clarifying why Traptrix don't specifically support this archetype in the TCG
}}
"'''Trap Hole'''", known as "'''Pitfall'''" ({{Ruby|落|お}}とし{{Ruby|穴|あな}} ''Otoshiana'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', is an [[archetype]] of [[Trap Card]]s having "Trap Hole" in their names. These cards are counterparts of the original "[[Trap Hole]]". With the notable exception of "[[Adhesion Trap Hole]]", most "Trap Hole" cards have [[effects]] that [[destroy]] 1 or more [[monsters]] under certain conditions. This archetype is supported by all international texts of "[[Goblin Pothole Squad]]" (or rather, "anti-supported" in this case), and only the Japanese text of "[[Traptrix]]" archetype. In the TCG, it is treated a sub-archetype of the "[[Hole]]" archetype, as all cards that support "Hole" cards also support "Trap Hole" cards.
Note that "[[Chaos Trap Hole]]" and "[[Gemini Trap Hole]]" belong to the "[[Hole]]" archetype instead of this one, since their Japanese names translate to "Chaos Hole" and "Gemini Hole" respectively, and don't include "Pitfall" in their translated names. "[[Darkfall]]" (formerly known as "Dark Trap Hole") is also not a member of this archetype since its Japanese name has the kanji 大 in between 落とし穴 thus creating 落とし'''大'''穴.
