{{Infobox/Archetype/StartAbout|the Type|the card part|""Beast"" (card part)}} | {{Show card image name = | image size = Behemoth the King of All Animals| image caption = "[[Behemoth the King of All Animals]]", a Beast monster.}} '''Beast''' ({{Infobox/Archetype/ExtendedNameRuby|獣|けもの}} ''Kemono'') is a [[Type]] of [[Monster Card]]. It debuted in ''[[Vol.1]]'' in the ''[[OCG]]'', ''[[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]]'' in the ''[[TCG]]'', and ''[[Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!!]]'' in ''[[Rush Duel]]''.  | kanji = <ruby><rb>獣</rb><rp>=Overview==The Beast Type consists of various wild animals or animalistic monsters. Just like with [[Insect]]s and [[Plant]]s, they come in many shapes and forms, ranging from those closely resembling what can be found in real life (</rp><rt>けもの</rt><rp>such as "[[Wolf]]" and "[[Rescue Cat]]")</rp><rb>族</rb><rp>to fantastical (<such as "[[Interplanetarypurplythorny Beast]]" and "[[King of the Beasts]]"). Beast monsters are typically [[EARTH]] or [[LIGHT]] Attribute, although each of the six primary Attributes in the game contain Beast monsters. Beast monsters come in many different play styles throughout the history of the game, with many Beast-centric [[archetype]]s and [[series]] focusing on doing different things. However, a number of general Beast support cards generally focus on swarming, with effects that add or Special Summon Beast monsters from other locations, as well as a number of standalone high-Level Beast monsters having the ability to Special Summon themselves through their own effects under specific circumstances. Certain cards also give blanket support toward Beast, [[Beast-Warrior]] and [[Winged Beast]] as a whole. ==Themes=====''[[TCG]]''/rp>''[[OCG]]''===<rtdiv class="columns" style="column-count:2">ぞく* [[Ape]]* [[Baboon of the Forest]]* [[Kangaroo]]* [[Koala]]* [[Melffy]]* [[Mystical Beast of the Forest]]* [[Nordic Beast]]* [[Ojama]]* [[Rescue Squad]]* [[Unicorn]] ; Mixed* [[Bujin]]* [[Crystal Beast]]* [[Cubic]]* [[Dog Marron]]* [[Fabled]]* [[Fire King]]* [[Gladiator Beast]]* [[Heraldic Beast]]* [[Nemleria]]* [[Nimble]]* [[Performapal]]* [[Phantom Beast]]* [[Runick]]* [[Scareclaw]]* [[Scrap]]* [[Sphinx]]* [[Tri-Brigade]]* [[Ursarctic]]* [[Yosenju]]* [[ZW -]]</rt><rp>)</rp></rubydiv> | romanji ===''[[Rush Duel]]''=== Kemonozoku * [[Cat (Rush Duel series)| japanese translated Cat]]* [[Ewekai]]* [[Yakiniku]] ===Anime/manga-only=== | english ; Mixed* [[Raccoon]] ==Appearance in media== The following characters use Beastmonsters across the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' franchise. | french ===Manga=== Bête ;''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!
