You should never underestimate things based on their size. The most deadly creatures on the planet are bacteria, and we can't even see them without the proper equipment.
That goes for Duel Monsters too. A monster with 0 attack points and a powerful effect is usually much more dangerous than one with 3000 attack and no effect.
Take my next opponent, for example. His monsters may be tiny and cute, but they're some of the most frustrating I've ever faced.

Three years ago
Police chief Raymond O'Hara stepped out of his car, approaching the crime scene. There was police tape everywhere, blocking off a large section of the road and the pavement. Someone had found a body.
"Details?" He asked the Deputy Chief, who looked uneasy. She told him that the coffee shop employees had come in to start their shifts, and found a man lying on the ground, unconscious and covered in slash marks. Stranger than that, the man clutched several large feathers in one of his hands.
O'Hara looked at the man, who was being loaded into a hospital gurney. He looked perfectly normal... to everyone else. The chief could see that the man had ebony black skin, white hair, and long, pointed ears, clear signs of a Dark Elf.
"Wonder what did this to the poor fellow." He muttered. The chief had always been a kindhearted man. He had two small children at home, a boy and a girl, and one of the reasons he became a cop was to make the world safer for them.
Checking out the crime scene, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Some blood was splattered on the ground, obviously from the victim's wounds. There were no finger prints or tire tracks, at least none that weren't supposed to be there.
There was, however, a girl who O'Hara had never seen. She was Asian, tall and slightly muscular, with shoulder-length black hair. With her red jacket and faded jeans, you could've mistaken her for a lost college student, if it wasn't for the small scar underneath her right eye. No one seemed to notice her, however, as she walked right past the police tape and began snapping pictures.
"Excuse me, young lady, what are you doing?" The chief asked, furrowing his bushy brow. "This is a crime scene, no reporters allowed."
"I'm not a reporter." She said, reaching into her jacket. She pulled out a badge that looked real enough, but... "I was sent from the higher ups. Don't worry about it." She frowned and turned around, leaving just as quickly as she arrived.
"Wait, hold on!" The older man ran after her, wanting answers. He stumbled, and lost her, as she drove off on her Duel Runner. "What was that?"

Two days later
Raymond O'Hara couldn't stop thinking about that strange girl. She was clearly human, but gave off a vibe that set her apart from the others. And her badge... it was blank. He didn't question it at the time, but now he wondered what it meant, and why no one had paid any attention to her.
Driving through St. Croix Street, the chief was all alone with his thoughts. He had a cup of coffee in his hands, to help calm his nerves. "Get over it, Raymond, she was just some weird kid." He said to himself. And that would've worked, had he not immediately caught sight of her again.
This time, she didn't have her jacket, and was carrying a sword, not a camera. Dropping his coffee, O'Hara pulled over and parked his car, getting out to chase after the mystery girl. "Wait, Miss, I need to speak to you!" He yelled.
Being rather out of shape, it was hard for him to keep up with her, but he did his best. "Semele, come out here, I know it's you." The girl said. O'Hara hid behind a brick wall, trying not to be noticed. There was a loud, fluttering sound, and something... no, someone landed on the ground.
"I'm completely innocent!" This new person, probably Semele, claimed. It was obviously a woman, with a high pitched voice. O'Hara peeked out from his hiding place, wanting to see what was going on. He almost yelped when he did.
Semele was the ugliest thing, man or woman, Raymond had ever seen. Thin and shriveled, with a wobbly neck and long, pointed nails. She looked like a vulture! And the feathers. There were thick, dark feathers all over her clothes. No, scratch that, they were attached to Semele herself. She was some kind of bird monster!
"You're never innocent, Semele, there's a reason your flock kicked you out." The mystery girl said, crossing her arms. "Those were your feathers in that Drow's hands. Now tell me why you did it."
"He thought Eilistraee was such a great goddess, well where was she when I had my talons in him?" Semele laughed, an awful sound. "Now pray to whatever silly human god you follow, Shadowchaser, because I'm about to do the same to you!"
