'''Fusion Materials''' (formerly named '''Fusion-Material Monsters''',<ref>[http://yugioh-eg.ueuo.com/rulebook_v05.pdf Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game - OFFICIAL RULEBOOK Version 5.0]</ref> and then '''Fusion Material Monsters'''; Japanese: {{Ruby|融|ゆう}}{{Ruby|合|ごう}}{{Ruby|素|そ}}{{Ruby|材|ざい}} ''Yūgō Sozai''), are [[monster]]s that are used for the [[Special Summon]] of a [[Fusion Monster]]. If a Fusion Monster has Fusion Materials, they are listed on the first line of the [[card text]].

==Listing==
While Fusion Materials can be specifically named monsters, they can also be more general. For example, "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]" simply requires 5 [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] monsters, and "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" requires 1 "[[Cyber Dragon]]" and 1 or more [[Machine]]-Type monsters.

Listed Fusion Materials are monsters specifically named on a Fusion Monster as materials; cards that specify listed Fusion Materials, such as "[[Centrifugal Field]]", cannot affect Fusion Monsters that do not specifically name Fusion Materials, such as "Five-Headed Dragon".

==Usage==
Fusion Materials can be used even if the Summon is not a [[Fusion Summon]]. Cards in the [[Hex-Sealed Fusion]] [[series]] [[Tribute]] themselves and the other necessary Fusion Materials specified on a Fusion Monster to Special Summon it, but this Special Summon is not treated as a Fusion Summon. [[Contact Fusion]] is also a type of Special Summon that uses Fusion Materials to Summon a Fusion Monster, but is not a Fusion Summon.

[[Face-down]] monsters on the field can be used as Fusion Materials, as long as they are controlled by the player performing the Fusion Summon and the card performing the Summon allows it.<ref name="Perfect Rulebook p72">{{cite book  |author=Konami  |title=Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game - Perfect Rulebook 2015 |url=https://ygorganization.com/perfectrulebook/ |page=72}}</ref>

[[Fusion Substitute Monster]]s such as "[[King of the Swamp]]" can replace one named Fusion Material. If a Fusion Substitute Monster is used, all other Fusion Materials used in the Fusion Summon must be correct. However, monsters whose name is being treated as a listed Fusion Material (e.g. "[[Elemental HERO Prisma]]") are treated as correct and not as Fusion Substitute Monsters. Fusion Substitute Monsters can only replace specifically named Fusion Materials; as such, a Fusion Substitute Monster cannot be used in the Fusion Summon of "[[Evil HERO Dark Gaia]]" as it does not name any monsters, and can only replace "[[UFOroid]]" in the Fusion Summon of "[[UFOroid Fighter]]".

There are also several monsters which [[cannot be used as a Fusion Material Monster]].
