Editing Giant Rat (section)

==Yu-Gi-Oh==
In [[Yu-Gi-Oh]]!, the card [https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Giant_Rat Giant Rat] is an old (predates the English release of the game) Earth monster that is part of a cycle of weak monsters that special summon a low-attack monster of the same attribute (earth, water ect.), including other copies themselves, from the deck when destroyed by battle. Many of the common types (zombie, dragon ect.) have also gotten a monster that functions similarly. This series is often known as the "recruiters". They used to be pretty useful for thinning the deck, keeping monsters out even when the opponent has a strong monster, summoning monsters with low stats but good effect, filling the graveyard and the rare strategy that wants to destroy a bunch of their own monsters by battle (since the summoned monsters can attack immediately if you keep suiciding monsters into an opponent's). As such various members have seen competitive use on-and off through-out the years and are easily recognized by anyone who played in the older eras, but non-combat removal is so common now and the normal summon so valuable they're rarely seen today.