Semele lunged forward, brandishing her knife-like nails. The girl, the one called a "Shadowchaser", took a step back and drew her sword. She fought off the hag without breaking a sweat, and swiftly kicked her in the stomach.
"Ugh, not fair..." Semele groaned as she fell to the ground, scratching the pavement. Raymond waited for the girl to finish off her opponent, but was shocked to see her sheath the sword. Instead, she produced a small blue gem from inside her pocket, and pointed it at the monster, who vanished in a bright light.
"What was that?" The chief stepped out of his hiding place, deciding to confront the mystery head on. "Your sword, that monster, then it just disappeared!"
The girl's sword hand twitched, as if she was afraid, but only for a moment. "My name is Kim, and I'm a Shadowchaser." She said.

Today
Chief O'Hara sat down and sipped his coffee, letting out a sigh. This was the third time this month he'd had to meet with this mysterious girl who called herself a Shadowchaser. He scratched his burly arms nervously.
"Can we make this quick? Darren and the kids are waiting for me at home." He asked, looking at his contact. She was a pretty girl, but her face didn't look friendly. She had a sword strapped to her side and a Duel Disk on her arm. "I'm running out of fake excuses."
Kim took a pad of paper and a pen out of her bag, and began writing. "My teammates and I have been running into members of a cult called the Ebon Sun. They wear necklaces like this." Kim held up a drawing of the black sun pendant Arabella and Lance had been wearing.
"Oh great, more weirdos." The chief took another gulp of coffee. "Weren't you guys having a problem with a rogue robot last month?" The more he learned about the other world, the less he wanted to know. Mermaids and orcs were one thing, but evil robots and cults were a lot harder to ignore.
"It was a clockwork golem, and we took care of it." Kim adjusted her coat, which covered up the many scars on her arms, six of which she got from that battle alone. "I just want you to keep an eye out for these guys, we think they're dangerous. You know my number if you find anything."
"That's all? No bribes or blackmail necessary?" Chief O'Hara raised an eyebrow. "This isn't an end of the world scenario, is it?"
"We don't know yet, to put it simply." Kim answered. She began to pack up her things, and set some money on the table to pay for her scone. "And we both know that you don't want any hush money." She smiled, which was a rarity for her.
Kim headed back to the parking lot, only to be nearly knocked over by a speeding Duel Runner. "Catch me, Shadowchaser!"
"You little-!" She clenched her fist and took a deep breath, mounting her own bike. "Fine, if it's a chase you want, then it's a chase you'll get."

Kim was a stubborn woman. She had been the only River City Shadowchaser for two months after her mother retired, until she met Caspian. And during those two months, she did everything in her power to protect the city on her own, just like her ancestor did when he founded the team.
Right now, she was chasing down a speeding Duel Runner. It was black and heavily stylized, but the person riding it was unusually small. He cackled loudly, turning on the screen on his Runner. Kim could see him clearly now. His slate grey skin, pale eyes and bleach white beard made it obvious that he was a Duergar.
Duergar were to dwarfs what Drow were to elves. A shadowy, sinister counterpart. They were usually crude and untrustworthy, and even greedier than a regular dwarf. "Pleased to meet you, Miss Shadowchaser. My name is Ivar, and I've come in the name of the Ebon Sun." He introduced himself, showing off the black sun pendant he wore.
"I don't care who you're representing, you tried to run me over!" Kim reminded the Duergar, speeding up so that her Duel Runner was right next to his.
"Bah, it was nothing!" Ivar chuckled. "Just a means of getting your attention. I've come in the name of the Ebon Sun, and my mistress, who wants me to test your strength." He pulled into a clearing, and Kim followed.
Ivar hopped off his Duel Runner, and activated his Duel Disk. It was silver, and seemed to be a child's model. Kim dismounted and activated her own Disk, a brand new red one with a yellow energy blade.
As soon as their Duel Disks activated, all the shadows in the city seemed to gather into one place, covering the alleyway in darkness, obscuring any exits.
