Eldlich The Golden Lord is a fantastic Boss Monster as well, as it can easily be Special Summoned while also sending any card on the field to the Graveyard. Due to the lower number of Main Deck Monsters, Eldich is an incredibly splashable Archetype that has seen consistent play ever since its release in all sorts of variants.

The Invoked Archetype has been around forever, and never quite seems to leave the meta. It's been played as pure Invoked, with Shaddolls, and with Mekk-Knights to name a few. Thanks to its splashability, Invoked sees a ton of play.

It can constantly recycle its engine pieces as well, which makes it stand out as one of Yu-Gi-Oh! It's so good that there have been multiple calls for Aleister The Invoker to be banned. Burning Abyss came out inside the powerhouse Duelist Alliance Set and has been a staple of the meta, be it tiered or rouge. The Burning Abyss Archetype has seen multiple cards on the banlist. Burning Abyss's ability to flood the field with Special Summons, then go into powerful Extra Deck Monsters, is what makes it so good.

Burning Abyss has never quite died, and will likely stick around for years to come. Released in Duelist Alliance alongside other fan-favorite Archetypes, Shaddolls have always been a force to be reckoned with.

They have had a resurgence thanks to their Structure Deck and cards getting unbanned. Shaddoll is a Fusion-heavy Archetype and has a plethora of cards with effects that trigger off of Fusions. Since so many effects happen at the same time, you can guarantee effects resolve thanks to Chain Blocking. Frogs have had two major versions in their history in Yu-Gi-Oh!

The first of them would be one of the best decks ever released, the incredibly consistent Frog FTK, which was capable of defeating your opponent before they had a chance to play. Later on, Frogs kept on living as a strategy that was part of a control deck, thanks to Paleozoic Trap cards and Toadally Awesome. They can constantly refresh their field with new Frogs, which in turn can be used to make more powerful Extra Deck Monsters. The Archetype could Tribute Summon their Monsters by using Spell and Trap cards, which allowed them to get them out quickly.

Each of the True Draco Spell and Trap cards has effects that trigger off of being sent to the Graveyard as well. Even without it, True Draco is still a solid control Archetype that sees play today.

So long as you have a Zoodiac Monster on the field, it could be used as the entire material for a Zoodiac Xyz Monster. Being able to cheat the entire Xyz mechanic was incredibly broken, and led to pure Zoodiacs being a Tier 0 deck at their height. Zoodiacs as an Archetype was easily splashed into other decks as well, since most of their cards are in the Extra Deck.

It saw success in all sorts of variants and was so good that two of the best Xyz Monsters, Zoodiac Broadbull and Zoodiac Drident are currently banned. Spyral started out as a fairly unimpressive Archetype in their release during the end of the Xyz era. Their cards were easily searchable and consistently able to set up near unbreakable boards. While he isn't a real cat, Morgana of Persona 5 fame takes on a feline form that he consistently stays in while he seeks to understand who he is.

Among the many playable characters in the hit Persona game, Morgana is unique in that he is suffering from amnesia and doesn't quite remember his past. Throughout Persona 5, you'll learn more mysteries about the character and watch him evolve. Morgana may be a bit annoying at times, but his charm is in the fact that he really cares about the Phantom Thieves.

The world of Animal Crossing has always been a welcoming place from the moment players first set foot on the train two decades ago. Those who remember that moment know that they were greeted by a cat who was just interested in getting to know you. That was Rover, a blue and white cat that was the first character one would interact with across most of the Animal Crossing games. This was likely someone's first impression of the characters in the game, and Rover always makes the player feel nice and welcome to the friendly town they were about to move to.

Sometimes, people want to forget about characters that are fundamentally annoying, but Big the Cat has made enough of a name for himself across many Sonic the Hedgehog games that it's hard not to kind of feel for him. Big loves spending his life in the tranquil areas of Mystic Ruins but may end up being called on for help by his friends, which he is more than willing to do.

Of course, he also has a hard time keeping tabs on his best friend, Froggy. His most iconic moments may be in Sonic Adventure 2 as he runs around trying to fish Froggy up at different locations. Another character that isn't really a cat, Taokaka is a playable character in BlazBlue and serves as the guardian to her tribe's village. While she has an iconic look, the mystery around Taokaka is that she never reveals her face. All that is seen of the character is her long blond braids and the tan outfit with cat ears.

In terms of her powers, her main features are her magical abilities and her long metal claws. She isn't among the strongest characters in the franchise, but she is definitely among the quickest and the most agile.

In Okami , players spend the whole game playing as Amaterasu , a god that is a wolf.
