Race is a gameplay characteristic of creature cards in the Duel Masters trading card game (and sometimes spells or cross gear).

Most creatures in the game have a race, which appears on the card under its card name.

Details

There are no rules specific to creature races, but there are many cards that support the race, or even Race Category, such as Dragon.

Some creatures have 2 or more races separated by a slash, such as Gonta, the Warrior Savage. Gonta has the races of Beast Folk and Human, and is affected by any card that affects Beast Folk and any card that affects Humans. It can be evolved into an evolution creature that requires either race.

There are various creatures with a Hedrian race in Black Box Packs that have the highest total of races, with 8, 9 and 10 .

Later, high rarity creatures with 4 races appeared with both the Hunter and Alien races as Special Races were released were unique cards in having 4 races.

This was also more commonly seen on 3-civilization creatures (with Dispector as a special race) due to them being a combination of formerly released creatures.

Cards with 4 or more races include;

Cost:	Card:	Races:
10	Ultimate Man	Outrage / Hedrian / Shinobi / Dynamo / Hunter Children / Lost Crusader / Curry Bread / Pianist / World Idol
9	Ultra Man	Hedrian / Hunter / Alien / Samurai / Knight Origin / Dynamo / Shinobi / Survivor

The following creatures have 3 races with no special races.

There are also creatures with No Race.

While races are primarily featured on creature cards, some spells in the Sengoku Saga (DM-28 to DM-32) such as the Knight Magic series, feature the race of Knight as a subtype. Certain Cross Gear in the Sengoku Saga also feature a subtype; Samurai, the opposing force to the Knights. Due to featuring these races, they could be affected by various support cards that specified a race, rather than card type (such as Gregorias, Mystic Light Death Saint or Bolmeteus "Kensei" Dragon).

Later on, Phoenix Life in DMX-21 Masters Chronicle Pack: Comic of Heroes was released that had Phoenix as a subtype, as well as the Jokers race after the release of DMRP-01 Here Come the Jokers!!.
