The Field Searchers are a series of monsters which have the ability to search out for a certain Field Spell Card for their Archetype, Attribute or Type. They are all Level 4 Monsters that allow you to discard them to add their corresponding Field Spell Card to your hand from your deck. While the ATK of the series' members ranges from 1600 to 2100, all of them are designed to produce a Normal Summonable monster with 2100 ATK when played together with their respective Field Spell (they are either destroyed without the Field card in play– for those members whose ATK is already 2100– or gain an ATK boost while their Field Spell is on the field that brings their ATK to 2100). They were all introduced in "Force of the Breaker" and, with the exception of Elemental HERO Captain Gold, were all Rares (Captain Gold being Ultra Rare in FOTB, but having since been reprinted as Rare).

The Field Searchers and their corresponding Field Cards are as follows:

Field Searcher Field Spell
Archfiend General Pandemonium
Destroyersaurus Jurassic World
Elemental HERO Captain Gold Skyscraper
Gravekeeper's Commandant Necrovalley
Harpie Queen Harpies' Hunting Ground
Neo Space Pathfinder Neo Space
Warrior of Atlantis A Legendary Ocean
Zeradias, Herald of Heaven The Sanctuary in the Sky

Note that "Neo Space Pathfinder" is a Field Searcher, but differs from the others that it remains at 1800 ATK regardless of the Field Spell Card being or not on the field. It also can return "Neo Space" from the Graveyard, and was released outside of Force of the Breaker.

While their effects are little more than specialized versions of "Terraforming", they are all monster cards, so they can provide some sort of protection should you run out of Field Cards ("Terraforming", in such a case, would be a dead draw). In addition, all of these cards have outstanding ATK when their field card is on the field, making them great beatsticks (this is even more true for "Harpie Queen", "Warrior of Atlantis", and "Gravekeeper's Commandant", as the former two already have 1900 ATK, while the latter has the highest Original ATK of any non-tribute Gravekeeper's monster). Finally, given practically no deck is ever built relying on more than a single Field Spell card, their specialization drawback is nearly non-existent.

Other Field Searching-related monsters include:
