Special Summon-only monsters, informally known as Semi-Nomi monsters, is a category of Special Summon Monsters with printed Special Summoning procedures, and can be Special Summoned by effects (from public knowledge locations) once they are properly Special Summoned.
They are distinguished from "Nomi" monsters, who also have printed Special Summoning procedures, but cannot be Special Summoned by effects even after they are properly Special Summoned.

Card text
Special Summon-only monsters can be identified by the card text "Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned..." (or an older variant).[1] Ritual, Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link Monsters that are Special Summon-only monsters do not include the text "Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set." because it is unnecessary; if they can be Ritual/Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Link Summoned, they replace "Special Summoned" with "Ritual/Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Link Summoned".
