"'''Snake monster'''" ({{Ruby|蛇|へび}}モンスター ''Hebi Monsutā'') is a group of [[Monster Card]]s originally from the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' manga]]. They were used by [[Seika Kohinata]] and are based on [[wikipedia:Venomous snake|venomous snake]] or [[wikipedia:snake|serpent]] from various mythology.

Just like "[[Yokai]]", it is unclear how Snake monsters are identified in the manga. The Japanese text of "[[Swamp of the Dragon Snake]]" indicates they are a type of Monster Card like [[Toon Monster|Toon]], [[Tuner monster|Tuner]] etc. The Japanese text of "[[Viper's Grudge]]" and "[[Evil Dragon Ananta (manga)|Ananta the Snake Dragon]]" indicates that they are an [[archetype]] like "[[Archfiend]]", "[[Elemental HERO]]" etc., though no Snake Monsters actually have the specified string 「{{Ruby|蛇|じゃ}}モンスター」 or 「{{Ruby|蛇|じゃ}}」in their Japanese names and it is unclear if the two are the same or different from one another. In the International release, the term Snake Monster is removed, instead it is replaced by the term [[Reptile]]-[[Type]] monster, interestingly in the Japanese text of "Viper's Grudge" is that Reptile can be seen with Type (類族) while Snake wasn't.

It is unclear how Snake monsters are identified in the manga; no Snake monster has "{{Ruby|蛇|へび}}" (''Hebi'') in their name, and they are shown to be [[Reptile]] with the effect of "[[Viper's Grudge]]", making "Snake" neither an [[archetype]] nor a [[Type]]. It is possible that "Snake monster" simply refers to a group of monsters based on snakes, without any in-game relation, considering the manga series use lores that greatly differ from ''[[OCG]]'' lores, and often use non-gaming terms in card lores. In the international release, the term "Snake monster" is removed and replaced by the term Reptile monster, possibly to avoid confusion.

"Snake" (へび Hebi) or "Snake monster" (へびモンスター Hebi Monsutā) is a group of Monster Cards used by Seika Kohinata in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga. They are based on venomous snakes or serpents from various mythologies.

It is unclear how Snake monsters are identified in the manga; no Snake monster has "へび" (Hebi) in their name, and they are shown to be Reptile with the effect of "Viper's Grudge", making "Snake" neither an archetype nor a Type. It is possible that "Snake monster" simply refers to a group of monsters based on snakes, without any in-game relation, considering the manga series use lores that greatly differ from OCG lores, and often use non-gaming terms in card lores. In the international release, the term "Snake monster" is removed and replaced by the term Reptile monster, possibly to avoid confusion.
