PongPing

*“There's a persistent cliché that you can either be a music fan or a sports nut, but not both - and the PongPing proves otherwise! Even though its vermiform body is better suited to standing activities like table tennis, the Monster also loves embarking on cross-island marathons, no matter how long they take. To keep its spirits up on the way, the PongPing uses its paddles to practice a series of rhythmic rudiments on its inflatable cheeks. When intense weather or fatigue threaten to discourage, the Monster likes to remember the optimistic adage its forebears always used to say: "Life is like a music box of Chokkolits... wait, why are there Chokkolits in a music box? What a mess! Oh well, let's get started on clean-up." We know, it's kind of convoluted.” - Common Bio*

*"As befits any great athlete OR musician, the Rare PongPing has absolutely phenomenal hair. Not that you should ever be distracted by something superficial like that when you're assessing a being's sportsMonship or musicality - but it never hurts. Unlike the slapdash paddles of its Common cousin, the Rare carefully crafts ornate and sturdy fans that can also double perfectly as marshalling wands that can safely guide flying visitors to taxi successfully. Since the fans are quite a bit sharper as well, extra care must also be taken when striking its inflatable cheeks - but that's no issue for the Rare PongPing who practices mindfulness and meditation." - Rare Bio*

## Description & Breeding

PongPing is a Quad-Elemental, with the Elements of Earth, Cold, Plant, and Fire. It can be found on various Islands, and it can be teleported to Amber Island once it reaches Level 20. Additionally it can be teleported to the Colossingum at Level 10. For its sound, the PongPing hits its inflated cheeks, created a sound that is similar to one flicking their throat. The Breeding Combinations for the PongPing are as follows:

* Clamble  +  Kayna
* Ziggurab  +  Potbelly
* Repatillo  +  Mammott
* Sooza  +  Noggin

Note that like most Rares, the Rare PongPing can be bred using the same combination as its Common cousin.

## Likes

Nearly every Monster has four likes, that must be placed near the Monster (unless a Unity Tree is placed), which increase their happiness in 25% increments until 100% Happiness. The higher a Monster’s Happiness, its Max Rate and Rate of Production will increase. Every Monster also has one Mystery Like, which the player must experiment to discover.

## Dawn of Fire

*“The rookie PongPing is more of an enthusiast than an athlete - using the special paddles it totes around to bat playfully at its inflatable cheeks. However, practice makes perfect, and with the right training and attitude, this spunky monsterling might one day harness the 'fire down below' to achieve sports stardom...” - Young Bio*

*“When it comes to athletic training regimens, the seasoned PongPing spares no expense - devouring only the most health-conscious and sensible snacks (at breakneck speeds, mind you) and tirelessly whiff-whaffing with any Monster foolish enough to challenge it to a game of table tennis. When opponents are scarce, the PongPing is a master of self-directed play, and will happily exercise its musical muscles to keep its cheeks limber.” - Adult Bio (DOF)*

## Favored Items

In Dawn of Fire, most Monsters have “Favored Items”. This means that a certain Monster may request a certain item more frequently than it does any other ones. Giving Monsters a favored item doesn’t give a bonus though - it just means that Monsters will likely request those items more often than not. Stocking up on the favored items of a Monster may be a good way to level them up quickly. The PongPing's Favored Items include:

* *Dartboard (Level 34)*
* *Garden Salad (Level 42)*
* *Healthy Smoothie (Level 54)*
