Type
A Type (Tribe or Family ((
Each monster has one Type. There are twenty-three different legal Types in the TCG and OCG. Divine-Beast is exclusive to the Egyptian Gods and was considered Illegal until the first legal-print God Card, "Obelisk the Tormentor", was created; Creator God is exculsive to "The Creator God of Light, Horakhty". Immortal only appears in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses.
"Type" should not be confused with "type", which refers to the three main types of cards: Monster, Spell, and Trap.
