"Fluffal", known as "Furnimal" (ファーニマル Fānimaru) in the OCG, is an archetype of EARTH Fairy-Type monsters used by Sora Shiun'in in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

Design

Appearance

"Fluffal" monsters are based off of plush toys with angel-like wings on their backs (except for "Fluffal Owl", who has them on its head), giving them a very cute an innocent appearance, in contrast with their "Frightfur" Fusion Monsters.

Etymology

"Fluffal" is a portmanteau of "fluff" and "animal". Their Japanese archetype name, "Furnimal" is a portmanteau of "fur" and "animal". Their names tend to be their archetype name followed by a species of animal.

Playing style

The "Fluffal" archetype focuses on Fusion Summon tactics, primarily to search out and recycle "Polymerization" while also utilizing cards such as "Edge Imp Sabres" and "Toy Vendor" along with "Fluffal Dog", giving the player easy access to the necessary cards to Fusion Summon "Frightfur" Fusion Monsters. As Fusion Summoning requires a large amount of cards, several "Fluffal" monsters recycle the necessary cards required upon being used as Fusion Material Monsters such as "Fluffal Cat" and "Fluffal Rabbit".

Weaknesses

In lieu of the "Fluffal"s dependent reliance on Fusion Summoning, cards like "Prohibition", "Psi-Blocker", "Armageddon Designator" and "Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell" can easily keel over this Deck, as it can hastily proscribe "Polymerization" and similar Fusion cards. Similarly, "Eradicator Epidemic Virus" can also probe "Fluffal" Decks and eviscerate them of multiple copies of said cards, as a single instance of a Fusion Spell Card is usually nowhere near enough for a Deck like this. The "Frightfur" monsters are also pasturage for cards like "Anti-Fusion Device", "Steelswarm Sting" and "Mispolymerization". The archetype as a whole is also effect-heavy, permitting cards like "Face-Off" (to counter "Fluffal Leo",) "Skill Drain", "Soul Drain" "Skull Meister" and "Effect Veiler" to take advantage. Finally, the archetype as a whole are hundrum in their ATK/DEF stats, with most of the monsters having below-average said statistics for their Levels, making scrimmages against these Decks easy to win unless "Frightfur Bear" can pillage a monster or two to give increments in its offensive clout.
