This is the information page for Spatial Monsters in real life. For Spatial Monsters in YGOPRO, see the Category for Spatial Monsters.
Spatial (スペーシュル Supeeshuru; displayed as
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 outside of the Japanese OCG: #th Dimension or 1st/2nd/3rd Dimension in the case of Dimensional Numbers 1-3 (次元第#). Dimensional Numbers are centered on the card in the form of pink spirals inside light blue orbs: .
All Spatial Monsters are indestructible once, but higher Dimensional Numbers can avoid more destructions: one more time for every Tribute that is normally required to Tribute Summon a monster with the same Level as a Spatial Monster's Dimensional Number. If a Spatial Monster(s) would be sent to the graveyard, they are banished, instead.
Pendulum Spatial Monsters
Warning: Outdated
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.
Examples
- Starry-Eyes Spatial Dragon: 7th Dimension
- Astral Dragon of Stellar Vine : 8th Dimension
- Clarissa, Queen of Stellar Vine & Girl of Stellar Vine
- Osa, Princess of Stellar Vine: 4th Dimension
- Jackie, Maiden of Stellar Vine & Elder Entity Norden
Rulings
- If a Spatial Summon is negated, the Spatial Monster that was going to be Summoned is still banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard.
- If a Spatial Monster becomes an Xyz Material and it is detached, it is banished instead of going to the Graveyard.
- If banishing becomes impossible by a means such as Imperial Iron Wall, then the Spatial Summon also becomes impossible.
Trivia
- The pink color of the Spatial monsters is brighter than the pink on a Trap Card.
- Spatial sounds similar to Special, and was therefore chosen for the new card type name.
