"Granel" (グランエル Guran'eru) is an archetype of EARTH Machine monsters used by Jakob (and later Aporia) in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. It is a group of monsters that assemble to act as one complete monster, the golem-like robot "Meklord Emperor Granel". The parts themselves resemble marine animals. "Granel" is one of the three "Meklord Emperors", the other two being "Wisel" and "Skiel".

The 5 basic parts are all Level 1 Machine-Type monsters, and in their artworks the monsters are surrounded by a green light. Some parts have upgraded versions: "Skiel Attack 3" and "Skiel Carrier 5". The upgraded forms have higher Levels, corresponding to their numbers. The related card "Grand Core" can easily Special Summon all of the basic parts at once when it is destroyed by a card effect. When assembled, Granel gains ATK equal to its controller's Life Points.

Unlike "Wisel" and "Skiel", all of the "Granel" parts have their own unique effects.

In the TCG and OCG, instead of being 5 separate monsters that combine into one, "Meklord Emperor Granel" is a single Monster Card. "Meklord Emperor Granel" can be Special Summoned when a monster its owner controls is destroyed by a card effect, similar to the effect of "Grand Core". The "Top", "Carrier", "Attack", and "Guard" cards have not been released in the TCG/OCG.

The anime version of Meklord Emperor Granel and all its other parts appear in Tag Force 5, where the other parts support "∞" monsters. In Tag Force 6, Tag Force Special, and Duel Links, "Meklord Emperor Granel" appears as a complete monster, and its other parts appear as separate monsters that support "Meklord Emperor" monsters.
