It debuted in ''[[Vol.1]]'' in ''[[OCG]]'', ''[[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]]'' in the ''[[TCG]]'', and ''[[Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!!]]'' in ''[[Rush Duel]]''.  The [[Fiend (Alignment)| japanese Fiend]] [[Alignment]], appearing in some video games, is based on this Type. = 悪魔= Overview ==Fiend monsters consisting of cards resembling demons and devils, as well as many other vile, twisted beasts or mischievous beings. Design-wise, Fiend monsters usually appears either as a classical demonic beings with menacing or otherworldly designs such as "[[Summoned Skull]]" or "[[Dark World]]" monsters, or a strange creatures that would not fall under the [[Beast]] or [[Beast-Warrior]] types, such as "[[Sangan]]" or "[[Kuriboh]]". There are also a substantial amount of Fiend monsters with a strikingly human-like appearance such as "[[Evil★Twin]]" or some "[[Labrynth]]" monsters, either being a human who possess evil powers or a demon who takes a form of a human. A recurring theme of Fiend monsters is their thematically opposition with the [[Fairy]]-type, evident by the former Type primarily comprised of [[DARK]] Attribute, while the latter is mostly of [[LIGHT]] Attribute. Though a substantial amount of Fiends and Fairies ironically features a thematically opposite attribute. With [[LIGHT]] Fiends typically represents demons who have gained divinity status or as a "benevolent" demonic beings, whilst [[DARK]] Fairies represents corrupted or sinister divine beings, respectively. Some themes, such as "[[Despia]]" and "[[Dream Mirror]]", also plays on the duality of these two types by featuring monsters from both types as members. Fiends are one of the most established and powerful Types in the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. As such, there is no specific dueling strategy built around them and their play style, although the majority focus on offensive tactics and destroying the opponent's cards, as well as pressuring the opponent by cornering them with various disruption and lockdown effects, banishing effects, or deck milling. | furigana ==Themes=====''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]''===<div class="columns" style= あくま"column-count:3">* [[Abyss Actor]]* [[Crashbug]]* [[Dark World]]* [[D/D]]* [[Djinn]]* [[Duston]]* [[Edge Imp]]* [[Evil Eye]]* [[Evil HERO]]* [[Evil★Twin]]* [[Fiendsmith]]* [[Frightfur]]* [[From the Underworld]]* [[Impcantation]]* [[Infernoid]]* [[Knightmare]]* [[Labrynth]]* [[Lady of Lament]]* [[Magical Musket]]* [[Malicevorous]]* [[Maju]]* [[Outer Entity]]* [[Plunder Patroll]]* [[Steelswarm]]* [[Tindangle]]* [[Umbral Horror]]* [[Unchained]] * [[Wicked God]]* [[Yubel (archetype)| romaji = AkumaYubel]] ; Mixed* [[Archfiend]]* [[Burning Abyss]]* [[Cubic]]* [[Despia]]* [[Dream Mirror]]* [[Earthbound]]* [[Ghostrick]]* [[Goblin]]* [[Fabled]]* [[Infernity]] * [[Kuriboh (archetype)| japanese translated Kuriboh]]* [[Lswarm]]* [[Resonator]]* [[Ruin & Demise]]* [[Sky Scourge]]* [[Vaalmonica]]</div> = Demon==''[[Rush Duel]]''===* [[Blaze Fiend]] * [[Dice (series)| english Dice]]* [[Royal Rebel's]]* [[Star Knight]] ==Appearance in media= =The following characters use Fiendmonsters across the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' franchise.  {| french style= Démon"width:100%" | german style="vertical-align:top" |===Manga=== Unterweltler ;''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!
