The Hemovores are one of Taylor Gorrell and YRPOtaku169's six collaboration Duel Terminal Archetypes. It is a series of DARK monsters chiefly made up of Zombie and Insect-Types as opposed to the previously Fiend-dominated Archetypes. They battle against the Aurora tribe for control of day and night, wanting to plunge the world in eternal night. They are all half-bat in design and are based on the "gangly, monstrous feeder" portrayal of vampires, contrasting the "attractive, intelligent humanoid" portrayal used by the actual "Vampire" Archetype.
Play Style[]
The Hemovores focus on a combination of increasing your Life Points while decreasing your opponent's, as well as weakening the opponent while increasing their own ATK. They have a small group of Insect-Type Union Monsters that equip themselves to the opponent's monster instead. At the cost of giving an a bit of protection, they give the poor unfortunate monster negative effects. Their Zombie-Type members manipulate Life Points a bit more freely, though their effects are worded in such a way that they merely increase and decrease Life Points, as opposed to inflicting actual Effect Damage or making a player pay Life Points. This makes any anti-Burn strategy a moot point, as they decrease Life Points due to an effect, but do not inflict damage.
Trivia[]
- "Hemovore" describes a creature who feeds exclusively on blood.
- All Zombie-Type Hemovores have abnormal ATK and DEF values, similar to some early monsters, such as "Dark Chimera", "Barox", "Castle of Dark Illusions", and "Reaper of the Cards".
