem "Morte d'Arthur".
