The Winged Dragon of Ra
"The Winged Dragon of Ra", a Divine-Beast monster.

Divine-Beast (Japanese: 幻（げん）神（しん）獣（じゅう） Genshinjū, "Phantom God Beast"), simply called God (Japanese: 神（かみ） Kami) in the manga, is a Type of Monster Card.

It debuted as the V Jump February 2009 promotional card in the OCG, and the Shonen Jump Vol. 8, Issue 1 promotional card in the TCG. While Divine-Beast monsters were printed as far back as in 2000 as promotional cards for the three separate versions of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelist, they were unusable collector's cards that are officially considered Illegal.

As such, all Divine-Beast monsters possess the DIVINE Attribute.

Support cards for the Type deal with easing the Summon of the Egyptian Gods, as well as helping the player in protecting and strengthening them once they hit the field.
