It was often mistaken that this monster was male, until its Duel Spirit, Yasmin was revealed in the anime as female. In addition, if one looks closely at the card art, the faint outline of the monster's breasts can be visible. This does not necessarily imply that all Gravekeeper's Assailants are female, however.
This monster was Tributed in Royal Tribute and was resurrected as Night Assailant.
A Gemini Summoned Infinity Dark has the same effect as this card, but without the dependence on Necrovalley.

OCG Rulings
You can only activate this card's effect during its own attack declaration.: Effect Monster > Gravekeeper's Assailant
This card's effect target
"Gravekeeper's Assailant" changes Attack Position to Defense Position or vice-versa. It cannot flip a monster face-down because that is not a change of battle position.
You make the change of battle position due to "Gravekeeper's Assailant" at the beginning of the attack, so you can change the battle position even if the attack is then negated by "Magic Cylinder", etc.
If "Imperial Order" and "Necrovalley" are both in play, "Necrovalley" is still on the field so you can still activate the effect of "Gravekeeper's Assailant".
The effect of "Gravekeeper's Assailant" targets 1 monster.
If "Gravekeeper's Assailant" attacks, and activates its effect to change the battle position of the opponent's "Spirit Reaper", then "Spirit Reaper" is destroyed by its own effect. Then a replay occurs because the potential attack targets on the opponent's side of the field were changed. In this case, "Gravekeeper's Assailant" can attack again, and can activate its effect again.
If "Necrovalley" is on the field, an attack is declared with "Gravekeeper's Assailant", and the effect of "Gravekeeper's Assailant" is activated, and "Mystical Space Typhoon" is chained to the effect to destroy "Necrovalley", the effect of "Gravekeeper's Assailant" is still applied because "Necrovalley" only had to be on the field to activate the effect.
Necrovalley: If the effect of "Necrovalley" is negated by "Imperial Order", then cards that require "Necrovalley" on the field, such as "Gravekeeper's Assailant", etc., can still apply their effects because "Necrovalley" is still on the field.