(Kim LP 8000) - (Ivar LP 8000)
"You may take the first turn. I may be a criminal, but I'm still a gentleman." The duergar said.
Kim drew her opening hand, and looked it over. "I activate the continuous spell card Gateway of the Six!" An enormous, Japanese-style gate rose up behind Kim, glowing with a pale light. "Every time I summon a Six Samurai monster, this card gains 2 Bushido Counters. Like now!" The gate opened, and a samurai stepped out, almost casually. He wore bright green armor and carried an enormous sword. (ATK 1700)
"I summon Legendary Six Samurai Enishi." Two lanterns lit up atop the gateway, which hadn't been there before. "I end my turn with a set card."
"You're not much of a conversationalist, are you?" Ivar joked, having expected Kim to display the sense of humor Shadowchasers were known for. She said nothing. The duergar huffed and drew a sixth card. "Let's lighten things up a bit. First, I'm activating the effect of my Kuribenefactor. By discarding her, I get to draw two cards." A gold colored Kuriboh carrying a large briefcase hovered over the duelist, then vanished into a shimmer light.
"That's hardly fair." Kim pointed out, tapping her Duel Disk to check the Banlist app. (The newest model of Duel Disks were basically enormous iPads.)
"Well, I can only do that once per turn, and if I do, I have to show you my hand." Ivar turned his cards around, and Kim did her best to study them. She recognized Sangan and Threatening Roar, but the rest were new. "I summon Kuribull!" With a loud roar, a new monster erupted onto the field. It looked like, well, Kuriboh, but it was just as big as Ivar, and had scarlet fur. The monster had a pair of large, curved horns, a nose ring (despite lacking a visible nose), and bloodshot eyes. (ATK 2100)
Kim stared at her opponent's card and blinked a few times, as if she was checking her eyes. "What's the catch?" She asked, deciding not to question it. "I've seen plenty of level 4's with over 2000 attack points, and they all have some kind of weakness."
"Actually, this is a level five monster." Ivar explained. "And if I summon it without a tribute, like I just did, it blows up at the end of my turn. So I'm gonna get as much out of it as I can!" Kuribull bent its head down and rushed forward, impaling Kim's samurai with its horns. She frowned, and activated her set card.
"Battlecry of the Six allows me to special summon a Six Samurai monster from my deck when one on my field is destroyed, as long as its level isn't higher." A samurai in bright orange armor, carrying a glowing naginata, jumped through the gate and landed in front of Kim, kneeling in defense mode. "I choose The Six Samurai - Zanji." (DEF 1300)
Two more lanterns lit up, as Gateway gained more counters. "Not bad, Shadowchaser. But I have another trick up my sleeve!" The shadowy dwarf said, playing a card from his hand. "Five Star Twilight! By tributing one level 5 monster, I get five level 1 monsters!" Kuribull vanished, transforming into five spinning stars. The stars twirled around the field and crashed onto Ivar's field, giving way to five small, adorable monsters. "Say hello to the Kuriboh brothers! Kuriboh, Kuriba, Kuribe, Kuribi, and Kuribu!" The "brothers" were all identical, save for their fur color. Aside from Kuriboh, they were pink, lavender, white and teal. (DEF 200) x5
So Kuriboh is an archetype now? Kim raised an eyebrow. She had spent a few hours looking over newly released cards that morning, but hadn't seen anything about Kuriboh. And I thought I2 making Thunder Dragon support was weird.
"I see my Kuribohs have left you speechless!" Ivar laughed. He set two cards and nodded, signifying the end of his turn.
(KLP 7600) - (ILP 8000)
"My turn, then." Kim drew a card, only to be interrupted by her opponent.
"I activate both my set cards! Metaverse and Threatening Roar!" The duergar shouted, as his traps lifted. "Metaverse allows me to activate a Field Spell from my deck, so welcome to the Kuriburrow!" The alleyway was washed over with bright light, which faded and revealed a very odd location. It looked like an enormous prairie dog field, the ground full of holes, with various Kuribohs poking their heads out.
