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]]''.{{Infobox/Archetype/ExtendedName | 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=== | english ; Mixed* [[Raccoon]] ==Appearance in media== The following characters use Beastmonsters across the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' franchise. | french = Bête | german = Ungeheuer | italian = | korean = 야수족 | portuguese Manga= Fera | spanish = | arabic = حيوان}}{{Infobox/Archetype/;''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!R]]'' | list = List of Beast* [[Maico Kato]] ;''[[Yu-Type monsters | support list = List of BeastGi-Type Support Cards 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 and sent to the graveyard, ===Anime===<div class="[[Master of Oz]]columns", which is one of the strongest Fusion Monsters available in terms of sheer ATK, and style="[[Naturia Beast]]", which has a potent Spell Card lockdown. One Beastcolumn-type card, count:2">;''[[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 BeastGi-type [[Tuner Monster]] and another Beast for an immediate [[Synchro Summon]]. This strategy has been supported in [[Duelist Revolution]] with the inclusion Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of several cards used by [[Team UnicornLight]], where as their deck's are based on Synchro Summoning using mostly Beast monsters to summon their "'* [[Thunder UnicornAnubis]]", "[[Voltic Bicorn]]", and "[[Lightning Tricorn]]", which are all Beast-type synchro monsters.

;''[[Archetype]Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]s include the [[Ojama]]s, ''* [[SphinxChumley Huffington]], the * [[KoalaChazz Princeton]] monsters, * [[Nordic BeastsJesse Anderson]] and [[The Fabled]] sub-archetype. In addition, a good portion of the * [[Crystal BeastWheeler]]s fall underneath this Type.

Some other respectable Beast-[[Type]] monsters are ";''[[SuperYu-Nimble Mega Hamster]]", "[[Zeman the Ape King]]", "[[Earthbound Immortal Cusillu]]", "[[Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest]]", "[[Yellow Baboon, Archer of the Forest]]", "[[Bazoo the SoulGi-EaterOh! 5D's]]", "''* [[Berserk GorillaLuna]]", "* [[King Tiger WanghuDevack]]", "* [[Outstanding Dog Marron]]", "[[Mosaic Manticore]]", "[[Behemoth the King of All Animals]]", "[[Rescue Cat]]", "[[Neo-Spacian Dark PantherTeam Unicorn]]" and "* [[Voltic KongDragan]]".

===Moja Deck===A Moja deck is based around three TCG-Exclusive cards released in [[Raging Battle]]; "''[[MojaYu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]", "[[King of the Beasts]]", and "''* [[Beast Striker]]". The idea is to have a King of the Beasts in the graveyard and continuously re-summon Moja so that King of the Beasts can continually revive itself no matter how many times it is destroyed. An example decklist can be found [http://www.konami.com/yugioh/blog/?p=1037 here]. See also [[Moja Madness!Naoki Shima]]

For this deck, you can use cards such as:* [[Kinka-byo]]: Not only is this a Beast, but its effect allows the re-summon of [[Moja]] over and over - meaning you can special summon one King of the Beasts every turn and get this card back for later use.* [[Lock Cat]]: Not only is this a Beast, but its effect allows the special summon of [[Moja]] meaning you can special summon one King of the Beasts.* [[Key Mouse]]: It can search out "[[Moja]]" to your hand, and other monster like [[Kinka-byo]], [[Lockat]] and [[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]] benefits from Moja's effect.* [[Giant Rat]]: It can search out "[[Moja]]", and benefits from Moja's effect in return.* [[Super-Nimble Mega Hamster]]: It can search out "[[Moja]]", [[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]], [[Key Mouse]] or other Beast monsters LV3 or lower in face-down position and benefits from Moja;'s effect in return.* [[Rescue Cat]]: This also searches out "[[Moja]]", and can be retrieved by Moja in turn.* [[X-Saber Airbellum]]: It can be special summoned by "[[Rescue Cat]]" for an easy synchro summon. Its discard effect is also quite powerful.* [[Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest]]: With even more ATK than [[King of the Beasts]], and an easy recursion effect, this is a handy card to have. Use it with [[Rescue Cat]]'s drawback to keep a monster on the field at turn's end, combo it with [[Giant Rat]] and [[Moja]], and much more.* [[Yellow Baboon, Archer of the Forest]]: Not as good as [[Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest|Green Baboon]]. It can only be summoned from your hand, and requires the removal of Beasts from your graveyard Yu- not necessarily a good thing, because they can be very useful there. However, Yellow Baboon isn't a bad card.* [[Mosaic Manticore]]: Summons "[[Moja]]" and another monster so you recycle your monster, but be sure that your monster has an effect that actives in graveyard like [[Key Mouse]] and [[Giant Rat]].* [[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]]: It's a BeastGi-type monster, with a nasty flip effect that can mill [[King of the Beasts]] or [[Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest]]. If this card is destroyed and you mill Green Baboon, the baboon can be instantly summonedOh! Also works with Rescue Cat - you can special summon a level 5 synchro monster when this card is paired with [[X-Saber Airbellum]].* [[Creature Swap]]: Perfect for this deck. It works incredibly well with [[MojaSEVENS]], because of Moja's low ATK and good effect. And you steal your opponent's monster into the bargain. Giant Rat, Kinka-byo and Key Mouse is also very good for this purpose.* [[Foolish Burial]]: Instantly puts a [[King of the BeastsKit Schrödinger]] or a [[Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest]] into the graveyard for later use.* [[Pot of Avarice]]: You'll be discarding with [[Beast Striker]], milling with [[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]], thinning the deck with [[Giant RatCaterpillio Elephantis]] and [[Rescue Cat]] - this is perfect to use. With Pot of Avarice, Beast Striker's effect can be used more than just 3 times.* [[Solidarity]]: Buffs "[[King of the Beasts]]" to 3300 ATK, and allows you to destroy cards more easily. The drawback is not being able to use cards like "[[Sangan]]" or "[[Card Trooper]]".* [[Imperial Iron Wall]]: Cards cannot be removed from play, so [[Moja]], [[King of the Beasts]], [[Green Baboon, Defender of the ForestBriscoe]] and other monsters cannot be removed.

