'''DARK''' ({{Ruby|闇|やみ}} ''Yami'' "Darkness"), [[Monster Card|monsters]] are perhaps the most numerous of all monsters. Many well-known monsters are of the DARK [[attribute]], such as "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]", "[[Jinzo]]" and most of the "[[Red-Eyes]]" [[series]]. [[Fiend]]s and [[Zombie]]s are usually of the DARK Attribute, and so are many [[Spellcaster]]s such as "[[Reaper of Prophecy]]" and "[[Endymion, the Master Magician]]". Although [[LIGHT]] is the polar opposite of DARK, neither side has a true advantage over the other in general, although there are cards such as "[[Luminous Soldier]]", "[[Penumbral Soldier Lady]]", "[[Hoshiningen]]" and "[[Witch's Apprentice]]" which lower the stats of the opposing Attribute. The "[[Ally of Justice]]" [[archetype]] focuses heavily on DARK monsters that power up by destroying LIGHT monsters. DARK monsters have their own [[Structure Deck]] in the [[OCG]], ''[[Structure Deck 12: Curse of Darkness]]''. "[[Consecrated Light]]" also plays against the DARK Attribute by preventing them from being summoned or attacking at all while it is face up, as well as being unable to be destroyed by battle by any DARK monster.

Being one of the most  versatile and common Attributes, DARK monsters and the cards akin to them can work with many different [[Main Deck|Deck]] Types, and rarely does a typical deck lack at least one. Because they are so widespread, DARK monsters have themes comparable to many other Attributes (for example, there are enough burn-damage DARK monsters to rival [[FIRE]] monsters).  However, the one thing that DARK monsters specialize in more than any other Attribute are card effects relating to the [[Graveyard]], often by using it as a resource in some way (though the predominately-DARK "[[Gravekeeper's]]" Archetype notably ''prevents'' the use of the Graveyard as a resource). Most other DARK monsters like "[[Blackwing]]" monsters have swarming abilities that allow you to summon monsters to your field to overwhelm your opponent by numbers in battle.

Notably, the Attribute of the Monsters do not necessarily indicate any sense of morality; such monsters as [[Zure, Knight of Dark World|Zure]] and the [[Dark Magician (archetype)|Dark Magician family]] are either compassionate in nature or are used by heroic characters in the [[anime]]. The "[[Ally of Justice]]" and "[[Destiny HERO]] archetypes are in fact good monsters that dedicate to fighting evil. Further, the "[[Blackwing]]" archetype, a DARK archetype, is used by one of the heroes in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]], [[Crow Hogan]]. Most of the heroes in all of the [[anime]] shows use at least some DARK monsters. This is not necessarily true of all DARK monsters, however, as some DARK archetypes such as "[[lswarm]]" (which actually a majority of them are called "Evilswarm", further indicating they are evil) and "[[Dark World]]" clearly closer represent evil or immorality.

Because they are so widespread, DARK monsters have a very wide range of effects, and overlap with almost all other Attributes (for example, there are enough burn-damage DARK monsters to rival [[FIRE]] monsters). However, the one thing that DARK monsters specialize in more than any other Attribute are card effects relating to the [[Graveyard]], often by using it as a resource in some way (though the predominately-DARK "[[Gravekeeper's]]" Archetype notably ''prevents'' the use of the Graveyard as a resource).

DARK-based archetypes include: "[[Archfiend]]", "[[Ally of Justice]]", "[[Blackwing]]", "[[Dark Scorpion]]", "[[Destiny HERO]]","[[Dark World]]", "[[Gagaga]]", "[[Ghostrick]]", "[[Gravekeeper's]]", "[[Infernity]]", "[[Inzektor]]", "[[lswarm]]", "[[Reptilianne]]" "[[Shaddoll]]", "[[Umbral Horror]]" and "[[Vampire]]".

In some card effects (e.g. "[[Wee Witch's Apprentice]]") and in certain video games, the DARK Attribute is positioned as the opposite of the [[LIGHT]] Attribute.

DARK (闇（やみ） Yami "Darkness") is an Attribute in Yu-Gi-Oh!.

Overview

DARK monsters are commonly thematically associated with conceptual themes of wickedness, mysteriousness, and magic. The Monster Types typically associated with DARK are Fiend, Zombie, and Spellcaster.

Because they are so widespread, DARK monsters have a very wide range of effects, and overlap with almost all other Attributes (for example, there are enough burn-damage DARK monsters to rival FIRE monsters). However, the one thing that DARK monsters specialize in more than any other Attribute are card effects relating to the Graveyard, often by using it as a resource in some way (though the predominately-DARK "Gravekeeper's" Archetype notably prevents the use of the Graveyard as a resource). Most other DARK monsters like "Blackwing" monsters have swarming abilities that allow you to summon monsters to your field to overwhelm your opponent by numbers in battle.

In some card effects (e.g. "Wee Witch's Apprentice") and in certain video games, the DARK Attribute is positioned as the opposite of the LIGHT Attribute.
