Zoodiac

"Juunishishi" ( Jūnishishi) is an archetype of Level and Rank 4 EARTH Beast-Warrior-Type monsters set to debut in Raging Tempest.

Etymology
The name "Jūnishishi" is a play on the terms "Jūnishi" (十二支), which refers to the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac, and "Shishi" (獣), meaning "beast".

Appearance
The "Juunishishi" monsters are based on the Twelve Animals of the Chinese Zodiac, with each monster being a slightly anthropomorphized version of their respective animal. Each monster also wears an oversized gauntlet on either their left or right forearm, with which they wield their own respective weapon.

Playing style
The "Juunishishi" monsters in the Main Deck possess effects that allow Beast-Warrior-Type Xyz Monsters they are attached to to gain different effects, ranging from Spell/Trap negation to piercing damage.

The Xyz Monsters of the archetype, meanwhile, all possess variable (?) ATK and DEF, stemming from the sum total of the ATK and DEF of the monsters attached to it as Xyz Material. Furthermore, each Xyz Monster can be Xyz Summoned once every turn by using a different "Juunishishi" monster as the Xyz Material.
