Articuno is the legendary ice bird of the Kanto region, said to appear before doomed travelers lost in icy mountains. This Ice/Flying-type can create blizzards by freezing moisture in the air with its beautiful wings. The card's "Freeze Dry" attack could potentially paralyze opponents while dealing damage. Articuno's elegant design and ice-blue coloring made it one of the most visually stunning cards in the Fossil set, representing the beauty and danger of winter.
