BS01-095

Armored Beast (甲獣; koujuu) is a family in the Battle Spirits trading card game, debuted since BS01. Most cards in this family are White, and as the name suggests, the creatures take the shapes of animals with armor or shells. Part of this family also falls under the archetype "Armored Beasts (鎧装獣)", which in lore are animals tamed by The BeastMaster Dvergr.

Although the family has a long history, there was almost no support until the arrival of Grandwalker Tezcatlipoca in BS61, finally giving the family a deck of its own.

History[]

While the overall history of the Armored Beast family is not significant, there are a few cards throughout the game which stand out to be unique. The ArmoredBeast Bear-Gelmir was one of the first Spirits to be revealed for the launch of the game, making it one of the most recognisable Spirits in the game.

The family received its first Brave, Diyadokari, in BS14, but the most iconic Brave has to be The TortoiseshellBeast Kabutogame, the current Brave with the highest BP in Spirit form, and also having the highest BP+ during brave, along with The Sword of Judgment Re-Genesis. On the other hand, the family received its first Ultimate, Ultimate-Gran-Tortoise as a Promo X-Rare in the Ultimate era. From the collaboration series, the family received three non-White Spirits.

As mentioned above, the family finally received a proper wave of support in BS61. Tezcatlipoca focused on the play style of manipulating own's Removed Zone. The Armored Beast cards released in the same set possess effects which can be activated when put into the Removed Zone, or giving additional effects while being summoned from the Removed Zone. It was also one of the very few decks that actually utilize the Ultra Heavy Armor keyword. The win condition of the deck involved using The GiantArmorSacredBeast Tepeyollotl to repeatedly activate Tezcatlipoca's Grand Skill for continuous attacks.
