'''Dragon Ninja''' ({{Ruby|竜|りゅう}}の{{Ruby|忍者|にんじゃ}} ''Ryū no Ninja'') is a sub-series of the "[[Ninja]]" [[archetype]].
+
'''Spell Monsters''' are a type of [[Spell Card]] that is [[Special Summon|Special Summoned]] as a [[Monster Card]] after it is activated. Most of them are [[Continuous Spell Card]]s.
  
Despite being "Ninja" monsters, members of this series are not the traditional [[Warrior]]s. Instead, they each are of a different Type that would allow them to be Special Summoned by "[[Ninjitsu Art of Transformation]]" or "[[Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation]]".
+
All of these cards are treated as both [[Monster Card]]s and Spell Cards while they are summoned to the field, and as such, take up both a [[Monster Card Zone]] and a [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]] at the same time.
  
All members of this series are based on their masked counterparts (known as "[Color] Ninja" in Japanese), and each appears to wield a different golden-colored Japanese weapon.
+
Spell Monsters cannot be activated on your opponent's turn, making them unable to perform the "Emergency" Defense that [[Trap Monster]]s can. They can instead provide an immediate source of [[Tribute Fodder]], much like some cards do already, like "[[Fiend's Sanctuary]]".

No Spell Monsters exist in the ''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]'', as those that received a release were either changed to Special Summon another appropriate monster from the Deck ("[[Sage's Stone]]" and "[[Mimiclay]]") or turned into a Trap Monster ("[[The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil]]"), instead.

Spell Monsters are a type of Spell Card that is Special Summoned as a Monster Card after it is activated. Most of them are Continuous Spell Cards.

All of these cards are treated as both Monster Cards and Spell Cards while they are summoned to the field, and as such, take up both a Monster Card Zone and a Spell & Trap Card Zone at the same time.

Spell Monsters cannot be activated on your opponent's turn, making them unable to perform the "Emergency" Defense that Trap Monsters can. They can instead provide an immediate source of Tribute Fodder, much like some cards do already, like "Fiend's Sanctuary".

As shown in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX they can be used as Fusion Material, as Jaden was able to fuse his "Elemental HERO Neos" with "The Rival's Name" (which was being treated as "Rainbow Dragon") to create "Rainbow Neos".

In Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL and ARC-V, they are shown to be able to be used as Xyz Material, with Fortuno overlaying "Xyz Plant" with "Rainbow Shaman" to Summon "Number 11: Big Eye" in ZEXAL, and Yuto overlaying two copies of "The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil" to Summon "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" in ARC-V.

No Spell Monsters exist in the TCG/OCG, as those that received a release were either changed to Special Summon another appropriate monster from the Deck ("Sage's Stone" and "Mimiclay") or turned into a Trap Monster ("The Phantom Knights of Shadow Veil"), instead.
