MoonCancer (ムーンキャンサー, MūnKyansā?), the Irregular who threatens the world of the moon (月の世界において世界を脅かすイレギュラー, tsuki no sekai ni oite sekai wo udokasu Iregyurā?), is a non-standard Extra Servant Class.
Qualifications[]
MoonCancer is a Class originally developed by BB, a figure of the Moon Cell.[1] One means of manifesting in the class is manipulation by BB. The very act of BB being an intermediary to form a connection between Ganesha and Jinako Carigiri as a Pseudo-Servant grants the resulting Servant the MoonCancer class.[1] As the origin of the Class, BB can act as a MoonCancer Stabilizer (ムーンキャンサーに安定装置?), shortened as MC Stabilizer (ＭＣスタビライザー?), to look over MoonCancer Saint Graphs.[1]
According to BB Dubai, the purpose the MoonCancer class was created was to gather the destroyers of Humanity who wish to eradicate Mankind and, via an event known as Archetype Inception, determine who is the most deserving to be "final boss" who will determine the exact method for how mankind becomes extinct in the parallel future in the year 2999, as well as who will become the next Prime Species.[2][3] BB Dubai can grant the Class to any aspiring Heroic Spirit submitting an application form.[4] However, this is ultimately revealed to be a lie, as MoonCancers can be challenges to humanity but are never its enemies. The real purpose of the class is later revealed to be that of non-human partners and caretakers of humanity, who will ultimately ensure that it will be able to die out peacefully after a new Archetype is created and see to it that they are able to advance to that point.[citation needed]
Another key figure of MoonCancers is Kiara Sessyoin, who gains her own version of the Class Tarot Card upon her summoning in the Class.[5] Kiara says that both she and BB "scarred the moon" during the Moon Holy Grail War, and Kiara says her personal qualifications must be due to the happenings in the War.[6] Space Ereshkigal states that Kiara's status as a Star Eater may make her the only one fitting to be a MoonCancer in the Class' truest essence.[7]
Another key figure of MoonCancers is Arcueid Brunestud, who also gains her own version of the Class Tarot Card upon her summoning in the Class.[8] An incident involving C.I.E.L. caused the latter to gain the MoonCancer class as well.
The Class is described as very rare,[9] and Chaldea Security Organization considers it to be a "mysterious category."[10]

Development[]
MoonCancer first appeared in Fate/EXTRA CCC as the designation for BB in her Matrix profile and boss battle, but she was not a Servant. The class first appeared in 2017 with BB's implementation into Fate/Grand Order as a Servant. The tarot card art was based on BB.
Kiara card art change
Upon MoonCancer Kiara Sessyoin's introduction in 2020, the class became unique in having an alternate tarot card art based upon Kiara. Within the game's servant summoning animations, the animation for the Kiara art had a unique effect.
Arcueid card art change
Upon MoonCancer Archetype: Earth's introduction in 2022, the class again gained another alternate tarot card art based on Arcueid Brunestud. Within the game's servant summoning animations, the animation for the Arcueid art had a unique effect.
