Effect

Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. If an "Aesir" monster is on the field, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand) to your opponent's side of the field in Defense Position. If an "Aesir" monster is not on the field, destroy this card. If this face-up Defense Position card you control is changed to face-up Attack Position: Take 3000 damage. This effect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field.

Effect #0

"This card cannot be Normal Summoned. You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) to your opponent's field in Defense Position if there is a 'Nordic' monster on the field" is not treated as a monster effect. (This is a condition to Special Summon a Special Summon Monster. A Chain Link is not built when Special Summoning in this way.)

If "Jormungandr the Nordic Serpent" was successfully Special Summoned from the hand by the method written in its text and is subsequently sent to the Graveyard, it can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by the effect of "Monster Reborn" or similar cards.
