'''Earthbound Immortals''', known as '''Earthbound Gods''' in the OCG and Japanese [[anime]], is an archetype that consists almost entirely of very powerful [[monster]]s. All of them have the common [[effect]] of being able to [[attack]] the opponent [[directly]] , and not cannot being selected as an attack-target. And they,re all level 10 monsters.
Being that all of them have high original ATK, they are often able to easily and brutally thrash opponents. However, this power comes with 2 drawbacks:

The "Earthbound Immortals" are known to to be nearly unbeatable, since their [[effect]]s [[negate]] any chance of a counter [[attack]] by a [[duelist]].
In the real card game, if an "Earthbound Immortal" is the only monster on your opponent's side of the field, you cannot [[declare]] an attack at all unless it's a [[Direct Attacker]], creating a huge advantage for the controller of the "Earthbound Immortal" and thus a one-sided battle.
In the anime, whenever an "Earthbound Immortal" is [[Summon]]ed, the bodies and souls of anyone trapped inside of a geoglyph are sacrificed for its summoning. The sacrificed individuals turn into energy of the same purple colour color as a [[dark mark]], which is absorbed into a floating stone of characteristic shape.
A beam of purple light then descends from the geoglyph in the sky, destroys the stone and strikes the ground, causing the "Earthbound Immortal" to rise from the "Netherworld". This has occurred in both [[Satellite]] and [[New Domino City]];
*There are, however, several conditions under which a person is not absorbed into an "Earthbound Immortal":
** That person is dueling.** That person is a [[Signer]] or aproximate to a Signer.** The "Earthbound Immortal" does not use human sacrifices, as in the following cases:** [[Cusillu]] used the souls of the [[Duel Monsters]] spirits.** [[Chacu Challhua]] used the souls of the people from [[Greiger]]'s village.
Furthermore on the series, there had been speculation about if these people could really come back if the [[Dark Signers]] are defeated.
However after Greiger's defeat, the souls sacrificed for [[Chacu Challhua]] were indeed returned to life and when [[Devack]] lost the souls of the Duel Monsters spirits were returned back into the [[Duel Monsters Spirit World|Spirit World]]. The spirits of the villagers were shown to be suffering inside of the Chacu Challua Challhua during the [[duel]] between Greiger and [[Crow]].
Apparently these Gods are fueled by whatever reason of anger and revenge their corresponding Dark Signer carries. However for the same reason it appears that they disapprove the moment that 1 of these individuals no longer carries on this hatred.
And so they can interfere by taking possession of the Dark Signers body as it occurred to Greiger when he dueled against Crow, after he learns that they are actually the ones that were behind his village's destruction. Wanting to stop the duel, Greiger's body is taken over by [[Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua|Chacu Challua]]'s spirit.
This also happens in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 059|the duel between Jack and Carly]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 061|the Duel between Akiza and Misty]].
However, if the Dark Signer is strong enough, they can maintain contact with other people (Greiger literally breaks the control for a few seconds, [[Carly]] connected through [[Majestic Dragon]] and [[Misty]] used card [[attacksAttack]] s as means of communication.)
[[Rex Goodwin]] doesn't seem to apply in these cases. It can be also noted that each Dark Signer except Misty had 1 of the "Earthbound Immortals" support cards, except [[Roman Goodwin|Roman]] who has several.
*4 activate [[Dark Room of Nightmare]], During each standby phase you will inflict a total of 6000 per turn.
