[[Kyosuke Kiryu]]'s card, [[Earthbound God - Ccapac Apu]], for example, is unaffected by all Spell and Trap cards, but can be stopped by Monster Effects (Although the immunity to Spells and Traps was removed in the OCG). [[Gravity Behemoth]] is a monster designed to counter the Earthbound Gods by destroying Field Spell cards. [[Ancient Fairy Dragon]] is the only one of the [[Five Dragons]] that can also destroy Field Spell cards by its own effect, and it can gain Life Points for it as well.
All [[Earthbound Immortals]] share a few similar effects. Only one of them can be on the field, the opponent can never attack them (course if the only monster on the player's field is an Earthbound Immortal then the opponent can wage a direct attack, as shown in [[episode 46|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 046|episode 046]]), and they can attack the opponent directly (the anime also gives them the aforementioned Spell and Trap immunity). They are instantly destroyed if there is no face-up Field Spell (the anime destroys them at the [[End Phase]] and just negates their effects until then). Aside from those, each one has a unique effect, most likely to counter or match the strategy the duelist each card's controller faced.
In the anime, whenever an [[Earthbound Immortal]] is Summoned, the bodies and souls of any non-dueling person trapped within its respective geoglyph shapped fire ring are sacrificed to power its summoning. This has occured in both Satellite and Neo Domino City. It is unknown what happens to the sacrificed people. However after Yusei Fudo's [[Shadow Duel]] against Rudger concludes, it appears that the Signers finally learn something about this matter. As according to the preview to episode 47, those who were used to summon this evil entities, may come back to life once their rivals are defeated.
