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

Design
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.

Strategy
The "Juunishishi" monsters in the Main Deck possess effects that allow any Xyz Monster 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.
