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 21 different legal Types in the OCG & TCG (and a few made up) so far.