"This field gives all my Kuri monsters 500 more attack points, but obviously, that's not necessary right now." He chuckled.
"If I may get back to my turn." Kim frowned. "I activate Reinforcements of the Army!" A card shot out of her deck, and she added it to her hand. "I summon Attack Gainer!" A skinny, armored warrior with long red hair appeared in front of her. (ATK 0) "And now I'll tune him to Zanji, in order to summon one of my best monsters!" Attack Gainer turned into a ring of light and surrounded Zanji, causing both of them to collapse into five glowing stars.
"I Synchro Summon Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En!" The stars collided and formed a new samurai, this one dressed in red and gold armor. The spikes on his shoulders and kneepads, along with the inexplicable wings on his back, gave him a demonic presence. (ATK 2500)
The Gateway gained two more counters, which quickly extinguished. "I remove four Bushido Counters from my Gateway in order to add a samurai from my graveyard to my hand." Kim looked over her four cards. "I'll set this and end my turn."
"Hm..." Ivar smiled. "It's time to pull out the big guns! I activate Kuribah's effect! By tributing all five Kuriboh brothers, I can special summon something much more powerful!" The five little puffballs vanished, only to be replaced by a monstrous Kuriboh with dark fur and a single, long horn. "Meet Kuribabylon!" (ATK 4500)
Kim stepped back, intimidated. "4500 attack points? What else does it do?" She wished she had a Mirror Force right now.
"Unfortunately, not much." Ivar shrugged. "But it's an amazing beatstick! Skewer her samurai, my pet!" Kuribabylon lowered its horn and flew across the the field, impaling Shi En on its horn. Kim was knocked over from the impact, now regretting upgrading to the newest version of Solid Vision.
(KLP 5600) - (ILP 8000)
"Take all the time you need, Shadowchaser." The duergar smirked. "I'm in no hurry to end this. My mistress will reward me either way."
Kim picked herself up. "I'm not dead yet." She said, stretching her muscles to make sure they were still in tact. She drew a card, and quickly activated it. "Spellbook Inside The Pot lets us both draw 3 cards!"
Kim tapped the screen of her Duel Disk, checking something. She nodded. "I play Double Summon, and I'll summon my Samurai Sword Baron and Legendary Samurai Enishi!" Enishi reappeared, this time accompanied by another samurai. It was a man with massive hair and two swords strapped to his back, wearing a green coat over cloth robes. (ATK 1600)
"Next, I'll remove all four Bushido Counters from my Gateway in order to boost Enishi's attack points by 1000." The legendary samurai raised his sword, which began to glow brighter. (ATK 2700)
"I assume you've got another trick up your sleeve? My monster has almost twice as much strength as yours." Ivar noted. Kim smiled.
"Forbidden Chalice negates your monster's effect, and gives it 400 more ATK." The Shadowchaser watched as Kuribabylon's ATK dropped all the way to 900. "Your Kuribabylon's printed ATK is ?, which means it's nothing without its effect! Enishi, attack!" The green armored warrior slashed the massive Kuriboh to pieces, knocking the duergar back several feet.
"My Sword Baron attacks you directly!" The samurai drew his twin swords and prepared to strike.
"Not so fast! My Kuriblocker prevents your attack!" A new Kuriboh appeared on Ivar's field, this one was rust red and wearing a football helmet. (DEF 2000)
"I'll set this card and end my turn." Kim pursed her lips. "I'm not about to give up any time soon."
Ivar drew, grinning wickedly. "I'll start by activating Mystical Space Typhoon, to tear down your little castle!" A tornado whipped across the field, destroying the Gateway. "Next, I'm summoning Kuribrain!" In a tiny puff of smoke, a new Kuriboh appeared. It had wild, grey fur, and, most surprisingly, a small toothbrush mustache. (ATK 300)
"I'll activate another spell, One For One!" The duergar discarded a card, and a regular Kuriboh popped onto his field. "Now, I tune all three of my monsters together!" Kuribrain turned into a Synchro ring, which surrounded Kuriboh and Kuriblocker. "Behold, the mighty Kuribarbarian!"
