Forum:Dark Necrofear Question

If i have dark necrofear (or any monster that says it can only be special summoned by _______. in this case, removing from play 3 fiends.) removed from play and i play return from the different dimension, do i have to remove from play three monsters to special summon dark necrofear? I guess the more general question is in order to special summon a monster by a card effect, do i have to meet its own special summoning requirements?148.100.219.51 19:23, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
