Xyz Monster

An Xyz Monster (pronounced ik-seez; Japanese: エクシーズモンスター Ekushīzu Monsutā) is a type of Monster Card that is colored black. They are stored in the Extra Deck. The card frame is also stylized by having it appear as if one is flying through space with many stars in the frame giving the appearance of one streaking by them and other stars appearing stationary due to relative distance (giving a realistic depiction of moving through space).

Xyz Monsters do not have Levels, and instead have a Rank. An Xyz Monster's Rank determines the required Levels of the Xyz Materials needed in order to Xyz Summon it. An Xyz Monster's Rank is depicted by a row of yellow stars in black orbs (as opposed to the yellow stars in red orbs used to depict a monster's Level) that extend outwards from the left-hand side of the card (the opposite side to Level stars).

Xyz Monsters appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, used both by several of the main characters (Yūya and Reiji) in the series and several supporting characters (Yūto and Shun), primarily those from the Standard Dimension and Xyz Dimension.
