LIGHT
Psychic/Fusion/Effect
Level 10 
ATK/DEF 3200/2100
1 "Ritual Beast Ulti-" monster + 1 "Ritual Beast Tamer" monster + 1 "Spiritual Beast" monster
Must be Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) by banishing the above cards you control, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. (You do not use "Polymerization".) If Summoned this way, this card gains this effect.
● During either player's turn, when a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated: You can banish 1 "Ritual Beast" card from your hand; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it.

 
Behold Ritual Beasts main boss. Before we talk about the card can we all just agree how great the cards artwork is. Gaiapelio isn't always required to win a duel, but when it is summoned it is pretty much game, especially when supported by Ulti-Cannahawk. Great stats, effect, artwork, and lore make this card my favorite card from Crossover Souls. This card also gives Leo 4 different forms in the game, and is pretty much a fusion of Leo, Landoise, Apelio, Lara, and technically Ouroboros.

The artwork is confusing. Is that a wing? Is the Green Greens platform behind it part of its body and is that what she's standing on?

They are wings of the armor of Ouroboros although he can't fly. Lara is sitting on the massive landmass on the back of Gaiastrio. You could look at the picture of Naturia Gaiastrio as this is pretty much him, but on fire after fusing with Ulti-Apelio. Here I'll show it to you.

Gaiapelio is, what... A Laval/Ice Barrier/Naturia/Evilswarm/Constellar/Gusto?
Artwork wise, I mean. Since I'm curious, on it potentially being the monster that is the hybrid of the most DT Archetypes.

Gaiapelio is technically a Ritual Beast since he was originally Gaiastrio who fused with Ulti-Apelio. So he falls under the archetype of Ritual Beast since he bonded with Lara. Although he was Naturia Leodrake who wore Evilswarm Ouroboros' armor becoming Leo, Keeper of the Sacred Tree, who then fused with Naturia Landoise becoming Naturia Gaiastrio, who then fused with Ritual Beast Ulti-Apelio, who was a fusion of Ritual Beast Tamer Lara and Spiritual Beast Apelio, and the Ritual Beast Tamers happen to be descendants of the Gustos who still live in Naturia Forest (man that was a mouth full). So he is technically part Naturia, Gusto, Ritual Beast, and Evilswarm.

Also Constellar, as the armor he and Roach/Exciton wear is based on both Kerykeion (who is where Ouroboros ACTUALLY is, this is a recreation/imitation armor) and Sombres. Both of which are constellars, and the latter is also a Gem-Knight.

Oh yeah, I forgot Kerykeion absorbed the original Ouroboros. Its strange how everyone is wearing poor Trishula as armor.

I think it's best to look at it in a ways that the Nekroz Mirror reflects the spirit of the being onto you. All Nekroz armaments belong to deceased monsters after all. Though I'm not 100% certain on whether or not Catastor and Decisive Armor even had souls.

Clausolas died along with the rest of the Mist Valley critters. As for the Ice Barrier Dragons, it was said when Rasalhague ascended to Kerykeion, he also absorbed the power of the 3 Verzed Ice Barrier Dragons, which took the form of the three orbs that floated around him. Some of that power was shared with Leodrake, which turned him into Leoh. Then Kery and Sombres did the twin dragon thing and Kery probably released the trio.

 

The best way to look at it is thinking back to the Exo Mirror. Shrit, Dance Princess, Exa, and Sorcerer all possess one. Exo refers to exterior, like an exoskeleton or exosuit. The Nekroz rituals are all pretty much Kamen Riders who probably use the lingering power of who they're wearing. Or, if possible, they possess remnants of their model in order to channel their power. Like Shrit has a Clausolas feather, and scales or fangs or what have you from Brionac and Trish.

Now that I think about it, it is highly likely that Gaiapelio is at this point wearing the original Ouroboros or actual remnants of him, as Zefranaga who is the current form of Kerykeion no longer appears to be wearing it.

On the case of Nekroz, it is highly likely that they either base their armor off of past beings or they use actual remnants to create them. I find it more likely being the first one, for two main reasons. The armors themselves do seem to grant Nekroz incredible powers based on who the armor represents, but generally speaking, the Nekroz versions seem to be limited or in the case of Nekroz of Trishula, much weaker than their original. This is even better shown in the case of Nekroz of Sophia, who is tremendously smaller and weaker than the original Sophia, and not to mention I find it highly unlikely that they managed to find her remnants since she had been completely destroyed by Kerykeion and Sombre. Sadly Nekroz in general are still a big mystery as we know very little of their abilities and their relations.
