Ritual Pendulum Monsters

Ritual Pendulum Monsters are a special category of Pendulum Monster that also count as a Ritual Monster, and can therefore return to the Extra Deck face-up when they would be destroyed, and can then be Pendulum Summoned in certain conditions after a proper Ritual Summon. Unlike the other special Pendulum Monster types, "Ritual Pendulum Monsters" can be placed in a Pendulum Zone as a Pendulum Scale without an additional effect to place them there, making their more resource-heavy and Main Deck-focused nature actually benefit them.
