"Frightfur", known as "Death-Toy" (デストーイ Desutōi) in the OCG, is an archetype of DARK Fiend-Type Fusion Monsters used by Sora Perse in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime. The "Frightfur" monsters serve as the "bosses" of both the "Fluffal" and "Edge Imp" archetypes, since the Fusion Materials used for their Fusion Summon reside in these archetypes.
Design
Appearance
"Frightfur" monsters are based off of corrupted versions of animals from "Fluffal" archetype. They feature a destroyed plush toy with the respective "Edge Imp" tools or weapons inside them, giving them a more demonic and terrifying appearance, in contrast to the "Fluffal" monsters. The artwork of "Frightfur Factory" depicts the transformation of "Fluffal" to "Frightfur" monsters. In the TCG and English ARC-V anime, the blades of the "Frightfur" monsters are given a glow to avoid references to actual blades.

Etymology
"Frightfur" is a pun on "frightful" and "fur". Their Japanese name "Death-Toy" directly describes their menacing appearances, and can also be a pun on "destroy".
Playing style
The "Frightfur" monsters can be Summoned by Fusion Summon using "Edge Imp" monsters as the Fusion Material. They rely primarily on "Fluffal" archetype with boosting effects. "Frightfur" also monsters have offensive effects that either boost their ATK or grant additional attacks ("Frightfur Bear", "Frightfur Sabre-Tooth" "Frightfur Wolf"), destroying cards on the opponent's field ("Frightfur Tiger", "Frightfur Leo") prevents the opponent from activating cards or effects when they attack ("Frightfur Sheep"), and even steal away an opponent's monster by equipping them to themselves or Special Summon them to their controller's field ("Bear", "Frightfur Chimera").
"Frightfur" monsters have a small weakness in having specific "Edge Imp" monsters for Fusion Materials (outside of "Chimera"), but cards like "Fusion Reserve" and "Fusion Conscription" can help you in getting your needed "Edge Imps" to the hand, and "Fluffal Sheep" helps in recycling both your "Edge Imp" and "Fluffal" monsters. All five of the "Edge Imps" possess helpful abilities on their own, such as "Edge Imp Chain" searching your "Frightfur" Spell and Trap support whenever it hits the Graveyard, "Edge Imp Saw" providing extra draw power, and "Edge Imp Tomahawk" being able to substitute for any of the other "Edge Imp" monsters should they not be available in the hand or field.
The Deck responds badly to too many out of archetype cards, as they cannot be fused with, and the other Summoning methods are not nearly as important as your Fusion Summoning.
