→Non-physical cards: distinguish between cloned monsters and ones created purely by a card effect, rule of negating the effect of something that created non-physical monsters
* An original monster upgraded by the effect of a card, such as "[[Thousand Dragon (manga)|Thousand Dragon]]" and [[Toon monster]]s
* Monsters that are multiple monsters joined together, such as [[Fusion Monster]]s<ref name="d 97">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|97|ref}}</ref> and "[[Gate Guardian (manga)|Gate Guardian]]"
* Monsters that are clones of other monsters on the field, such as those Summoned by "[[Kaleidoscope (manga)|Kaleidoscope]]" or "[[Multiply (manga)|Multiply]]"* Monsters that are summoned purely by the effect of another card, such as "[[Harpy Lady 2 (manga)|Harpy Lady 2Sheep]]" and or "[[SheepSlime]]".
The original monster or monsters that a non-physical monster is a form of will remain on the field. For example if a player forms "[[Black Skull Dragon (manga)|Black Skull Dragon]]" by fusing "[[Red-Eyes Black Dragon (manga)|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]" and "[[Summoned Skull (manga)|Summoned Skull]]", the physical "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" and "Summoned Skull" cards remain on the field, but will not exist as separate monsters. They will just act as the unified "Black Skull Dragon".<ref name="d 97" /><ref name="d 105" /><ref group="note">This is also supported by Kaiba including all 3 "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (manga)|Blue-Eyes White Dragons]]" and "[[Polymerization (manga)|Polymerization]]" when counting the amount of cards he had in play, while he had "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (manga)|Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]"</ref>
A Spell that produces non-physical monsters remains on the field. If its effect gets negated the monsters it created are removed. e.g. if "[[Mask of Dispel (manga)|Mask of Dispel]]" is used on "[[Multiply (manga)|Multiply]]", the duplicate monsters created by "Multiply" disappear.<ref name="d 186">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|186|ref}}</ref>
If a [[Spell Card]] produces non-physical monsters, that card and all the monsters it Summoned can be used as a sacrifice for a [[Tribute Summon|Sacrifice Summon]]. The number of monsters Summoned count as the number of sacrifices. e.g. If "[[Jam Breeding Machine (manga)|Jam Breeding Machine]]" produces 3 "[[Slime (manga)|Slimes]]", the "Jam Breeding Machine" will count as 3 sacrifices for the Sacrifice Summon and the "Slimes" will all be sacrificed with it.<ref name="d 172">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|172|ref}}</ref>
