"Zoodiac", known as "Twelve Zodiac Beasts" (
"Master Peace, the True Dracoslayer" and "True King Lithosazim, the Disaster" appear to have a relation to this archetype in Duel Terminal Lore, as seen in "Zodiac Sign" and "Seasonal Direction to the Zoodiac", respectively.
Design
Etymology
The name "Jūnishishi" is a play on the terms "Jūnishi" (十二支), which refers to the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac, and "Shishi" (獣), meaning "beast". "Zoodiac" is a portmanteau of the words "zoo" and "zodiac".
Appearance
The "Zoodiac" monsters are based on the Twelve Animals of the Chinese Zodiac, with each monster being a slightly anthropomorphized version of their respective animal. Each monster also wears an oversized gauntlet on either their left or right forearm, with which they wield their own respective weapon.
| Zoodiac | Zodiacal sign | Weapon |
|---|---|---|
| Molmorat | Rat | Rapier |
| Broadbull | Ox | Axe |
| Tigress | Tiger | Cannon |
| Rabbina | Rabbit | Blunderbuss |
| Drancia | Dragon | Halberd |
| Viper | Snake | Whip |
| Thoroughblade | Horse | Sword |
| Ram | Goat | Shield |
| Boarbow | Pig | Bow |
Playing style
The "Zoodiac" monsters in the Main Deck possess effects that allow Beast-Warrior-Type Xyz Monsters they are attached to to gain different effects, ranging from Spell/Trap negation to piercing damage.
The Xyz Monsters of the archetype, meanwhile, all possess variable (?) ATK and DEF, stemming from the sum total of the ATK and DEF of the monsters attached to it as Xyz Material. Furthermore, each Xyz Monster can be Xyz Summoned once every turn by using a different "Zoodiac" monster as the Xyz Material.
The basic premise of the archetype is to stack up as many members as possible as Xyz Materials for their Xyz Monsters, making them gain more ATK/DEF and additional effects for each material they manage to gather.
