| − | == (Japanese: モンスターカード ''Monsutākādo'') represent monsters that players battle against each other or directly against either player during the [[Battle Phase]]. Monsters are the main focus of Duel Monsters. Monster Cards are differentiated by their names, [[Type]], [[Attribute]], [[ATK]], [[DEF]], [[Level]]/Rank. Furthermore, there are [[Normal Monster]]s, which are monsters that lack effects and aren't any of the other kinds of monsters (except Gemini monsters which are summoned as Normal Monsters, and some [[Pendulum Monster]]s, which can be Normal Monsters), in addition to [[Effect Monsters]], [[Ritual Monsters]], [[Fusion Monsters]], [[Synchro Monsters]], [[Xyz Monsters]] and [[Token Monsters]]. Note that [[Effect Monsters]] cannot also be [[Normal Monsters]] (except for the Gemini monsters, which are capable by their effect to be Normal Monsters and then turn to Effect Monsters), but they can be [[Ritual Monsters]], [[Fusion Monsters]], [[Synchro Monsters]], [[Xyz Monsters]], or [[Pendulum Monster]]s. Also note that [[Ritual Monsters]], [[Fusion Monsters]], [[Synchro Monsters]] and [[Xyz Monsters]] can lack effects, making them unable to be [[Effect Monsters]], but they are not considered [[Normal Monsters]]. In short, a Normal Monster is a card with the Normal Monster card frame (colored yellow). ==

| − | During play, monster cards can be played in either [[face-up]] [[Attack Position]] or [[face-down]] [[Defense Position]]. The importance of monster cards lies in their effects (which usually activate during their controller's [[Main Phase]]) and their [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] values during the [[Battle Phase]] (or more specifically, the [[Damage Step]]).

| − | When a card's text reads a word or phrase in quotation marks followed by monster, it means a monster with the word or phrase in its name. e.g. a "[[Six Samurai]]" monster is a monster with "[[Six Samurai]]" in its card name.
