'''Trap Monsters''' is a semi-official term used to describe [[Trap Card]]s with effects that [[Special Summon]] themselves as a [[Monster Card]]. In some cases, once the monster has been Summoned, it is both a monster and a Trap Card simultaneously, and in other cases, the Trap Card will simply Special Summon itself as solely a monster card. The card's text will state which is the case.
 +
 +
Examples of Trap Monsters include "[[Zoma the Spirit]]" and "[[The Prime Monarch]]".
 +
 +
==Characteristics==
 +
All Trap Monsters have an effect to Special Summon themselves as a [[monster]]. All Trap Monsters are either [[Normal Trap]]s or [[Continuous Trap]]s—there are no [[Counter Trap]]s that are Trap Monsters.
 +
 +
Depending on the specifics of the effect that Special Summons it, the Trap Monster may Special Summon itself from the [[Spell & Trap Zone]] (when the card is activated) or the [[Graveyard]] (due to the Trap Card's effect). Whether or not the card is still treated as a Trap Card also depends on the effect that Special Summoned it. <!--All Trap Monsters summoned from ST zone do so at card activation; no Trap Monsters are summoned from ST zone from an effect activation separate from their card activation (flip face-up)-->
 +
 +
If a Trap Monster is treated as an [[Equip Card]] from the [[Monster Zone]] (e.g. with "[[Relinquished]]"), it is treated only as an [[Equip Spell Card]], not a Trap Card or Monster Card.{{citation needed}}
 +
 +
===Still a Trap Card===
 +
Trap Monsters that are still treated as Trap Cards after being Summoned include the text "''(This card is also still a Trap.)''" as part of the effect that Special Summons them. All such Trap Monsters are [[Continuous Trap]]s, and are exclusively Special Summoned from the Spell & Trap Zone, at the activation of the Trap Card.
 +
 +
As they are considered both monsters and Trap Cards, these Trap Monsters are affected by effects that affect monsters (e.g. "[[Dark Hole]]") and effects that affect Traps (e.g. "[[Harpie's Feather Duster]]").
 +
 +
Despite being Trap Cards, after being Summoned they only use a Monster Zone and do not use a Spell & Trap Zone. (Prior to the Master Rules April 1st 2020 Revision, they used both a [[Monster Zone]] and a Spell & Trap Zone after being Summoned. However, despite preventing a Spell & Trap Zone from being used, the Trap Monster's card was placed in a Monster Zone and was not considered to be in the Spell & Trap Zone.<ref>{{cite web |title=ストレートフラッシュ {{!}} カードに関連するＱ＆Ａ |trans-title=Straight Flush {{!}} Related Q&A |url=https://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=4&cid=6911&request_locale=ja |website=遊戯王OCGカードデータベース |publisher=Konami |access-date=7 May 2022 |language=ja |date=5 February 2015 |quote=自身の効果によってモンスターゾーンに存在する「アポピスの化神」は魔法＆罠ゾーンに存在するカードではありません。（「ストレートフラッシュ」を発動する事自体ができません。）|trans-quote="Embodiment of Apophis" in the Monster Zone due to its own effect is not a card in the Spell & Trap Zone. }}</ref>)
 +
 +
====Interactions with activation conditions====
 +
If a card or effect that specifically destroys monsters (e.g. "[[Offerings to the Doomed]]", "[[Mirror Force]]") is activated to destroy such a Trap Monster, cards that can only be activated when a monster would be destroyed (e.g. "[[My Body as a Shield]]") can be activated, but cards that can only activate when a Trap would be destroyed (e.g. "[[Fake Trap]]") cannot be activated. Likewise, if a card or effect that specifically destroys Traps (e.g. "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", "[[Heavy Storm]]") is activated to destroy such a Trap Monster, cards that only activate in response to effects that would destroy Trap Cards can be activated, but effects that only activate in response to effects that destroy monsters cannot. If a card or effect is activated that can destroy either monsters or Trap Cards (e.g. "[[Raigeki Break]]"), either of the aforementioned cards can be activated in response.
 +
 +
====Returning to the Spell & Trap Zone====
 +
If such a Trap Monster's Trap effects are [[negate]]d (e.g. due to "[[Jinzo]]", "[[Royal Decree]]"), that Trap Monster returns to the Spell & Trap Zone as a face-up Continuous Trap Card, and remains there face-up—only treated as a Trap Card—even if its effects later cease to be negated.
 +
 +
If such a Trap Monster is [[flip]]ped [[face-down]] after being Special Summoned (e.g. due to "[[Book of Moon]]"), it is [[Set]] in the [[Spell & Trap Zone]] as a Trap Card again.
 +
 +
In either case, if there are no available Spell & Trap Zones for the Trap Monster to be placed in when it is returned there, then the Trap Monster is sent to the Graveyard via game mechanics.
 +
 +
===Not a Trap Card===
 +
Trap Monsters that are not treated as Trap Cards after being Summoned include the text "''(This card is NOT treated as a Trap.)''" as part of the effect that Special Summons them. These Trap Monsters either have an effect that Special Summons them from the Graveyard as a monster (in which case they can be either a Normal Trap or Continuous Trap), or have an effect that Special Summons them upon their card activation (in which case they are always a Normal Trap). All Trap Monsters that Special Summon themselves from the Graveyard specifically are not treated as Traps after being Summoned.
 +
 +
As they are only considered monsters, these Trap Monsters are only affected by effects that affect monsters. If such a Trap Monster is [[flip]]ped [[face-down]] after being Summoned, it is [[Set]] in the [[Monster Zone]] like any other monster.
 +
 +
After being Summoned, they only use a Monster Zone and do not use a Spell & Trap Zone. (This was the case even before the Master Rules April 1st 2020 Revision.)
 +
 +
==Play style==
 +
Trap Monsters, whether as members of a distinct archetype (such as "[[Golden Land]]" Continuous Trap Cards) or simply generic cards (such as "[[Statue of Anguish Pattern]]"), form a slow control-based strategy that attempts to maximize card advantage or some form of utility from each Trap Monster Summoned: whether the individual Trap has its own effect on Summon, or another card, such as "Anguish Pattern", generates support advantage and/or removal.

