"Nordic Beast", known as "Polar Star Beast" (きょくせいじゅう Kyokuseijū) in the Japanese OCG and anime, is a sub-archetype of the "Nordic" archetype, consisting of Beast-Type monsters that are used by Dragan in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime.

Design

The "Nordic Beast" monsters are based on legendary beasts and animals found in Norse mythology. Some of the monsters' mythological counterparts are related to the Norse God Thor:

Garmr and Gullinbursti, alternatively, are associated with Hel and the Vanir god Freyr. In gameplay, the "Nordic Beast" monsters are associated with "Thor, Lord of the Aesir". Most "Nordic Beast" monsters have effects related to Special Summoning.
