"Mara of the Nordic Alfar":

"Mara" is the Germanic word for "goblin" or "nightmare".
- "Mara" also is the name for a specter or wraith-like creature in Germanic and particularly Scandinavian folklore, thought to cause nightmares.

This card's effect is similar to that of "Malefic Parallel Gear", "Eccentric Boy", and "T.G. Cyber Magician".

This is the 2nd "Nordic Alfar" monster not to be shown in the anime; the 1st was "Dverg of the Nordic Alfar".
- In addition, this is the 2nd TCG-exclusive "Nordic" monster (1st being "Vanadis of the Nordic Ascendant") as well as being the 4th TCG-exclusive card made.
