'''"Reptilianne"''', known as '''"Reptiless"''' (レプティレス ''Reputiresu'') in the Japanese version and '''Reptile''' during their first appearance in the English [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|anime]], are a is an [[archetype]] of [[Reptile]]-[[Type]] monsters used by [[Misty Tredwell]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''anime. They are [[DARK]] monsters, (with the exception of "[[Reptilianne Gardna]]", who which is [[WATER]], ) that focuses focus on reducing your the opponent's monsters' [[ATK]] to 0, using defensive effects to maintain field presence, and taking advantage of monsters whose ATK is 0. Most of these monsters are named after creatures from Indian or Greek mythology and resemble feminine snake-people or pseudo-reptiles in appearance. The theme and strategy of this archetype is similar to those of the "[[Gorgonic]] " archetype.

Even though they benefit from reducing the opponent's monsters' ATK to 0, only four cards actually do this ("[[Reptilianne Gorgon]]", "[[Reptilianne Naga]]", "[[Reptilianne Medusa]]", and "[[Reptilianne Poison]]") with none of these options causing any inherent advantage. Reducing your opponent's monster to 0 ATK with "Gorgon" or "Naga" is usually damaging to your Life Points as well (without help from [[Spirit Barrier]] or something similar). Furthermore, the archetype has few options against a [[Burn]] Deck that does not use monsters, aside from giving the opponent Tokens for "[[Masked Chopper]]" to destroy.
