"
NeoSpacian" (
Neosupēshian) is an
archetype of
Level 3
monsters related to the "
Elemental HERO" archetype which focuses on
Contact Fusion with "
Elemental HERO Neos". In the
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, the "NeoSpacians", along with their infant "
Chrysalis" counterparts, were introduced by
Jaden Yuki, who created the concept of these cards when he was a little boy. There are six "NeoSpacian" monsters, each with a different
Attribute and
Type. This theme relies on "Elemental HERO Neos" and was designed to give Jaden an alternate strategy to his "
Elemental HERO" monsters. With the exception of "
Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin", each "Neo-Spacian" monster has the same Type as its "Chrysalis" counterpart.
NEX
While the Japanese name of "
NEX" is NEX and would appear to be part of the archetype, it is not considered a "NeoSpacian" card due to different superscripting.
