"Gimmick Puppet" (ギミック・パペット Gimmikku Papetto) is an archetype of mechanical toy-like monsters that are used by Quattro in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. They are a sub-archetype of the "Puppet" archetype. The monsters and associated cards are geared towards Summoning Level 8 monsters to Xyz Summon their ace monsters, "Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder", "Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings, and "Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo".

"Gimmick Puppet" monsters don't have high ATK (except "Gimmick Puppet Egg Head"), but have effects ranging from stalling, swarming and Summoning monsters to the opponent's side of the field. Their main strategy seems to be taking advantage of the opponent's monsters with high ATK to deal Effect Damage with their ace monsters, "Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings" and "Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder". "Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo" offers an alternate victory strategy with its effect. "Gimmick Puppet" monsters tend to be high Leveled and can often Special Summon themselves, enabling the Xyz Summon of the Rank 8 "Numbers" that part of the archetype.

So far, the only "Gimmick Puppet" monsters used by Quattro that have been released in the OCG or TCG are "Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll", "Gimmick Puppet - Magne Doll", "Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder", "Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings", and "Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo", though other cards can be supported by the anime-only support cards.