Some suggestions of cards to use for this deck:== See also ==* [[Rescue Cat]]: One of the key cards in this deck. It can be used to search out most List of the monsters in the deck and is essential for pulling off an OTK.

Very useful with "[[Rescue Cat]]".* [[Hyena]]: Another very important monster if your deck is based around swarming beasts, it can give a powerful combo with "[[Rescue Cat]]" and "[[Creature Swap]].* [[Chain Dog]]: Another very important beast if your deck is based around swarming beasts, Special Summons from your Graveyard If you control exactly 2 face-up Beast-Type, combine with [[X-Saber Airbellum]] and synchro [[Voltic Bicorn]]* [[Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter]]: Mills 3 cards and destroys a card, a perfect fit for this deck* [[Naturia Beast]]: An easy-to-summon [[Synchro Monster]], as most cards in this deck are earth. It shuts down spells and mills 2 cards each time, which is another perfect fit. It's also very easy to summon with "Rescue Cat"* [[Key Mouse]]: Can search out most cards in the deck* [[Giant Rat]]: Can search out a lot of cards, including "[[Rescue Cat]]".* [[Inferno Reckless Summon]]: Can be extremely useful in combination with such cards as "[[Milus Radiant]]".* [[Spiritual Earth Art - Kurogane]]: Can pull a [[Rescue Cat]] from your grave, which you can cycle for two more cards. It can also get a "[[Milus Radiant]]", which you can use "[[Inferno Reckless Summon]]" on for two more.* [[Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest]]: A useful card that can be used in combination with [[Rescue Cat]]'s ability, which destroys the monsters at the end of the turn.* [[Gaia Power]]: A free attack boost to your whole field.* [[X-Saber Airbellum]]: A beast-type tuner that can be searched out with [[Rescue Cat]].* [[Sea Koala]]: Can help destroy any attack position monster on the opponent's side List of the field.* [[Closed Forest]]: one poweful field for swarming beasts down deck, because all face-up Beast-Type monsters you control gain 100 ATK for each monster in your Graveyard and neither player can activate Field Spell Cards. Field Spell Cards cannot be activated during the turn this it is destroyed.* [[Spiritual Forest]] Each turn, the first face-up Beast-Type you control that would be destroyed by battle is not destroyed. This card will protect the first Beast extremely useful for several combo.* [[Level Limit - Area B]]: Can be used for stalling, but can hinder "Green Baboon". On the bright side, it doesn't stop "[[Naturia Beastsupport cards]]'s" effect.* [[Poison Fangs]] Each time a List of Beast-Type monster inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent, inflict extra 500 damage.* [[The Big March of Animals]]: It can give up to a most of your 1000 ATK boost to your whole field.* [[Wild Nature's Release]] Increase the ATK of 1 Beast by an amount equal to its DEF. Destroy the monster during the End Phase of the turn that this card is activated. after you can pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest from your hand or the Graveyard.* [[Solidarity]]: An extra 800 ATK each is amazing and can stack up quickly.* [[Gravity Bind]]: See above "[[Level Limit anti- Area Bsupport cards]].:''This deck can also be built using [[Royal Decree]]; just take out most of the traps and put these in.''{{Gameplay}}
