==Effects==
All "Earthbound Immortal" monsters share the following effect(s):
''There can only be 1 "Earthbound Immortal" [[monster]] on the [[field]]. If there is no face-up [[Field Spell Card|Field Spell]] on the field, [[destroy]] this card. Your opponent's monsters cannot [[Attack target|target]] this card for [[attack]]s. This card can attack [[Direct attack|directly]].''
In the anime, they instead all shared the following effect(s):
''While this card is [[face-up]] on the [[field]], "Earthbound Immortal" [[Monster Card|monsters]] cannot be [[Summon]]ed. If there is no face-up [[Field Spell Card]] on the field, the following effects are [[negate]]d, and this card is [[destroy]]ed during the [[End Phase]]: ● This card can [[attack]] your opponent [[Direct attack|directly]]. ● This card cannot be attacked by your opponent's monsters. ● This card is [[unaffected]] by the effects of your opponent's [[Spell Card|Spell]]/[[Trap Card]]s.''
In the anime, the "Earthbound Immortals'" immunity to attacks, ability to attack directly, and immunity to Spell and Trap Cards is presented as them being incorporeal; [[Yusei Fudo]] attempted to defend his [[LP]] with "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" from "[[Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu (anime)|Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu]]", but "Stardust" flew right through the monster's outstretched hand. This is also presented as a weakness—in the anime (in contrast to the ''TCG''/''OCG''), if a player only controls an "Earthbound Immortal", their opponent can attack them directly (such as when "Stardust Dragon" passed through the body of "[[Earthbound Immortal Uru (anime)|Earthbound Immortal Uru]]" to attack directly).
==Playing style==
The "Earthbound Immortal" monsters are very powerful and have effects that range from inflicting Effect Damage to your opponent while locking their Battle Phase ("[[Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua|Chacu Challhua]]"), to taking control of an opposing monster, as in the case of "[[Earthbound Immortal Uru|Uru]]". Also, all of them can attack their opponent directly and cannot be targeted for attacks.
As powerful as they are, they have some drawbacks: there cannot be more than 1 "Earthbound Immortal" monster on the field at the same time, and they are all destroyed if there is no Field Spell Card active.
If "[[Hardened Armed Dragon]]" is Tributed to Tribute Summon an "Earthbound Immortal" monster, it prevents it from being destroyed by card effects (including its own). Alternately, "[[Earthbound Linewalker]]" can be used to protect "Earthbound Immortal" monsters. "[[March of the Monarchs]]" will also stop them being destroyed by their own effects, as will the effect of "[[Number 66: Master Key Beetle]]". In an emergency situation, "[[Skill Drain]]" can also prevent them from destroying themselves.
Their strategy basically relies on attacking directly and dealing huge damage every turn; if they are protected by cards like "[[Safe Zone]]" or "[[Mound of the Bound Creator]]", there are few ways of stopping them. "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" also works well in this Deck, as it can protect itself while boosting your monsters' ATK by 500. "[[Terraforming]]", and even "[[Ancient Fairy Dragon]]" if used carefully or alongside "[[Field Barrier]]"/"[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]", can assist in making sure you always have Field Spell(s). "[[Ancient Pixie Dragon]]" can also be included to increase draw power as this deck relies on Field Spells.
The "Earthbound Immortal" monsters can all be Summoned easily, due to having no restrictions on Special Summoning them (except the field-unique condition).

The Earthbound Gods are known to to be nearly unbeatable, since their effects negate any chance of a counter attack by a duelist. These effects are tied up in the use of any [[===Weaknesses===Because they depend on Field Spell Cards|Field Spell Card]] and will disappear once being on the field is taken out of play. This is a major weakness but no one has taken advantage of it. The field problem is a major issue in a , cards like "[[Turbo DuelAncient Fairy Dragon]] since it can never be destroyed until the Duel ends.  ", "[[Kyosuke KiryuBlack Rose Dragon]]'s card, " and even "[[Earthbound God - Ccapac ApuMystical Space Typhoon]]", for example, is unaffected by all Spell and Trap cards, but can be stopped by Monster Effects (Althrough the immunity to Spells and Traps was removed in the OCG). "[[Gravity BehemothTwin Twisters]] is a monster designed ", etc. can cause "Earthbound Immortal" monsters to counter the Earthbound Gods by destroying Field Spell cardsdestroy themselves. Cards like "[[Ancient Fairy DragonField Barrier]] is the only one of the " or "[[Five DragonsMalefic Stardust Dragon]] that " can also destroy be used to protect a Field Spell cards by its own effect, and it can gain Life Points for it as wellCard from being destroyedAll Earthbound Gods share a few similar effects. Only one of them can be on the field, the opponent can never attack them, and they can attack the opponent directly (the anime also gives them Cards that cause the aforementioned Spell and Trap immunity). They are instantly destroyed if there is no face-up Field Spell (the anime destroys them at the End Phase and just negates their effects until then). Aside from those, each one has a unique effect, most likely Card to counter or match leave the strategy the duelist each card's controller faced. In the anime, whenever an Earthbound God is Summoned, the bodies and souls of anyone trapped within its respective geoglyph are sacrificed to power its summoning, field without destroying it (such as the people in Satellite who disappeared. Only the "[[SignersShaddoll Dragon]] " and those near them "[[Castel, the Skyblaster Musketeer]]") are spared from this fatestill a threat even with "Field Barrier". This can cause additional problems, as the "Field Barrier" prevents a new Field Spell Card being played while it is active.==See also==*[[Mark of the DragonCard Rulings:Earthbound Immortal]] expands and becomes a red sphere which encloses them. {{Earth}}
