Union Monsters can be recognized by the fact that, where on a normal Effect Monster it would read 'Effect', Union Monsters have 'Union'. Cards such as Dark Necrofear or Kiseitai act as equip cards but do not have the text designating them Union Monsters.

Union monsters are a special type of Effect Monster with (type)/Union in their card text. They can function like an Equip Spell Card (Or just an Equip Card), and thus become vulnerable to cards that destroy Spell Cards, such as Mystical Space Typhoon. They generally grant the host Monster additional strength, such as an increase in ATK/DEF. All Union Monsters Destroy themselves to protect the host monster if it would be Destroyed while equipped.

The Union Monsters introduced the XYZ card set (which would later include V and W), which had a new way of using their Fusion Monsters. This unorthodox method involves removing the Fusion Materials from play to Special Summon the Fusion Monster from the Fusion Deck (This is not considered Fusion Summon).

Here is a list of union cards:
