"'''Predaplant'''", known as "'''Predator Plants'''" ({{Ruby|捕食植物|プレデター・プランツ}} ''Puredetā Purantsu'') in Japan and "'''Predator Plant'''" in the English manga, is an [[archetype]] of [[DARK]] [[Plant]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] used by [[Yuri]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' anime and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V (manga)|manga]]. The archetype is a sub-archetype of the "[[Predap]]" archetype.
==Design==
===Appearance===
[[File:Predaplant.png|200pxthumb|left|thumb250px|[[Yuri]] with "[[Predaplant Moray Nepenthes (anime)|Predaplant Moray Nepenthes]]" and "[[Predaplant Squid Drosera (anime)|Predaplant Squid Drosera]]" in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|anime]]''.]]
The monsters are largely based on [[wikipedia:Carnivorous plant|carnivorous plants]], [[wikipedia:Carrion flower|carrion flowers]], and/or carnivorous animals. Appearance wise, some "Predaplant" monsters have leaf-like mouth parts lined with thorn-like teeth, while their vine-like appendages resemble hands with thorn-like claws; the others have plant and animal characteristics. However, some Predaplant monsters are not based on carnivorous plants or carrion flowers; "[[Predaplant Cordyceps|Cordyceps]]" is based on a parasitic fungus with the same name, "[[Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio|Ophrys Scorpio]]" is based on a type of orchid whose flowers mimic female bees to fool males into pollinating them, "[[Predaplant Banksiogre|Banksiogre]]" is based on a genus of wildflower endemic to Australia, and "[[Predaplant Spider Orchid|Spider Orchid]]" is based on one of the most popular orchids in the trade.
===Etymology===
The names of each monster is a hybridization of an animal and a plant. One of the words used is typically the Latin taxonomic name. The Level 5 and higher monsters are named after mythical creatures (chimera, dragon, hydra) and the revealed Fusion Monsters are named after carrion flowers instead of carnivorous plants. Four "Predaplant" monsters, however, don't seem to follow this trend; "[[Predaplant Cordyceps|Cordyceps]]" is based on a fungus, "[[Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio|Ophrys Scorpio]]" and "[[Predaplant Spider Orchid|Spider Orchid]]" are based on two different orchids, and "[[Predaplant Banksiogre|Banksiogre]]" is based on an Australian wildflower.

==Playing style==
"[[Predap]]" decks focus on swarming "Predaplant" monsters to [[Fusion Summon]] their boss [[Fusion Monster]]s for huge damage, destruction and disruption, while placing [[Predator Counter]]s on the opposing monsters to cripple the opponent and provide additional advantage to the user. Most significantly, the deck has a focus on using the opponent's monsters as tributes or Fusion Materials, fueling the player's own plays while removing opposing monsters.
The most notable effects of the user's "[[Predaplant Chlamydosundew]]" is simply an extra "monsters that interact with opposing monsters with Predator Counters are those that are able to remove opposing monsters with Predator Counters (particularly troublesome monsters that are otherwise diffcult to remove) by [[PolymerizationTribute|Tributing]]them for Special Summoning " when on the Field; one that can also use an opposing Monster with a Predator Counter on it as a [[DARKPredaplant Banksiogre]] " or "[[Fusion MaterialPredaplant Drosophyllum Hydra]]" or as part of some "Predaplant" monsters' effects, making as well as using the Fusion Summon of "opposing monsters as [[Starving Venom Fusion DragonMaterial]]" and with "[[Predaplant ChimerafflesiaChlamydosundew]]" easier, as well as potentially getting rid of an opponent's problematic monster.
Some "Predap" card effects generally support the Fusion Summon of DARK Fusion Monsters. The "Predaplant" Fusion Monsters range from being powerful [[Lonefire Blossombeatstick]]s to having potent disruption effects that interact well with Predator Counters. "Predaplant Chimerafflesia" can [[Special Summon]] another copy steal some ATK of itself a monster when it attacks and can also banish low-Level monsters (i.e. monsters with a Level having Predator Counters), while being able to search a "Fusion" or "Polymerization" Spell should it be used in combination with sent to the GY. "[[Miracle FertilizerPredaplant Dragostapelia]]" (Does not matter if the effect is only used once) to setup can place Predator Counters on monsters at anytime while also negating the Graveyard for activated effects like of monsters while they have Predator Counters. "[[Soul ChargePredaplant Triphyoverutum]]" can negate Extra Deck Special Summons, become a powerful beatstick while more monsters on the field have Predator Counters and it can revive itself from the GY. "Predaplant Ambulomeliodes" can be used to swarm search or recover "Predap" cards and can Special Summon "Predaplants" from the fieldDeck.
As per the with most [[Master Rules#New Master Rules|New Master RulePlant]]decks, the Deck loses its fast Fusion "[[Lonefire Blossom]]" is just as useful for Summoning power, causing them to slow down. However, the needed "Predaplant" Fusion Monsters are relatively strong on their ownmonsters.

===Weakness===
* This archetype relies on Special Summoning, so cards like "[[Vanity's Emptiness]]" will slow the archetype down.
* Cards that take advantage of a Player player controlling low-Level monster will backfire.
* "Predaplant" cards are reliant on [[Predator Counter]]s for their effects. Cards such as "[[Counter Cleaner]]" or using the affected monsters as Materials/Tribute will effectively clean them off.
** Especially [[Link Summon]], which hardly care about the Level of the [[Link Material|Link Materials]].
* Predator Counters does not have much effect on [[Xyz Monster|Xyz Monsters]] s and Link Monsters, as they do not have Levels, but they do hinder [[Xyz Summon|Xyz Summons]] s by changing the levels of the potential [[Xyz Material|Xyz Materialsmaterials]], except for a Rank 1 Monster.** Regardless, Predator Counters can still be used on Xyz or Link Monsters those monsters for effects such as "Predaplanet" and "Predaplant Chlamydosundew".* Pure "Predap" decks typically can't make use of non-Fusion Monsters in their Extra Deck despite having [[Predaplant Verte Anaconda|one Link Monster]] due to "Predapractice".{{Archseries navbox}}{{PredapArchseries navbox (anime)}}{{Archseries navbox (manga)}}{{Archseries navbox (Duel Links)}}
