The "Charmers" ("Spirit Envoys" (
Originally, there were only four "Charmers", released in The Lost Millennium (one for each elemental Attribute of FIRE, WATER, WIND, and EARTH, meaning the series was a Four Elements series), until the DARK "Charmer" was released in The Duelist Genesis, and finally, the LIGHT "Charmer" was released in The Shining Darkness. The "Charmers" also have three more advanced series: "Familiar-Possessed", "Tribute Charmers", and "Spirit Arts".
Each "Charmer" features a familiar, a Level 1 or 2 monster with the same Attribute as the "Charmer".

Charmer Deck
A good way of making sure your opponent has monsters of the desired Attribute is by using cards that changes them to the desired one,ex.: "DNA Transplant" or "Scroll of Bewitchment". Then you can use the monster you just got from your opponent to Special Summon the Familiar-Possessed or use them for the Charmers Trap Cards. One good strategy is placing the Charmer monster face-down, then using "Scroll of Bewitchment" to change the enemies monster attribute, Then using "Book of Taiyou" to flip the Charmer and take the monster. The use of "Stumbling" is also recommended as your opponent will Summon to try and attack next turn. Another way to protect your Charmers is with "Swords of Revealing Light". This ensures that not only will your Charmers be safe from attacks, they will also have more face-up monsters to take control of. Also the use of the Extra Deck is a possibility, with cards like "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon", "Number 20: Giga-Brilliant", "Tempest Magician" and "Explosive Magician".
Trivia
- The original four "Charmers", "Aussa", "Eria", "Hiita", and "Wynn", were first released in The Lost Millennium. Two packs later, in Elemental Energy, they had their "Familiar-Possessed" forms released, and their final forms were released two packs after that, in Enemy of Justice. "Dharc" and "Lyna", however, do not follow this trend; "Dharc", which was released in The Duelist Genesis, did not get his "Familiar-Possessed" form until Order of Chaos, some 14 packs later; and "Lyna", which was released in The Shining Darkness, still doesn't have her "Familiar-Possessed" form; neither of them have their final form yet, either.
- Akina Fujiwara designed the "Charmers" (and some other cards), though she did not draw their final forms.
- "Raging Flame Sprite", "Whirlwind Prodigy", "Night's End Sorcerer" and "Droll & Lock Bird" appear to be drawn by her, but aren't considered "Charmers".
- Newer sets have released new incarnations of three of the "Charmers", with "Gishki Ariel", "Winda, Priestess of Gusto", and "Milla the Temporal Magician" bearing obvious similarities to the original "Charmers", even wearing their original outfits with some additions. Whether new versions of the remaining "Charmers" will be made to match has yet to be seen.
- Dharc appears to be the only male charmer in the series
