Tri-Colored

Tri-Colored is an archetype of Level 4 WATER Reptile-Type Flip Effect Monsters in HCCG. All of its members were made by Hippocampus and are included in Light Beginnings.

Technically, "Tri-Colored" is not an archetype, but it has been hinted that it will become one in the future and more members will be released in future booster sets. Currently, it is comprised of two monsters that both have the ability to search 1 monster from the Deck upon being flipped face-up. Tri-Colored Frog can search Union Monsters, and Tri-Colored Turtle can search Spirit Monsters. As such, it is impossible to make a "Tri-Colored" deck because the cards are mere techs usable in completely different decks, and have no synergy other than their same stats.

Trivia

 * The original two "Tri-Colored" monsters' designs were inspired from two miniature beanbag animals Hippocampus hand-painted back in a summer camp around the year 2000. He still possesses them to this day. While the animal resembling Tri-Colored Turtle does indeed have three colors, the one resembling Tri-Colored Frog does not - it has four.
 * So far, both "Tri-Colored" monsters have the same stats. In fact, the only thing different about them is their card numbers and the type of monster searched in their respective effects.
