'''DARK''' monsters are perhaps the most numerous of all monsters. Many well-known monsters are of the Dark attribute, such as [[Dark Magician of Chaos]] and [[Jinzo]]. [[Fiend]]s and [[Zombie]]s are usually DARK types and so are all the [[Destiny Hero]]es and [[Ally of Justice|Allies of Justice]]. Many [[Spellcaster|Spellcasters]] are also DARK, such as the "[[Dark 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, as well as the recent archetype [[Allies of Justice]] which focuses heavily on DARK monsters that power up by destroying LIGHT monsters.

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. However, it can be said that many DARK cards have something to do with [[Spell Cards]] and the like, perhaps reflective of the mysterious and shadowy nature of darkness, coupled with the great number of DARK [[Spellcaster]]s. DARK monster decks often have abilities relating in some way to the use of the [[Graveyard]] as well, depending on the Archetype in question, by using it as a resource in some way (though the all-DARK [[Gravekeeper's]] Archetype notably ''prevents'' the use of the Graveyard as a resource).

There are many all-DARK archetypes, but they tend to also be restricted to monsters of a particular [[Type]].  The only multiple-type archetype to focus on DARK monsters in general are the "[[Dark counterparts]]", composed of DARK versions of many existing popular monsters.

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.

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

Overview[edit]

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.
