Card Trivia

 Heliotrope is a mineral commonly called bloodstone. Accordingly, this card is a Gem-Knight monster infected with the lswarm virus.
It's possible that the infected monster is Gem-Knight Emerald, as they have similar appearance and ATK/DEF stats.
The flavor text of this card is written literally reversed (in all languages), indicating that the lswarm infection is powerful enough to completely corrupt the mind of whoever is infected, causing even communication and thoughts to become difficult.
In English, this card's flavor text reads Eliminate! Eradicate! Exterminate!' These are the thoughts of lingering Steelswarm souls, yearning for a body so that they might make their dream a reality.
This text is seen in Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS - Episode 066 as a part of Ignis algorithm  used by Ai in an online message board to decide where to meet with Earth.
While in all TCG languages the entirety of the text is simply reversed including all capitals and punctuation, the OCG languages handle the reversing slightly differently:
In Korean, the punctuation is removed in addition to reversing the words.
In Japanese, the text is further obscured:
The words are reversed.
The punctuation is removed.
The text is written entirely in katakana where kanji and hiragana would normally be more appropriate.
Small characters are replaced with their large counterparts.
To compensate for the lack of usual word boundaries, extra spaces are added.
::: Rewriting all characters in the proper grammar, the text reads 「にしてなるわれらのインヴェルズのなるをめる」 which translates to Our soul, pure yet wicked, Steelswarm's supreme evil thoughts seeks for destruction, catastrophe and the end.
This is the first non-Tribute Normal Summonable monster to have 1950 ATK.
This monster appears in the artwork of Battler's Pride.
