''This is the information page for Spatial Monsters in YGOPRO. For Spatial Monsters in real life, see Spatial.''

Spatial (スペーシュル Supeeshuru; displayed as on Japanese cards) is a new monster type for the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters'' card game created by Lyris1064. Spatial Monsters have a bright, hot pink frame and are stored in the Extra Deck, and they cannot be sent to the Graveyard by any means. Spatial Summoning can be conducted by banishing a monster(s) on the controller's side of the field using a mathematical operator on their indicator and ATK and/or DEF. This operator is located on the bottom-left corner of their artwork. Each operator in a Spatial Summon can only be used once per turn. A player can only control 1 Spatial Monster in general at a time.

The Spatials' indicator is called a Dimensional Number and it's different from other the indicators (Level, Rank, Wavelength, Hierarchy, etc.) because it's formatted differently: #th Dimension. Dimensional Numbers are centered on the card in the form of purple spirals inside pink orbs. When subtracting indicators for a Spatial Summon, their Dimensional Number becomes a Dimensional Negative Number, and those are formatted like this: Negative #th Dimension. Negative Dimensions look like pink spirals inside green orbs. When the Dimensional Number or Dimensional Negative Number exceeds 13, one of these orbs will be enlarged, and the number is put inside of it in a similar manner to an Evolute Monster's Stages.

Whenever a Spatial Monster with a positive Dimension would be sent to the Graveyard, they lose 1 Dimension instead. Whenever a Spatial Monster with a Negative Dimension would be sent to the Graveyard, they gain 1 Dimension instead. If the Dimensional Number would reach 0, the monster is banished. Spatial Monsters cannot be Tributed until this can happen.

Pendulum Spatial Monsters
The operator for Pendulum Spatial Monsters is located to the top-right of their artwork instead. They do not have the trait that makes them lose Dimensions because they are sent back to the Extra Deck face-up instead of going to the Graveyard. These monsters can be Tributed for the same reason. Most Pendulum Spatial Monsters have this effect: If this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can destroy as many cards in your Pendulum Zones as possible (min. 1), and if you do, place this card in your Pendulum Zone.

Base text for YGOPRO
x = the Dimensional Number, [ ] = placeholders
 * Traits: You can only Special Summon 1 Spatial Monster per turn this way. If another Spatial Monster is on the field, banish this card. This card cannot be Tributed unless it is 1st Dimension. If this card would be sent to the Graveyard, it loses 1 Dimension instead. If it cannot, banish it. If you cannot banish cards, send this card to the Extra Deck instead of banishing.
 * Addition Spatial procedure: You can Special Summon this card by banishing 2 monsters you control while the sum of their [indicator(s)] is equal to x.
 * Subtraction Spatial procedure: You can Special Summon this card by banishing 2 monsters you control while the difference between their [indicator(s)] is equal to x.
 * The larger indicator is always subtracted first.
 * Multiplication Spatial procedure: You can Special Summon this card by banishing 2 monsters you control, and if you do, this card's ATK and DEF each become equal to the respective sums of those monsters' respective ATK and DEF.
 * Division Spatial procedure: You can Special Summon this card by banishing 1 monster you control while the scientific notation of its [stat(s)] when divided by its [indicator] is about equal to x.
 * This Scientific Notation is rounded to the leftmost digit.

Known Issues

 * If banishing is impossible while a Spatial Monster is attached to an Xyz monster, they are still sent to the Graveyard.
 * The 'fix' sends the Spatial monster(s) to the Extra Deck as soon as it is sent to the Graveyard. Continuous effects and optional Trigger effects (with "If" not "When") that trigger upon card(s) hitting the Graveyard still work.
 * The Negative Dimension of Spatial Monsters are treated as positive Dimensions.

Trivia

 * Spatial monsters and Spatial Summoning have been changed a lot since the first revision of it.
 * Spatial Summoning was originally a regular Special Summoning by banishing monster(s). Then it became a Normal Summon from the Extra Deck for a while. This conflicted with the game's rules, so it was reverted back to a Special Summon.
 * Originally, they were unable to be sent to the Graveyard at all. This was changed after negative feedback about this.
 * Their traits could be copied and/or disabled. This was a coding bug/flaw.
 * The number of Spatial monsters that could be put onto the field has dramatically decreased over time.
