EARTH monsters are typically thematically associated with conceptual themes of reliability and industriousness, as well as physical themes that relate to earth and nature. However, EARTH is also often used as a "default" or "neutral" Attribute, applied to monsters whose traits are not significant enough for them to be specifically categorized into any other Attribute.

'''EARTH''' [[Monster Cards|monsters]] are powerful cards focused both on brute strength and rock-solid Defense. EARTH monsters tie with DARK for being among the most numerous and widespread; unless a deck is specifically themed around a particular Attribute, it will almost always have a few EARTH monsters. Decks dedicated to EARTH will often be able to pound an unprepared opponent into the dust; though they rely less heavily upon special effects to win the day, what effects they do have often enhance their combat abilities, such as "[[Ultimate Tyranno]]"'s ability to attack every opposing monster in one turn. [[Dinosaur]], [[Warrior]], [[Rock]], [[Beast]], [[Beast-Warrior]], [[Psychic]], and [[Plant]]-[[Type]]s are the most common Earth monsters, though [[Zombie]] and [[Machine]] are also quite frequent, there are others of many different [[Type]]s. Earth is usually thought of as the opposite of [[WIND]], though there is no direct advantage other than in certain video games (even if this idea also appears in the effects of some cards like "[[Desert Twister]]", "[[Milus Radiant]]" or "[[Bladefly]]"). In a few other contexts it is also seen as the "neutral" element between [[DARK]] and [[LIGHT]], as seen in cards like "[[Sky Scourge Invicil]]", "[[The Paths of Destiny|Warrior Dai Grepher]]" and "[[Warrior of Zera]]".

[[Amazoness]] cards are all EARTH [[Warrior]]-[[Type]] monsters (except for [[Amazoness Tiger]]), and so can use many of the cards that support Earth types, as well as those designed specifically for [[Warrior]]s, and specifically for themselves.

EARTH ( Chi) is an Attribute in Yu-Gi-Oh!.

Overview[edit]

EARTH monsters are typically thematically associated with conceptual themes of reliability and industriousness, as well as physical themes that relate to earth and nature. However, EARTH is also often used as a "default" or "neutral" Attribute, applied to monsters whose traits are not significant enough for them to be specifically categorized into any other Attribute.

The Monster Types typically associated with EARTH are Dinosaur, Warrior, Rock, Beast, Beast-Warrior, Machine, Psychic, and Plant are the most common EARTH monsters, although Insect and Zombie are also quite frequent.

In terms of card effects, cards specifically themed as EARTH (and not as a "neutral" Attribute) typically have effects associated with defense, with many high-DEF monsters having the EARTH Attribute.

In some card effects (e.g. "Missus Radiant") and in certain video games, the EARTH Attribute is positioned as the opposite of the WIND Attribute.
