[[File:Kartana SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kartana's body is made out of material resembling paper!]]
Kartana is a small [[Ultra Beast]] that resembles an {{wp|origami}} human. It appears to be folded out of a sheet of paper which is white on one side and orange on the other. Its head is folded slightly inside its body and has a four-sided star in the center, but no discernible facial features. Its head opens and closes similar to a paper fortune teller and seems to function as both an eye and a mouth. On top of its head are two short antennae or horns that are wider at the top. It has long, thin arms that resemble katanas with a yellow, sheath-like structure around the upper area. The sheath connects to a red, slightly raised hexagon on its torso. Extending up and out from the base of each sheath are three yellow projections that are nearly as long as its arms. Its legs appear creased with areas of red visible along the edges. Kartana's light, thin build makes it one of the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest Pokémon]] in existence.

Kartana's light, thin build makes it one of the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest Pokémon]] in existence.


Despite its small size compared to the other Ultra Beasts, Kartana is extremely dangerous, as every edge of its body is incredibly sharp. It is able to cut down a gigantic steel tower with one stroke of the blades on its arms, and any opponents that try to attack it will be similarly cut apart. According to [[Wicke]] of the [[Aether Foundation]], its light, paper-like body allows it to evade most attacks by simply floating out of the way, but it also makes it highly vulnerable to fire and moisture. As seen in the [[SM124|anime]], Kartana can open [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and has the ability to speak, only backwards. For a brief time, it was the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] that could learn {{m|Cut}} by leveling up.<!--Do NOT move this to the trivia section, every Pokémon has their signature move mentioned here-->
Kartana live in another world named [[Ultra Forest]]. [[Wicke]] from the [[Aether Foundation]] describes Kartana's capabilities as such:
 
<blockquote>Its most distinctive feature is its thin and razor-sharp body, of which every edge has as cruel a cutting edge as any well-honed blade. The edges on its arms are particularly in a class of their own.<br>Any opponent who tries to attack it will be cut down with a single strike of its “blades.” Its thin body also allows it to evade attacks by dancing lightly out of the way. This is a very dangerous creature, considering its excellent offensive and defensive capabilities, but due to the nature of its body, it is also highly vulnerable to fire and moisture.</blockquote>
==In the anime==
Wicke further claims that Kartana, like all Ultra Beasts, stores an energy within its body similar to the aura seen around [[Totem Pokémon]].<ref>[[Wicke]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}:''"When the UBs pass through the Ultra Wormhole, they are bathed in a great deal of this energy and likely store it within their bodies."''</ref> This energy is called [[Z-Power]]. As seen in ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', Kartana can open [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and has the ability to [[Talking Pokémon|speak the human language]], albeit in reverse. For a brief time, it was the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] that could learn {{m|Cut}} by leveling up.<!--Do NOT move this to the trivia section, every Pokémon has their signature move mentioned here-->

====Major appearances====

Kartana debuted in ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', appearing in [[Alola]] through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. It started slicing through various objects across [[Melemele Island]], prompting {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} to embark on their eighth mission as the [[Ultra Guardians]]. Their efforts to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it ended in failure and were soon overshadowed by a meteor falling towards the [[Pokémon School]]. Unexpectedly, Kartana sliced the meteor into small, harmless pieces before it could hit the building, saving the school from being damaged. Afterwards, it created itself a new Ultra Wormhole by repeatedly slicing the air in rapid succession, and then returned itself home.
