Art Beasts

Art Beasts (AB アートビースト Ātobīsuto) is an archtype of monsters of varying types and attributes.

Naming
All monsters follow the similar naming pattern of Art Beast + [color] + [animal].

Appearance
The monsters of this archtype are living paintings of the animals they represent. They are 3D creatures, but are made entirely out of paint of their color.

Playing Style
All Art Beast monsters have an attribute corresponding to their color. Their attributes are how they refer to each other in Fusion Materials and card effects.
 * Red = FIRE
 * Blue = WATER
 * Yellow = LIGHT
 * Green = WIND
 * Orange = EARTH
 * Purple = DARK

There are 3 Level 3 main deck monsters: Lion, Falcon, and Turtle. They're the main set up of the archtype, revolving around fetching each other and Fusion cards out for Fusion Summons when they are Normal or Special Summoned. All of the Fusion monsters, Fusion Materials require the mixing of colors (attributes) that make their color. And all of them, except Wyvern, can Special Summon an Art Beast monster from the Graveyard with its effects negated when they are Special Summoned.
 * Green - Blue+Yellow/WATER+LIGHT
 * Orange - Red+Yellow/FIRE+LIGHT
 * Purple - Red+Blue/FIRE+WATER

The higher Fusion Monsters (The Chimaras and Wyvern) can be treated as any of the attributes of the Fusion Material monsters used. The Chimaras are treated as the 3 Attributes that make them and Wyvern is treated as all.

Trivia
The main deck monsters (which are not Fusion Monsters) are the three Primary colors as there is nothing that will mix to make them.
