Each creature in DATAHunter possesses one or two primary types, which influence their strengths and weaknesses against other creatures. Certain types are super effective against others, while others are less effective or even ineffective. This system creates a dynamic interplay between different creatures, encouraging players to build balanced teams that can adapt to various opponents.<br>
