Nightling

thumb
Nightling (夜族; yazoku) is a family premiered in BS01. Almost all Nightlings are Purple. They are all based on monsters and strange creatures with humanoid forms, such as vampires and sirens, or as the name suggests, creatures which lurk at night. The family had a constant lack of supports. Finally, a major wave of support came in Burning Legend era, where the Nightlings take on the theme of resurrection masters. This deck focuses on re-summoning Spirit cards from the Trash.
In the Advent era, the revival of the Seven Shoguns brought back the family briefly, but the decks oriented more on the Ogre Wizard family or the Makai archetype.
In the Rebirth era, there were a few Nightling cards with the major themes of vampires and nobles, as a hint towards the next major support in the next era, which is the Bal-Masque Spirits in the True Rebirth era. This new archetype had a variety of effects, but they had a unique focus on limiting the use of the opposing Soul Core.
On the collaboration side, the enemy of Kamen Rider Kuuga, collectively called the Grongi Tribe, also belongs to this family in the game. They have a range of removal effects in order to stack the cores on The KillingGame Gegeru. There is also Kamen Rider Kiva belonging to this family.
