Nuvia the Wicked

 This card is similar to Boar Soldier. Both monsters are Level 4 with 2000 ATK that have an effect that destroy themselves if they are Normal Summoned and they both have a second effect that makes them lose ATK if the opponent controls monsters.

---

This card's name is likely derived from Nubia, an area in Egypt which was once an independent kingdom, but now comprises parts of southern Egypt and northern Sudan, which follows in with the Egyptian theme of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga) series.

Nubian Guard is another card with a similar name.

---

This card's artworks are both taken from  specifically from the panel where this monster is shown being Summoned.

This card was a Normal Monster when it first appeared in the manga, but became an effect monster when it appeared in the card game. More specifically, it had restrictions added to it, since it was a level 4 monster with more than 1,900 ATK.
