  • This monster has an upgraded form, "Sunlit Sentinel", as supported by the following:
    • They both wear the same damaged blue ushanka.
    • They both have effects that can Set themselves as Spell Cards in the Spell & Trap Zone, and can Special Summon themselves from the Graveyard to destroy an opponent's card(s).
    • Their Japanese names only differ by 1 syllable:
      • のスナイパー (Hakugin no Sunaipā, lit. "Snow-Silver Sniper"), localized as "Silver Sentinel".
      • のスナイパー (Hakuchū no Sunaipā, lit. "Midday Sniper"), localized as "Sunlit Sentinel".
  • This card's effect reflects its sniper motifs: it can "hide" as a face-down Spell Card in the Spell & Trap Zone, only "emerging" when it is destroyed and destroying an opponent's card in turn after it Special Summons itself.
  • Before the advent of "Artifact" monsters in Primal Origin, this card and "Toy Magician" were the only monsters that could Set themselves to the Spell & Trap Zone as a Spell Card, with "Toy Magician" predating this card's release by more than 6 years.
