{{Infobox/Archetype/StartAbout|the Type|the card part|""Beast"" (card part)}} | {{Show card image name = | image size = Behemoth the King of All Animals| image caption = "[[Behemoth the King of All Animals]]", a Beast monster.}} '''Beast''' ({{Infobox/Archetype/ExtendedNameRuby|獣|けもの}} ''Kemono'') is a [[Type]] of [[Monster Card]]. It debuted in ''[[Vol.1]]'' in the ''[[OCG]]'', ''[[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]]'' in the ''[[TCG]]'', and ''[[Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!!]]'' in ''[[Rush Duel]]''. | kanji = <ruby><rb>獣</rb><rp>=Overview==The Beast Type consists of various wild animals or animalistic monsters. Just like with [[Insect]]s and [[Plant]]s, they come in many shapes and forms, ranging from those closely resembling what can be found in real life (</rp><rt>けもの</rt><rp>such as "[[Wolf]]" and "[[Rescue Cat]]")</rp><rb>族</rb><rp>to fantastical (<such as "[[Interplanetarypurplythorny Beast]]" and "[[King of the Beasts]]"). Beast monsters are typically [[EARTH]] or [[LIGHT]] Attribute, although each of the six primary Attributes in the game contain Beast monsters. Beast monsters come in many different play styles throughout the history of the game, with many Beast-centric [[archetype]]s and [[series]] focusing on doing different things. However, a number of general Beast support cards generally focus on swarming, with effects that add or Special Summon Beast monsters from other locations, as well as a number of standalone high-Level Beast monsters having the ability to Special Summon themselves through their own effects under specific circumstances. Certain cards also give blanket support toward Beast, [[Beast-Warrior]] and [[Winged Beast]] as a whole. ==Themes=====''[[TCG]]''/rp>''[[OCG]]''===<rtdiv class="columns" style="column-count:2">ぞく* [[Ape]]* [[Baboon of the Forest]]* [[Kangaroo]]* [[Koala]]* [[Melffy]]* [[Mystical Beast of the Forest]]* [[Nordic Beast]]* [[Ojama]]* [[Rescue Squad]]* [[Unicorn]] ; Mixed* [[Bujin]]* [[Crystal Beast]]* [[Cubic]]* [[Dog Marron]]* [[Fabled]]* [[Fire King]]* [[Gladiator Beast]]* [[Heraldic Beast]]* [[Nemleria]]* [[Nimble]]* [[Performapal]]* [[Phantom Beast]]* [[Runick]]* [[Scareclaw]]* [[Scrap]]* [[Sphinx]]* [[Tri-Brigade]]* [[Ursarctic]]* [[Yosenju]]* [[ZW -]]</rt><rp>)</rp></rubydiv> | romanji ===''[[Rush Duel]]''=== Kemonozoku * [[Cat (Rush Duel series)| japanese translated Cat]]* [[Ewekai]]* [[Yakiniku]] ===Anime/manga-only= ==; Mixed* [[Raccoon]] | english ==Appearance in media== The following characters use Beastmonsters across the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' franchise. | french = Bête | german = Ungeheuer | italian = | korean Manga== 야수족 | portuguese = Fera | spanish = ;''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!

;'''Beast'''-Type monsters are often overlooked, but often have great utility. Because they are relatively low in number compared to more popular monster types, there is no one specific theme or strategy common to them, though many have effects that assist them during the Battle Phase. Many Beasts are weaker utility monsters that splash well into other decks, like [[Nimble Momonga]], but a few Beasts are potent on their own, such as "[[Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest]]", which summons itself whenever ANY Beast is destroyed, "[[Master of Oz]]", which is one of the strongest Fusion Monsters available in terms of sheer ATK, and [[Naturia Beast]], which has a potent Spell Card lockdown. One Beast-type card, "[[Rescue Cat]]", was previously only truly useful for setting up [[Ojama]] fusions, but since the release of [[Synchro Monsters]], it has become a nearYu-invaluable staple card in by summoning a [[Beast]]Gi-type [[Tuner MonsterOh! ZEXAL]] and another Beast for an immediate [[Synchro Summon]]. This strategy has been supported in [[Duelist Revolution]] with the inclusion of several cards used by [[Team Unicorn]], where as their deck's are based on Synchro Summoning using mostly Beast monsters to summon their "'* [[Thunder UnicornCathy Katherine]]", "* [[Voltic BicornPip]]", and "* [[Lightning TricornPonta]]", which are all Beast-type synchro monsters.
;''[[Archetype]]s include the [[Ojama|Ojamas]], [[Template:Sphinx|Sphinx]], and [[KoalaYu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]] monsters, and ''* [[The FabledYuya Sakaki]] sub-archetype. In addition, a good portion of the * [[Crystal BeastsSylvio Sawatari]] fall underneath this Type.
