Clavavera

Template:Infobox Monster

> The statuesque Clavavera cuts a dashing figure wherever it appears, but it's best-known for the unique effects that the sound of its special, dexterous fingers can produce. When struck together, the bright, clean tone this Clackula relative makes can cause all those in the vicinity to perceive and interact with Monster ancestors from bygone eras. The spirits, who have passed on to the 'Beat Hereafter,' recount stories of glorious songs of yore and reassure their descendants that any Monster, living or departed, can tune in to the 'heartbeat of forever' if they're only listening. The Clavavera keeps the exact nature of the Beat Hereafter mostly to itself.

## Notes

 File:Clavavera (Old Design).png   File:Clavavera-egg (Old Design).png   File:Clavavera Portrait (Old Design).png
* Its name comes from claves, its instrument, and ***calavera*** *de caramelo*, the Spanish name for candy skull. This was confirmed by Big Blue Bubble themselves in this blog post.
* Clavavera's original design received some backlash due to the colors being considered offensive to Mexican culture, which BBB consulted with the Latino community. It was redesigned on October 26th, 2022 upon the release of the first Beat Hereafter event to more accurately represent Día de los Muertos. Its egg and portrait were updated as well to match the redesign.
* Clavavera is the eighth Seasonal Monster ever to be released.
* Clavavera was the second Seasonal Shanty exclusive monster at launch, with the first being Jam Boree.
* In the bio for Clavavera, it is confirmed that it is related to Clackula.
	+ This makes Clavavera the third Seasonal whose bio confirms it to be relatives with another monster, after Blabbit and Hoola.
* Clavavera is the third monster which design was changed after release. The first being Hawlo and second being Jam Boree.
* Clavavera is the first Seasonal to arrive within another Seasonal event.
* Clavavera is the first non-vocal Seasonal. However, Yool is the first Seasonal to play an instrument. Jam Boree also counts as an instrument because its voice is actually a synth.
* Clavavera is the only 1x1 Seasonal Monster.
* Clavavera was first teased on the Spooktacle 2021 loading screen (above & below the "er" in "Monsters").
* Clavavera was teased again here: File:Static-assets-upload15920835575121401314.png
* Clavavera's bio reveals that there is an afterlife that monsters undergo after passing away, called the Beat Hereafter. Through its song, nearby living monsters become able to communicate with other monsters there. What else is known about this afterlife seems to be kept a secret by Clavavera.
	+ It also reveals a spiritual ability that all monsters have to listen to a "Heartbeat of Forever".
* At release, Clavavera's legs did not move at all during its singing animation. This was later fixed at the Festival of Yay 2021.
* Clavavera’s appearance is inspired by the figure of La Catrina, and named as a portmanteau of the instrument ‘claves’, a pair of wooden sticks which create a bright, piercing clack, and calavera, the candy skull decorations for which Día de los Muertos is so well known. Special attention was paid to respect cultural aspects like the inclusion of accurately-colored cempasúchil (the iconic flowers) in the character’s crown to keep it more aligned with traditional depictions. Its multicolored feathers have been shed like leaves in autumn, replaced with a lace-like veil and branches to create a radiating and crown-like effect.
* Clavavera was the second Auxiliary Seasonal to be put on a Island, first being Gobbleygourd, who was also the first ever Aux. Seasonal.
	+ Clavavera is also the first Auxiliary Seasonal that used to be exclusive to the Seasonal Shanty to go to its forever home.
