'''Fusion Materials''' (formerly named '''Fusion-Material Monsters'''<ref>[http://yugioh-eg.ueuo.com/rulebook_v05.pdf Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card Game - OFFICIAL RULEBOOK Version 5.0]</ref>, and then '''Fusion Material Monsters'''; Japanese: {{Ruby|融|ゆう}}{{Ruby|合|ごう}}{{Ruby|素|そ}}{{Ruby|材|ざい}} ''Yūgō Sozai''), are [[monster]]s that are used for the [[Special Summon]] of a [[Fusion Monster]]; the required Fusion Materials are listed on the Fusion Monster's card.
While Fusion Materials are usually can be specific monsters, occasionally, the required monsters are more vaguegeneral; such as "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]", simply requiring any five [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] monsters; or "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]", requiring "[[Cyber Dragon]]" and one or more [[Machine]]-Type monsters.
Listed Fusion Materials are monsters specifically named on a Fusion Monster as materials; non-specific Fusion Materials, such as those of "[[Ojama Knight]]", cannot be targeted by cards that specify listed Fusion Materials such as "[[Centrifugal Field]]".
[[Fusion Substitute Monster]]s such as "[[King of the Swamp]]" can replace one named Fusion Material. If a Fusion Substitute Monster is used, all other Fusion Materials used in the fusion [[Fusion Summon]] must be correct. However, monsters whose name is being treated as a listed Fusion Material (e.g. "[[Elemental HERO Prisma]]") are treated as correct and not as Fusion Substitute Monsters. Fusion Substitute Monsters can only replace specifically named Fusion Materials; as such, a Fusion Substitute Monster cannot be used in the Fusion Summon of "[[Evil HERO Dark Gaia]]" as it does not name any monsters, and can only replace "[[UFOroid]]" in the Fusion Summon of "[[UFOroid Fighter]]".
Fusion Materials can be used even if the summon is not a Fusion Summon. Cards in the [[Hex-Sealed Fusion]] [[series]] [[Tribute]] themselves and the other necessary Fusion Materials specified on a Fusion Monster to Special Summon it, but this Special Summon is not treated as a Fusion Summon. [[Contact Fusion]] is also a type of Special Summon that uses Fusion Materials to Summon a Fusion Monster, but is not a Fusion Summon.
