A Special Summon monster (特殊召喚モンスター Tokushu Shōkan Monsutā), is type of monster that was introduced in the OCG with the release of Deck Custom Pack 01. They have a rule or condition that prevents it from being Normal Summoned and Normal Set. It often has a Summoning Condition that restricts how the monster must be Special Summoned. Therefore, most of these monsters are considered Nomi or Semi-Nomi monsters.
Monsters with the "Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set."[note] line in their text are all considered Special Summon Monsters, as well as Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, and Xyz Monsters.
Any monster that is not a Special Summon Monster is considered a Normal Summon Monster.

Notes
