Type

This article is originally from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki. You can find the original content here.

Types are a means to split monsters into groups (in a broader way to what Attributes do) in order to enable Support Cards granting various effects, to a specific order of monsters.

Each monster has 1 Type, and there are 23 different legal Types (the 22 listed are the ones allowed on this wiki are on this list) in the OCG & TCG (and a few made up) so far. =Real Monster Types=

Nymph
Nymph (妖精 Yōsei, Fairy) monsters are a Type introduced by NovaTsukimori, representing actual fairy creatures that are more earthly in nature, like sprites and sylphs, as opposed to the angelic beings of the Fairy-Type. Outside of Archetypes, Nymph-Type monsters tend to play on the mischievous aspects of the fae, being a Type that usually focuses on stalling and sabotaging the enemy, as well as being able to continue their harassment by replacing themselves upon destruction ("floaters", so to speak).

Ghost
Ghost monsters are a new type. The strategy of Ghost monsters is to either pair up with Spirits or to swarm in the sense Zombies do. Ghost monsters usually represent Spirits, but are not Spirit monsters. They are a little Zombie-like, but they do not really fit in the Zombie-type category. They are usually spirits, souls, and other Ghost-like things.
