Catastonic

Catastonic (カタストニック Katasutonikku) is an Archetype of WIND Zombie-Type monsters created by Taylor Gorrell. Visually, the Catastonics are strange humanoid creatures whose bodies are completely covered in strange feathers, but have skeletal body parts poking through the feathers, and all of their faces resemble plaque doctor masks. The monsters in this Archetype perform insidious alchemic experiments, using their own bodily fluids or even liquefying and mixing their bodies to complete them.

Etymology
Every Catastonic monster is named after a disease.

Play Style
Going off of the monsters' use of their own bodies to complete their experiments, Catastonic Decks focus on consistently paying the user's LP. Unlike most LP payments, these payments are actual effects rather than costs, so any effects that can be chained to LP loss can be used with these effects. The Catastonics themselves also reap the benefits of the consistent payments by triggering effects when LP is paid or gaining effects when the user has less LP than their opponent.

Trivia

 * The Catastonic Archetype's concept was originally a joke said by Taylor Gorrell to YRPOtaku169 after the reveal of the Archetype, where he mentioned that after a FIRE Synchro-using Archetype of samurai and cursed swords, the next Zombie Archetype would be a WIND Fusion-using Archetype of plague doctor birds.  Though the Catastonics are not bird-like apart from their feathers, one Catastonic is actually bird-shaped.
 * Taylor Gorrell started the Catastonic Archetype as a way to practice making an Archetype that used Fusion Monsters, as he felt out of practice with Fusions.
 * Taylor initially considered using STDs for Catastonic monster names, but eventually decided against it, as he felt "that's a line not even Yu-Gi-Oh! would cross".