Ivar's new monster was... weird. It was an enormous, teal Kuriboh, just as big as Kim, with razor sharp claws, and a viking hat, of all things. (ATK 2400) "I can't use its effect right now, but I can still attack!" Kuribarbarian slashed at Samurai Sword Baron, shattering him.
"I'll also end my turn with a set card!"
(KLP 3400) - (ILP 6200)
Kim was starting to sweat. She'd lost almost half her life points, and hadn't made much of a dent in her opponent's. You can do this, Kim. She said to herself, drawing a card. You wrestled a bugbear into submission before, you can beat an overgrown puffball. Looking over her hand, she started to formulate a plan.
"I activate my second copy of Spellbook Inside The Pot!" Kim quickly drew three cards, and her opponent did the same. "By banishing two samurai from my graveyard, I can special summon Enishi, Shien's Chancellor!" She pocketed Kageki and Zanji, and a new monster appeared. It was a tall, old Japanese man in traditional clothes, with a sword strapped to his side. (ATK 2200)
"Someone didn't age well." Ivar laughed, looking at Legendary Six Samurai - Enishi, then at the Chancellor. Kim ignored him.
"Next, I'm destroying your field spell!" She slid another card into her disk, Mystical Space Typhoon. Kuriburrow was blown to pieces, and Ivar frowned. "And with my Chancellor's effect, I can destroy your Synchro monster!" Enishi pulled out his sword, which shined with green light. The old samurai charged and sliced Kuribarbarian in half.
"He can't attack this turn, but that doesn't matter. Because I'm summoning Kagemusha of the Six Samurai!" Kim's stoicness was starting to fade. The tuner looked at Enishi and they both nodded, before turning into Synchro rings. "I tune my monsters together to summon someone who may look familiar! Dragonprince Jalal!"
Golden light shined out of the summoning portal, and a majestic monster stepped forward. It was a handsome knight with golden hair, dressed in scarlet armor. He held his sword out, and had a look of authority on his face. (ATK 2500)
"So this is your boss' avatar." Ivar muttered, stroking his beard. Kim raised an eyebrow, waiting for her opponent to start hurling insults at Jalal. Much to her surprise, he remained quiet.
"Because I used two monsters to summon Jalal, he gains two Fortune Counters. But I'm going to remove both of those to activate his effect, which lets me draw an additional card." She picked up the top card of her deck, not looking at it. "I attack you directly with both my monsters!"
Jalal and Enishi crossed their swords, then slashed at Ivar, knocking him into his Duel Runner. "I set this card and end my turn."
Ivar was still for a moment, and Kim wondered if she had accidentally killed him. But soon enough, he got up, and let out a hardy laugh. "That was good, young lady. But now I have to finish this." He drew a card, silently.
"I activate Kuribeckoning!" He played a strange spell card, with a comical illustration. It depicted four Kuribohs, one of which Kim recognized as Kuriblocker. The others wore a cowboy hat, a karate sash, and a bishop's mitre. The one dressed as a bishop held up a sign that said "Emergency!" in all caps. "This rare card allows me to special summon as many Kuri monsters from my graveyard as possible, but all monsters I control are destroyed during the end phase!"
The five Kuriboh brothers reappeared, looking much less chipper than the first time around. "Step two of my grand plan, I tribute Kuriboh to summon a second Kuribull!" This Kuribull had steam coming from its invisible nose. "And step three, I tribute that to special summon Kuribat!"
Kuribull vanished, replaced by a completely black Kuriboh with tiny, adorable bat wings. "Kuribat's level increases by the level of the monster I tributed for this effect! And, as you may have guessed, it's a tuner!" Kuribat turned into six black stars, which seemed like a contradiction to Kim, and surrounded the other Kuris, turning them into more stars, ten in total.
