"'''Fluffal'''", known as "'''Furnimal'''" (ファーニマル ''Fānimaru'') in the [[OCG]], is an [[archetype]] of [[Fairy]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] used by [[Sora Perse]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' anime and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V (manga)|manga]].

==Design==

===Appearance===

"Fluffal" monsters are based off of plush toys with angel-like wings on their backs (except for "[[Fluffal Owl]]", who has them on its head, "[[Fluffal Penguin]]" who sports them as a bow-tie, "[[Fluffal Wings]]", who itself is a set of wings), giving them a very cute and innocent appearance, in contrast with their "[[Frightfur]]" Fusion counterparts.

===Etymology===

"Fluffal" is a portmanteau of "fluff" and "animal". Their Japanese archetype name, "Furnimal" is a portmanteau of "fur" and "animal". Their names tend to be their archetype name followed by a species of animal.

==Playing style==

This archetype focuses on [[Fusion Summon]] tactics, primarily to search out and recycle "[[Polymerization]]" while also utilizing cards such as "[[Edge Imp Sabres]]" and "[[Toy Vendor]]" along with "[[Fluffal Dog]]", giving the player easy access to the necessary cards to Fusion Summon "[[Frightfur]]" [[Fusion Monster]]s. As Fusion Summoning requires a large amount of cards, several "Fluffal" monsters help to quickly gain card advantage (such as "[[Fluffal Dog]]" and "[[Fluffal Wings]]") and recycle the necessary cards required upon being used as [[Fusion Material Monster]]s (such as "[[Fluffal Cat]]" and "[[Fluffal Rabbit]]").

The "[[Frightfur]]" monsters can be Fusion Summoned using "[[Edge Imp]]" monsters as the [[Fusion Material]]. They rely primarily on "Fluffal" archetype with boosting effects. "Frightfur" monsters also have offensive effects that either boost their [[ATK]] or grant additional attacks ("[[Frightfur Bear]]", "[[Frightfur Sabre-Tooth]]", "[[Frightfur Wolf]]", "[[Frightfur Tiger]]"), destroying cards on the opponent's field ("[[Frightfur Tiger]]", "[[Frightfur Leo]]"), prevents the opponent from activating cards or effects when they attack ("[[Frightfur Chimera]]", "[[Frightfur Sheep]]"), and even steal away an opponent's monster by equipping them to themselves or Special Summon them to their controller's field ("[[Frightfur Bear]]", "[[Frightfur Chimera]]").

"Frightfur" monsters have a small weakness in having specific "Edge Imp" monsters for Fusion Materials (outside of "Chimera"), but cards like "[[Fusion Reserve]]" and "[[Fusion Conscription]]" can help you in getting your needed "Edge Imps" to the hand, and "[[Fluffal Sheep]]" helps in recycling both your "Edge Imp" and "Fluffal" monsters. All five of the "Edge Imps" possess helpful abilities on their own, such as "[[Edge Imp Chain]]" searching your "Frightfur" Spell and Trap support whenever it hits the Graveyard, "[[Edge Imp Saw]]" providing extra draw power, and "[[Edge Imp Tomahawk]]" being able to substitute for any of the other "Edge Imp" monsters should they not be available in the hand or field.

* "Fluffals" rely on Fusion Summoning to be effective, so cards that stop the use of "[[Polymerization]]" or "[[Frightfur Fusion]]" such as "[[Prohibition]]", "[[Psi-Blocker]]", "[[Armageddon Designator]]", "[[Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell]]",etc. will shut them down.

** To an extent, cards that prohibit Special Summon, "[[Vanity's Emptiness]]" will slow them down. Or just use "[[Non-Fusion Area]]" in Synchro or Xyz-centric decks.

* "Frightfur" monsters are vulnerable to cards like Fusion Monster Anti-Support cards.

* The archetype as a whole is also effect-heavy, permitting cards like "[[Face-Off]]" (to counter "[[Fluffal Leo]]",) the aforementioned "Skill Drain" and "Soul Drain", "[[Skull Meister]]" and "[[Effect Veiler]]" to take advantage.

* Cards that have banishing effects such as "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" and "[[Macro Cosmos]]", or prevent banished monsters (such as "[[Necrovalley]]") can also prevent "Frightfur" monsters from being easily summoned.
