'''DARK''', known as ({{Ruby|闇|やみ}} '''Darkness'Yami'' in the [[OCG]], [[monsters]] are perhaps the most numerous of all monsters. Many well-known monsters are of the Dark attribute, such as "[[Dark Magician of Chaos]]" and "[[Jinzo]]". [[Fiend]]s and [[Zombie]]s are usually DARK types and so are all members of the "[[Destiny HERO]]" and "[[Ally of Justice]]" archetypes. Many [[Spellcaster]]s are also DARK, such as "[[Dark Magician]]" and "[[Dark Magician Girl]]". Most of the Darkness"[[Red-Eyes]]" monsters are also DARK. Although [[LIGHT]] ) is the polar opposite of DARK, neither side has a true advantage over the other in general, although there are cards such as "an [[Luminous Soldier]]", "[[Penumbral Soldier Lady]]", "[[Hoshiningen]]" and "[[Witch's ApprenticeAttribute]]" which lower the stats of the opposing Attribute. The "Ally of Justice" archetype focuses heavily on DARK monsters that power up by destroying LIGHT monsters. DARK monsters have their own Structure Deck in the [[OCG]], ''[[Structure Deck 12: Curse of Darkness]]Yu-Gi-Oh!''. "[[Consecrated Light]]" also plays against the DARK Attribute by preventing them from being summoned or attacking at all while it is face up, as well as being unable to be destroyed by battle by any DARK monster.

Being one ==Overview==DARK monsters are commonly thematically associated with conceptual themes of the most versatile and common Attributeswickedness, mysteriousness, DARK monsters and the cards akin to them can work with many different magic. The Monster [[Main Deck|DeckType]] Types, and rarely does a typical deck lack at least one. Because they are so widespread, s typically associated with DARK monsters have themes comparable to many other Attributes (for example, there are enough burn-damage DARK monsters to rival FIRE monsters). However, the one thing that DARK monsters specialize in more than any other Attribute are card effects relating to the [[GraveyardFiend]], often by using it as a resource in some way (though the predominately-DARK "[[Gravekeeper'sZombie]]" Archetype notably ''prevents'' the use of the Graveyard as a resource). Most other DARK monsters like ", and [[BlackwingSpellcaster]]" monsters have swarming abilities that allow you to summon monsters to your field to overwhelm your opponent by numbers in battle.

Because they are so widespread, DARK monsters have a very wide range of effects, and overlap with almost all other Attributes (for example, there are enough burn-damage DARKmonsters to rival [[FIRE]] monsters). However, the one thing that DARK monsters specialize in more than any other Attribute are card effects relating to the [[Graveyard]], often by using it as a resource in some way (though the predominately-based Archetypes include DARK "[[Gravekeeper's]]"Ally Archetype notably ''prevents'' the use of Justice", the Graveyard as a resource). Most other DARK monsters like "[[Blackwing]]", monsters have swarming abilities that allow you to summon monsters to your field to overwhelm your opponent by numbers in battle. In some card effects (e.g. "[[ChaosWee Witch's Apprentice]]") and in certain video games, the DARK Attribute is positioned as the opposite of the [[LIGHT]] Attribute. ==Themes=====''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]''===<div class="columns" style="column-count:3">* [[Abyss Actor]]* [Cyberdark[Ally of Justice]]* [[Ashened]]* [[Blackwing]](excluding ", [[Blackwing - Aurora the Northern Lights]]")* [[Borrel]]** [[Rokket]]* [[Cyberdark]]* [[Danger!]]* [[Dark Magician (archetype)|Dark Magician]]* [[Dark Scorpion]]", "* [[Dark World]]* [[Darklord]]* [[Destiny HERO]]* [[Dinomorphia]]* [[Evil Eye]]* [[Exodia]]* [[Eyes Restrict]]* [[Flower Cardian]]* [[Ghostrick]]* [[Gimmick Puppet]] (excluding "[[Gimmick Puppet Egg Head]]", and "[[Dark WorldGimmick Puppet Gear Changer]]", ")* [[Gravekeeper's", "]]* [[Infernity]]* [[Inzektor]]* [[Jinzo (archetype)|Jinzo]]* [[Labrynth]]* [[Lunalight]]* [[Malefic]]* [[Nouvelles]]* [[Orcust]]* [[Pendulum Dragon]] (excluding ", [[Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]]")* [[Predaplant]]* [[SteelswarmRaidraptor]]* [[Rebellion (archetype)|Rebellion]]** [[Xyz Dragon]]* [[Red-Eyes]] (excluding ", [[Red-Eyes Wyvern]]")* [[GagagaReptilianne]]", "* [[JinzosStarving Venom]]", "** [[YubelsFusion Dragon]]", "* [[VerzSupreme King]]" and "Zombie" as well as * [[The Phantom Knights]]* [[Time Thief]]* [[Topologic]]* [[Umbral Horror]]* [[Vampire]]* [[Vendread]]* [[World Legacy]] (excluding "[[Dark counterpartWorld Legacy Guardragon Mardark]]s". )</div>
