Monculus

*"Back when the Monster World was new, the Colossals pioneered a special process called Life-Formula: the imbuement of vitalizing energies into sculptures of fantastical creatures, plucked right from giant spirits' imaginations. In this way would the nascent reality be populated, and the Monculus was among the very first prototype Singing Monsters awakened by the so-called 'spark of life'. Fashioned from Bubblerite, the versatile building material favored most by the Colossals, its moving parts are manipulated by the rare plasmic form of Krystillium, the first-ever Crystal to be created. Initially pocket-sized, it can grow to imposing heights to sputter out its hauntingly beautiful refrain.*"

It sings to produce a heavily autotuned resounding synth chord, similar to the roars of Epic Wubbox, and the autotuned singing of the Rare Wubbox.

## Breeding

Monculus can be bred with the following breeding combo:

Hoola + Yool

Every monster has different things that they like. For every unique object that they like that's placed near the monster, the monster's happiness will increase by 25%. Placing more than one of *the same liked item* near a monster will still only increase its happiness by 25%. If there's a Unity Tree on the island, items don't need to be near the monsters. Below are the things liked by Monculus:

* Life-Formula Path (requires level ?)
* Barbloo Statue (level 13)
* Meldablend (level 5)

## Notes

* Its name is a corruption of the word "Homunculus", a humanoid statue, with the prefix "Mon" for Monster.
* It is the first appearance of Krystillium in the main game. Krystillium is the crystal naturally found in the pocket dimension.
	+ This possibly hints to Monculus going to Ethereal Island someday.
* Its breeding time, 20:04:00, is likely a reference to the year Big Blue Bubble Inc. was founded, in 2004.
	+ Its maximum coin income at Level 1 is 2,004, which is also a reference to Big Blue Bubble's creation.
* Monculus's internal name is "Golem", as shown on its image name on the Big Blue Bubble website.
* As its bio states, Monculus is one of the first monsters to be awakened by the spark of life. This spark of life may also be the same spark of life that resurrects Wublins, and powers the Wubbox. Much like how the Colossals created Monculus from a bubblerite sculpture with the spark of life, they also inspired the Celestials, which may have been what inspired Galvana to create the Wubbox.
