* No Physical Form: Tokens don't exist as physical cards. They are only "created" on the field during gameplay.
* Not Controlled by Cards: While tokens have effects and stats, they aren't controlled by any specific card. They are simply representations of a monster type with specific attributes.
* No Card Text: Unlike actual monster cards, tokens don't have card text or specific abilities beyond what's determined by the effect that created them.
Think of them like a placeholder for a real monster. They have the same basic qualities (name, type, ATK, DEF, etc.) but no card text or individual effects.
For example:
* If you summon a monster that creates a "Token" monster with the effect "This monster cannot be destroyed by battle", the token itself doesn't have that specific effect. It only gets that effect because it was created by that specific card.
In summary, tokens are not cards or monsters, but rather representations of them, created and used during gameplay.
