'''Reptile''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|爬|は}}{{Ruby|虫|ちゅう}}{{Ruby|類|るい}} ''Hachūrui'') is a [[Type]] of [[Monster Card]].

==Overview==
 +
As the name suggests, the Reptile Type mostly depicts reptilian monsters of all kinds, either realistic or fantastical, from lizards and snakes like "[[Razor Lizard]]" and "[[Black Mamba]]", to curious creepy crawlers like "[[Worm Rakuyeh]]" and "[[Granadora]]". Due to the nature of serpents as revered and/or feared figures in a number of mythologies and religions, cards based on those figures also appear as Reptiles, such as "[[Evil Dragon Ananta]]", "[[Reptilianne Vaskii]]", and "[[Urubonus, the Avatar of Malice]]". A majority of Reptiles are either [[LIGHT]] or [[DARK]], although they have members in all six primary [[Attribute]]s in the game.
 +
 
 +
Many Reptile cards focus upon weakening the opponent instead of strengthening themselves, limiting the opponent's possible actions and winning the game over the course of a few turns. A famous example of this strategy is found in "[[Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes]]", which, while difficult to get onto the field, is invulnerable to all other card effects and can revive itself if destroyed by battle, and provides one of the game's few alternate win conditions. This tactic is also supported later with the release of the [[Snake]] cards, which focus on weakening the opponent's monsters. A certain subset of Reptile support also play around the concept of Reptiles being stepping stones to go into [[Dinosaur]] monsters, such as the "[[Evolution Pill]]" and "[[Evol]]" themes. Due to the potential of the support Spell [[Snake Rain]], many future Reptile themes and support also encourage filling the GY to the brim with Reptile monsters.

Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes
"Vennominon the King of Poisonous Snakes", a Reptile monster.

Reptile (Japanese: 爬（は）虫（ちゅう）類（るい） Hachūrui) is a Type of Monster Card. It debuted in Starter Box: Theatrical Release in the OCG, Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon in the TCG, and Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!! in Rush Duel.

Overview[edit]

As the name suggests, the Reptile Type mostly depicts reptilian monsters of all kinds, either realistic or fantastical, from lizards and snakes like "Razor Lizard" and "Black Mamba", to curious creepy crawlers like "Worm Rakuyeh" and "Granadora". Due to the nature of serpents as revered and/or feared figures in a number of mythologies and religions, cards based on those figures also appear as Reptiles, such as "Evil Dragon Ananta", "Reptilianne Vaskii", and "Urubonus, the Avatar of Malice". A majority of Reptiles are either LIGHT or DARK, although they have members in all six primary Attributes in the game.

Many Reptile cards focus upon weakening the opponent instead of strengthening themselves, limiting the opponent's possible actions and winning the game over the course of a few turns. A famous example of this strategy is found in "Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes", which, while difficult to get onto the field, is invulnerable to all other card effects and can revive itself if destroyed by battle, and provides one of the game's few alternate win conditions. This tactic is also supported later with the release of the Snake cards, which focus on weakening the opponent's monsters. A certain subset of Reptile support also play around the concept of Reptiles being stepping stones to go into Dinosaur monsters, such as the "Evolution Pill" and "Evol" themes. Due to the potential of the support Spell Snake Rain, many future Reptile themes and support also encourage filling the GY to the brim with Reptile monsters.
