Invader

Invader is a race of creature shared between the 5 monocolored civilizations.

Details

 * Light creatures are based on Buddhism and mascot characters, most notably Mice. They are led by Angel Commands.
 * Water creatures are based on magicians and gambling. They are led by Magic Commands.
 * Darkness creatures are based on horror movies. They are led by Demon Commands.
 * Fire creatures are based on bikers and motorcycles. They are led by Sonic Commands.
 * Nature creatures are based on guerrilla soldiers. They are led by Guerrilla Commands.

Instead of the usual civilization symbol, Invaders have an eagle with a globe on the eagle's back as a watermark behind their effect text. It is the same symbol that Duel Masters Land uses in the anime series.

According to the background story manga, they are brainwashed creatures, making them similar to Unknowns and Unnoises. However, the higher-ranking Invaders seem to have free will, as seen in their behavior in the background story.

The major invaders are of the Water, Fire and Nature civilization alignments, but later Light invaders had gained a role too.

Darkness, Fire and Nature creatures have designs and weapons that exceed the technology standards of other creatures of their respective civilizations such as Chainsaws, supersonic motorcyles and Bazookas, meaning that their technology level and intelligence surpasses regular creatures of their respective civilizations.

Later on, an advanced S-rank Invader Virus variant creates a new type of invader known as S-Rank Invaders.
