Ritual Monsters

Ritual monsters are a kind of Monster card in the TCG and HCCG. They are usually on the strong side in terms of ATK and DEF; however, they require the player to possess their corresponding Ritual Spell Cards in order to be summoned, and they also require additional monsters needed to be Tributed from the player's possession. They are color-coded blue. Some Ritual monsters are also Effect Monsters.

Ritual monsters are very costly to summon due to the fact that Ritual Spell Cards require so many Tributes, and because of this they are the least type of played monster. In general, they also have very few representatives in HCCG compared to the other kinds of Monster cards.

Currently, the Larvas archetype is the only HCCG archetype that revolves around using a Ritual Monster as a core of its strategy, the monster in question being Larvas the Conqueror of Ra.
