"'''Monarch'''" ({{Ruby|帝|てい}}{{Ruby|王|おう}} ''Teiō''), is an [[archetype]] of [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]] that support [[Tribute Summon]]ed monsters like the "[[Monarch (series)|Monarch]]" [[series]]. It was first introduced in ''[[Cosmo Blazer]]''; after ''[[Shadow Specters]]'' introduced the "Mega Monarchs", these cards' artwork show how the "Monarchs" transformed into the "Mega Monarchs".
Due to its Japanese name, "[[Emperor of the Land and Sea]]" falls into this archetype. Despite having "Monarch" in their English names, the monsters in the "Monarch" series are not a part of this archetype due to their Japanese names. However, because ''[[TCG]]'' and ''[[OCG]]'' support for this archetype only works on [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s in the [[Main Deck|Deck]], neither of these cases currently has an impact on gameplay.
