"Trap Hole", known as "Pitfall" (落（お）とし穴（あな） Otoshiana) in the OCG, is an archetype of Trap Cards 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 the "Fascinating" archetype, and is also supported (or rather, "anti-supported") by the effect of "Goblin Pothole Squad".

Note that "Chaos Trap Hole" is not considered a member of this archetype, since its Japanese name translates to "Chaos Hole" and doesn't include "Pitfall" in its name. "Dark Trap Hole" is also not a member of this archetype due to the Japanese name, its Japanese name has the kanji 大 in between 落とし穴 thus creating 落とし大穴.
