==Etymology==
''Thēríon'' (θηρίον) is the Greek word for "wild animal" or "beast". It refers to the archetype's theme of the [[wikipedia:Zodiac|western zodiac]]. The English word "zodiac" is derived from the Greek term ''zōidiakòs kýklos'' (ζῳδιακός κύκλος; lit. "circle of little animals"), which reflects the prominence of animals among the [[wikipedia:Astrological sign|twelve signs]].
==Playing style==
The "Therion" archetype revolves around Special Summoning high-[[Level]] monsters of various [[Type]]s from the hand by equipping them with monsters from the GY, and having "Therion" monsters gain other members' individual effects by equipping them to themselves. Secondarily, the archetype revoles revolves around interactions specifying "[[Endless Engine Argyro System]]", who itself is an archetype-specific "[[Foolish Burial]]".
Each "Therion" monster, except "[[Therion Irregular]]", can be [[Special Summon]]ed from the [[hand]] by targeting a "Therion" monster or a monster with their respective Type in the [[Graveyard]], after which they immediately [[equip]] the targeted monster to themselves. "[[Therion Irregular]]" instead targets and equips up to 3 "Therion" monsters to Special Summon itself, and only targets "Therion" monsters.
As a focused Deck, the "Therion" archetype benefits from milling-based engines to set up the GY, such as "[[P.U.N.K.]]" or "[[Ogdoadic]]"-based "[[Chaos Ruler, the Chaotic Magical Dragon|Chaos Ruler]]" / "[[The Zombie Vampire]]" milling combos. Alternatively, the Deck can focus on using a "[[Lonefire Blossom]]" and "[[Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio]]"-based Plant engine to turbo out "Lily" Borea for consistent searches.
Individual "Therion" monsters can also be splashed into other typing-based Decks as extenders and combo toolsor boss monsters, in particular Plants and Machines via "Lily" Borea and "King" Regulus.
