Hazy Flame

"Haze Beast" (「」 Heizubīsuto) is an archetype of cards introduced in the Jump Festa 2012 - Special Card Pack that is part of the "Haze" archetype. So far, all "Haze Beast" monsters are FIRE monsters and are either Rank 6 or are Level 6.

The first "Haze Beast" monster, "Haze Beast Hipogrifo", was released by itself in the Jump Festa 2012 - Special Card Pack. Later, new "Haze Beast" monsters were revealed in Cosmo Blazer.

The archetype appears to focus around rapid and easy Summoning of Level 6 monsters to bring out any Rank 6 Xyz Monster, especially "Haze Beast Basilicock", who can be Xyz Summoned with up to 5 Level 6 FIRE monsters, with different effects based on the number of attached Xyz Materials. All of the members so far share the common effect of being unable to be targeted by the opponent's card effects. Also, some of them inflict effect damage to the controller in exchange for being Summoned with one less Tribute.

Their "Haze" support cards, have the common ability to Tribute Summon "Haze Beast" monsters with one less Tribute, and in their case, without any Tributes, thus creating even more consistence. They even have other effects of their own, further supporting the archetype.