Trap Monsters is a semi-official term used to describe Trap Cards with effects that Special Summon themselves as a Monster Card. In some cases, once the monster has been Summoned, it is both a monster and a Trap Card simultaneously, and in other cases, the Trap Card will simply Special Summon itself as solely a monster card. The card's text will state which is the case.

Examples of Trap Monsters include "Zoma the Spirit" and "The Prime Monarch".

Characteristics

All Trap Monsters have an effect to Special Summon themselves as a monster. All Trap Monsters are either Normal Traps or Continuous Traps—there are no Counter Traps that are Trap Monsters.

Depending on the specifics of the effect that Special Summons it, the Trap Monster may Special Summon itself from the Spell & Trap Zone (when the card is activated) or the Graveyard (due to the Trap Card's effect). Whether or not the card is still treated as a Trap Card also depends on the effect that Special Summoned it.

If a Trap Monster is treated as an Equip Card from the Monster Zone (e.g. with "Relinquished"), it is treated only as an Equip Spell Card, not a Trap Card or Monster Card.[citation needed]

Still a Trap Card

Trap Monsters that are still treated as Trap Cards after being Summoned include the text "(This card is also still a Trap.)" as part of the effect that Special Summons them. All such Trap Monsters are Continuous Traps, and are exclusively Special Summoned from the Spell & Trap Zone, at the activation of the Trap Card.

As they are considered both monsters and Trap Cards, these Trap Monsters are affected by effects that affect monsters (e.g. "Dark Hole") and effects that affect Traps (e.g. "Harpie's Feather Duster").

Despite being Trap Cards, after being Summoned they only use a Monster Zone and do not use a Spell & Trap Zone. (Prior to the Master Rules April 1st 2020 Revision, they used both a Monster Zone and a Spell & Trap Zone after being Summoned. However, despite preventing a Spell & Trap Zone from being used, the Trap Monster's card was placed in a Monster Zone and was not considered to be in the Spell & Trap Zone.[1])

Interactions with activation conditions

If a card or effect that specifically destroys monsters (e.g. "Offerings to the Doomed", "Mirror Force") is activated to destroy such a Trap Monster, cards that can only be activated when a monster would be destroyed (e.g. "My Body as a Shield") can be activated, but cards that can only activate when a Trap would be destroyed (e.g. "Fake Trap") cannot be activated. Likewise, if a card or effect that specifically destroys Traps (e.g. "Mystical Space Typhoon", "Heavy Storm") is activated to destroy such a Trap Monster, cards that only activate in response to effects that would destroy Trap Cards can be activated, but effects that only activate in response to effects that destroy monsters cannot. If a card or effect is activated that can destroy either monsters or Trap Cards (e.g. "Raigeki Break"), either of the aforementioned cards can be activated in response.

Returning to the Spell & Trap Zone

If such a Trap Monster's Trap effects are negated (e.g. due to "Jinzo", "Royal Decree"), that Trap Monster returns to the Spell & Trap Zone as a face-up Continuous Trap Card, and remains there face-up—only treated as a Trap Card—even if its effects later cease to be negated.

If such a Trap Monster is flipped face-down after being Special Summoned (e.g. due to "Book of Moon"), it is Set in the Spell & Trap Zone as a Trap Card again.

In either case, if there are no available Spell & Trap Zones for the Trap Monster to be placed in when it is returned there, then the Trap Monster is sent to the Graveyard via game mechanics.

Not a Trap Card

Trap Monsters that are not treated as Trap Cards after being Summoned include the text "(This card is NOT treated as a Trap.)" as part of the effect that Special Summons them. These Trap Monsters either have an effect that Special Summons them from the Graveyard as a monster (in which case they can be either a Normal Trap or Continuous Trap), or have an effect that Special Summons them upon their card activation (in which case they are always a Normal Trap). All Trap Monsters that Special Summon themselves from the Graveyard specifically are not treated as Traps after being Summoned.

As they are only considered monsters, these Trap Monsters are only affected by effects that affect monsters. If such a Trap Monster is flipped face-down after being Summoned, it is Set in the Monster Zone like any other monster.

After being Summoned, they only use a Monster Zone and do not use a Spell & Trap Zone. (This was the case even before the Master Rules April 1st 2020 Revision.)

Play style

Trap Monsters, whether as members of a distinct archetype (such as "Golden Land" Continuous Trap Cards) or simply generic cards (such as "Statue of Anguish Pattern"), form a slow control-based strategy that attempts to maximize card advantage or some form of utility from each Trap Monster Summoned: whether the individual Trap has its own effect on Summon, or another card, such as "Anguish Pattern", generates support advantage and/or removal.
