Fiends (あく Akuma "Demon") are a monster Type. 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, appearing in some video games, is based on this Type.

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.
