They may also represent aquatic or amphibious creatures that do not fall under the category of Fish or Sea Serpent . In the same respect, most Aqua-Type monsters are WATER -Attribute monsters. Aqua-Type effects are varied, but many of the best focus on hand control.

Other notable Aqua-Type monsters include: "Tribe-Infecting Virus ", "Cloudian - Eye of the Typhoon ", "Penguin Soldier ", "Abyss Soldier ", "Servant of Catabolism ", and "Yomi Ship ".
The monsters that belong to this Type also gain a boost from "Umi ", "Power of Kaishin ", "Maiden of the Aqua " and "Wetlands ".
