Shellman (殻人; kakujin) is a family premiered in BS01. The family exists in all card types except Magic, and all colors, but is mainly Green. They are similar to the Shell Insect family, but have a more humanoid appearance. The Antman archetype belongs to this family. In Burning Soul era, many Ninja Gale family cards, mainly the group Armored Moth Shinobi, also own this family. In Advent era, the archetype The Hundred Swords owns this family. In lore the clan was part of the Vanity Deity army opposing the protagonist, Alex. In God Advent and Ultra Advent eras, Shellman Spirits under the common name "Knight" were released, mostly to support The Grandwalker Ares. This deck was also the first to introduce the concept of double and triple attacks (attacking with two or three Spirits at the same time).

In the game history, notable Shellman cards include The HornetKing Fong-Need, which has a powerful core boost effect; various Spirits which help to lock down summon effects in Green/Blue Rush decks; and The EvilPriest Crickets which allows other Red and Green Spirits to repeat their summon effects.

On the collaboration side, the family is owned by villain cards in which the characters look like insects, especially from the Kamen Rider series.
