'''Reptile''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|爬|は}}{{Ruby|虫|ちゅう}}{{Ruby|類|るい}} ''Hachūrui''; Chinese: 爬蟲類族 ''Páchónglèizú'') monsters were once one of the most overlooked and undersupported types, their only real use previously being [[Tribute]] fodder for "[[Ultra Evolution Pill]]". However, with the release of the "[[Alien]]" and "[[Venom]]" [[archetype]]s, Reptiles have come into their own as a [[Type]] that focuses on controlling the opponent with the use of [[Counter]]s.  Many Reptiles focus upon weakening the opponent instead of strengthening themselves, often leaving the opponent powerless.  Because of this, Reptile-based decks and archetypes focus on tactics that reward patience and strategy over simplicity and brute force. The most brutal example of this is found in "[[Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes]]", which, while difficult to get onto the field, brought near-invincibility as well as one of the game's few [[Automatic Win]] conditions.

Later on, the "[[Reptilianne]]" archetype was introduced, taking a new spin on the control concept by replacing Counters with various effects that drop opposing monsters straight to 0 ATK, then using other effects to remove or even take control of those monsters.

Reptile members of the "[[Worm]]" archetype were later added, this time focusing on flip effects which affect the enemies.

Reptiles gain no boost from any [[Field Spell Card]]; however, Aliens do get a helping hand from "[[Otherworld - The "A" Zone]]" , while Venoms benefit from "[[Venom Swamp]]".

Archetypes include "[[Alien]]", "[[Venom]]", "[[Worm]]", "[[Reptilianne]]" and "[[Alligator]]". 

The strongest Reptiles in terms of original ATK are "[[Gogiga Gagagigo]]"/"[[Gagagigo the Risen]]", both at 2950 ATK. Other notable Reptiles are "[[Sinister Serpent]]", "[[Balloon Lizard]]", "[[Reptilianne Vaskii]]", "[[Granadora]]", "[[Serpentine Princess]]", "[[Evil Dragon Ananta]]" ", "[[Cosmic Fortress Gol'Gar]]", "[[Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes]]", "[[Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes]]" and "[[Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua]]". In addition, one of the [[Legendary Planet]] monsters, "[[The Tyrant Neptune]]" is a Reptile.


Support cards include: "[[Offering to the Snake Deity]]", "[[Snake Rain]]", "[[Snake Whistle]]", "[[Rise of the Snake Deity]]", "[[Snake Fang]]" "[[Damage = Reptile]]", "[[Razor Lizard]]", "[[Molting Escape]]" and "[[Alien Brain]]"
