"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 "Mesmerizing Maneater" archetype, and is also supported (or rather, "anti-supported") by the effect of "Goblin Pothole Squad".

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. "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.

Trivia

A knight, orange goblin, and/or green goblin appear in most of the artworks of "Trap Hole" cards, except "Deep Dark Trap Hole" ("Goyo Guardian") and "Void Trap Hole" (the three Dragons of "Ice Barrier"):
