A card is considered to be a counterpart of another card if it is intentionally made similar in appearance or effect.
Early sets (especially Japanese ones) recycled designs very frequently. Some examples include "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1" and "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #2"; "Rock Ogre Grotto #1" and "Steel Ogre Grotto #1"; "Stone Ogre Grotto" and "Rock Ogre Grotto #2"; "Kuriboh" and "Wretched Ghost of the Attic"; "Oscillo Hero" and "Wattkid"; "Green Phantom King" and "Queen of Autumn Leaves"; "Lady of Faith" and "Doriado, etc.
"Barrel Dragon" and "Blowback Dragon" are considered counterparts since the latter's effect was based on the former's. However, counterparts in effect are sometimes less obvious or even unintentional.
Some counterparts are upgraded versions of Normal Monsters given effects, e.g. "Obnoxious Celtic Guard" is this to "Celtic Guardian". These are referred to as retrained cards.
There are enhanced counterparts, such as "Muka Muka" to "Enraged Muka Muka", "Man-Eater Bug" to "Nobleman-Eater Bug", "Hane-Hane" to "Hade-Hane", "Levia-Dragon - Daedalus" to "Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus", "Milus Radiant" to "Missus Radiant", etc.
Another kind of counterparts are the Dark counterparts, released in Phantom Darkness. These cards are dark versions of several popular monsters, such as "The Dark Creator" or "Dark Armed Dragon". All of them resemble older monsters in appearance, name, ATK and DEF, etc, with the exception that they are all DARK.
The majority of "Malefic" monsters are counterparts of older cards, e.g. "Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon".