"I Synchro Summon an avatar of my employer!" Ivar cackled. "Kuribelial!" The stars collapsed, forming a black hole, and a large, menacing figure emerged. It looked like Winged Kuriboh LV 10, but... demonic, to put it simply. The wings were like those of a dragon, and the armor was silver, studded with a purple gem. The Kuriboh itself was pitch black, with red irises. (ATK 300)
Kim subconsciously reached for her sword. "Belial? Like the Archdevil? Is that who you work for?" She had been worried about dealing with the forces of Hell for a long time.
"Not in the slightest." Ivar shook his head. "The name is simply a coincidence. Now, let's get to its effect! When Kuribelial is summoned, it destroys the strongest monster on your field, and absorbs its power!" Bursts of shadowy energy shot out of the Synchro monster, attaching themselves to Jalal's card and covering him until he shattered. (ATK 2800)
"Not only that, but it deals you damage equal to the absorbed attack points!" Kuribelial faced Kim directly, and fired a beam of dark energy from the mouth of its dragon-like armor. She cried out in pain, feeling as if the life was being sucked out of her.
Kim fell to her knees, panting. "This really is a Shadow Duel."
"Yes." Ivar nodded. "Now finish her! Black Velvet Inferno!" The demonic Kuriboh blasted Enishi, but the attack was stopped dead in its tracks.
Kim stood up, her legs shaking, and pointed to her trap card. "Negate Attack keeps me safe for another round." She said, gripping her Duel Runner for support.
"It's your turn."
(KLP 900) - (ILP 2000)
Kim drew, her hand trembling. She knew she had to win this turn. "I summon Shaman of the Six Samurai!" The old itako appeared again, muttering a prayer. "And I'll activate Star Changer, to increase her level by one!" Three stars hovered over Shaman, before changing to four.
"I tune my two monsters together to summon something strong enough to defeat your devil!" Enishi was surrounded by the synchro rings, which burst into bright light. The summoning portal opened up, and a new monster came out, landing on the ground in the traditional "superhero landing" pose.
It was a warrior in white, robotic armor, studded with blue gems. "I Synchro Summon Colossal Fighter!" (ATK 2800)
Ivar shielded his eyes from the light. "They're tied for attack scores."
"Not for long. Colossal Fighter gains 100 attack points for every Warrior monster in both of our graveyards!" The futuristic warrior flexed his muscles as his score rose to 3500. "Now attack his devil!"
Colossal Fighter's fists fired out like rockets, heading towards Kuribelial. The Fiend's eyes glowed, and a shield of dark energy surrounded it, but the punch went through, shattering the monster and sending a shockwave throughout the duel field, knocking both duelists over.
Kim managed to get to her feet, just in time to see the black hole Kuribelial had emerged from reappear. The silhouette turned to face Ivar, and its tails shot forward, impaling the cards in his hand, which vanished.
The dark dwarf stood up slowly, groaning. "When Kuribelial is destroyed, it takes every card in my hand with it." He sighed. "I suppose it's my turn now?"
Kim nodded, not sure what else to do.
Ivar drew a card and looked at it. "I'll play this monster to defend my life points." He said, setting a card.
Kim didn't bother to look at what she drew. "I summon Shien's Daredevil in attack mode." Her new monster was a Japanese warrior like the rest, but with slightly different armor. He was handsome, had a long ponytail, and clutched a sword in one hand (ATK 1600)
"My Daredevil attacks your facedown monster!" The ronin rushed across the battle field and sliced apart the set card, revealing it to be Sangan. Ivar simply shrugged. "And Colossal Fighter will finish this duel!" The rocket fists fired again, but Kim's opponent barely reacted.
(KLP 900) - (ILP 0)
Ivar's obsidian necklace shattered, and the shadows covering the ally started to dissolve. Kim reached for the gemstone in her pocket, but before she could get to it, the shadows surrounded Ivar and swallowed him up.
There was no noise, no struggle, no slow descent. One minute he was there, the next he wasn't. It was a disturbing sight.
Kim stood and stared for a moment, not sure what to do. Then she quickly pulled out her cellphone and dialed a number. "Sabrina, are you okay?"
