"Frightfur", known as "Death-Toy" (デストーイ Desutōi) in the OCG, is an archetype of Fiend monsters used by Sora Perse in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime and manga. The "Frightfur" monsters serve as "bosses" for both the "Edge Imp" and "Fluffal" archetypes since the Fusion Materials used for their Fusion Summon reside in these archetypes. All members of this archetype are DARK Fusion Monsters, except for the following:
- Effect Monster - "Edge Imp Frightfuloid"
- Pendulum Monster - "Frightfur Meister"
- WATER - "Frightfur Kraken"
Design
Appearance
"Frightfur Bear", "Frightfur Leo" and "Frightfur Sheep".
"Frightfur" monsters are based off of corrupted versions of animals from "Fluffal" archetype. They feature a destroyed plush toy that was re-fabricated with their respective "Edge Imp" tools or weapons inside them, giving them a more demonic and terrifying appearance, in contrast to the "Fluffal" monsters. The artwork of "Frightfur Factory" depicts the transformation of "Fluffal" to "Frightfur" monsters. In the TCG and English ARC-V anime, the blades of the "Frightfur" monsters are given a glow to avoid references to actual weapons.
Etymology
"Frightfur" is a pun on "frightful" and "fur". Their Japanese name "Death-Toy" directly describes their menacing appearances, and can also be a pun on "destroy".
