For the main classifications of cards (Monster, Spell, or Trap), see Card type. For the classification of Monster Cards according to the color of the card frame, see Monster card type.
Various monsters of the Beast-, Beast-Warrior-, and Winged Beast Types in the artwork of "The Big Cattle Drive".

Type (種（しゅ）族（ぞく） Shuzoku, lit. "tribe"; shortened to 族（ぞく） -zoku when used as a suffix) is a characteristic of Monster Cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! media and card games. It represents the monster's "biological" grouping, and are involved in card effects in the card games.

In the North American English version of Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories, Type is referred to as Class, abbreviated to Cl. This is changed to Type and Tp respectively in the European English version.[note 1]

List

The following Types have appeared throughout various games. The list is initially ordered roughly by first appearance of each Type.

The "manga" column only refers to Duel Monsters in the Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! R, and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX series, as later entries fully match the Type roster of the OCG.

The "DDM" column refers to the real-world, manga, and video-game versions of Dungeon Dice Monsters.

Non-game Types

These Types are only mentioned in cards not intended for use in Duels, so they are only meant as tongue-in-cheek references and are not considered valid for gameplay purposes (even if those cards are printed in real life), such as for card effects that require the player to declare a Type's name.

Card text

In the OCG and TCG, when a Type is mentioned in a card text, it is suffixed with "-Type". From Starter Deck: Link Strike onward, this was dropped in the TCG. Western versions of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links use "-Type" in most cards' texts, even some that were printed after Link Strike and never included it in TCG.

The international versions of Rush Duel cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! RUSH DUEL: Dawn of the Battle Royale!! and Duel Links do not use the hyphen, including the flavor text of the Normal Monster "Summoned Skull".

Rush Duel

There are 29 different Types in Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel; they include all Types from the OCG/TCG, except for Illusion, Divine-Beast, and Creator God.

Five of these types (all newly-added ones) are exclusive to certain Fusion Monsters, which are thematically fusions of other Types:
