Yu-Gi-Oh 10 Monster Cards That Look Nothing Like Their Type
Yu-Gi-Oh is a trading card game that has stood the test of time. But some of the monsters aren't exactly matched with the right types... is a card game that has been around for a couple of decades and withstood the test of time by . As with and card game, especially the older ones, there are hundreds, if not thousands of different cards, all adding their unique flavor to the game. However, sometimes some aspects of the cards don't make as much sense as they probably should, making players scratch their heads and wonder how the card got printed in the first place. In this list, we will specifically take a look at monster cards who look nothing like their corresponding type. While it may be up for debate with some of the examples, others are outright bizarre. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Hungry Burger
As far as mislabeling monster types go, this is fairly self-explanatory. It is uncertain whether or not this face-chomping burger was labeled as a warrior of all things because of translation errors, or if nobody cared enough to think twice before printing. Either way, there is probably nobody who would look at an evil possessed burger with sharp teeth and think to themselves "yep, that's a warrior alright". Some may use that argument that the warrior type is valid because the burger uses physical attacks, however, this goes completely out the window because of the "fiend" type in Yu-gi-oh that would be a much better fit for this strange card. Mystical Sand
This is one of many examples in this game where both the name and type of the monster card are the complete opposite of how the monster is depicted. Mystical Sand is the result of a fusion between a Giant Soldier of Stone and an Ancient Elf. What is confusing is that Mystical Sand retains the Rock-type because of the Giant Soldier of Stone, yet looks like a female wizard. Whatever the reasoning may be, it's safe to assume that this card confuses pretty much anyone at first glance due to the unfitting name and type. Gate Guardian
Another warrior in the list, the Gate Guardian is a fusion of three monsters that creates a Megazordesque monster with fairly strong stats and a pretty badass name to boot. Even though the warrior type tagged onto it isn't completely out of the realm of reason because of how tough it looks, it's safe to assume that most people would agree that the machine type would fit the art much better. Being a card in a card game that originated in Japan, you would expect that anything resembling a mecha would automatically be considered to be one, yet for some reason, this is not the case with Gate Guardian. Curtain Of The Dark Ones
Where do we even begin with this card? While it is called Curtain of The Dark Ones, the art makes it seem like the monster is actually an old malnourished man hiding under a red rug. First impressions aside, assuming that it is a curtain that can "raise a dark power", it is still just a magical curtain. Calling a magic curtain that can summon things a spellcaster makes no sense since nobody on this planet would consider a magic wand a spellcaster either. It would make more sense to change the type of this card to a friend, considering it is a curtain that can summon zombie-like creatures. Perhaps it was pinned as a spellcaster as a joke, and the real spellcaster was the old man underneath all along. Dark Chimera
Dark Chimera isn't a popular card, nor is it particularly interesting considering it is a monster with mediocre stats and no special effects. What's strange about it is that its type is fiend, which doesn't really make sense considering its name and look. While it is relatively scary looking, it doesn't really scream "demon" but rather a botched experiment at mixing beasts, which is exactly what its type should have been. Although it may sound nitpicky, a scary creature created by fusing different animals can't really be called a fiend, as there is nothing really demonic or haunted about it besides its chin. Dice Jar
If seeing this card art doesn't give you nightmares tonight, we don't know what will. While the art does show two dice being thrown, which related to the monster's effect, the rest leaves us scratching our heads. Firstly, in what way is that creature a jar, and secondly - what makes it a rock type? If that thing really is the jar that throws the dice, it would make more sense to make it a fiend-type card instead. No matter which way you look at it, not that anyone should, this thing is creepy through and through. The only reasoning that can be used as to why it is a rock-type are the dice, but the art makes it obvious that they are not the main focus. Grinder Golem
Grinder Golem is a fiend-type monster with pretty cool art, yet to most, it doesn't look like an evil ghost at all, but rather a robot that could have very well been designed by Jigsaw. Boasting sharp claws and a circular saw for a face, this golem seems quite mechanical any way you look at it. Making it a fiend-type is quite confusing, as the metal saw seems quite real and not at all specter-like. The only room for debate here would be to argue that it is a possessed machine, or that the name golem implies dark magic. However, the art makes it obvious that it is primarily a machine, so that's what its type should have been. Ojama Green
If there is one thing Yu-Gi-Oh card designers are good at, it's making monster card art that just creeps us out like nothing else. Ojama Green is, for some reason, a real card that even had considerable screen-time in the show. What's even weirder is that it is a beast-type, which makes little sense, considering it just looks like a creepy alien wearing a speedo. We'd much rather this card didn't exist in the first place, but as it stands to make it a fiend or maybe even a warrior type would make more sense. There is a slim chance that the choice to make it a beast-type was some sort of twisted and immature joke by the designers, but it's best to leave that a mystery. Castle Of Dark Illusions
When thinking of a fiend, as per definition, we usually picture a scary or angry-looking ghost, demon, or anything in between. The last thing that would pop into our heads is a floating gold-colored "castle" with a strange ring-like wall around it that looks more like a weird crown than an actual castle. Sure, places like these can be haunted, but it's usually not them that's the fiend, but rather the place inhabiting them. Say what you will, but this castle, haunted or not, should be a rock-type for obvious reasons. The only way we can think of that would warrant this card being a fiend-type would be to make the castle look see-through in the art. Twin Long Rods #2
Before you ask - yes this is a real card, and no, we don't know why it exists, but it does. If you ever wanted to see an example of a sleep paralysis demon that would scare absolutely anyone, then look no further. With a face that not even a mother could love, Twin Long Rods #2 is a weak monster stat-wise, but more than makes up for it with the physical trauma it causes to anyone who witnesses that face. For some reason, despite everything, Twin Long Rods #2 is an aqua-type. It's a no-brainer to say that this card should have been a fiend-type instead of aqua, because honestly - just look at that mug and tell us that it didn't come straight from our collective worst nightmares.
