Maw

"The eyeless Maw is a refined combination of cold and water elements. Its dense fur acts as a general sensory organ, and provides efficient insulation to maintain a liquid body interior. Maws are a little mouthy. Tonguey too."

Description
The Maw is a big pink ball of fur. It has red bumps on the side of its body, and yellow spots of fur on its top. It has a massive mouth with purple lips.

When idle, the Maw occasionally sticks out its large tongue and then pulls it back in, and sometimes it hops.

Song
Audio sample:

The Maw sings "deedee" with its mouth. Its sound can be easily distinguished amongst other monsters, and their contribution varies with each island. Their sound is pleasant, however it is difficult to describe in text.

The Maw also sings using syncopation, where it sings in a rhythm that is unusual to basic rhythms.

Breeding
The Maw can be produced by breeding monsters with the elements of Cold and Water.

Earning Rate and Maximum Income
Earning rate is in coins per hour and depends on Happiness % (Likes increase Happiness), also each monster has a limit to how much income it can hold at a time. Increasing the monster's level increases the limit.

Feeding Monsters
Each monster needs to be fed four times before it reaches the next level. Increasing the monster's level increases the coins earned per minute, as well as the maximum coins earned. The food per level is the same for all double element monsters and can be found in this article.

Likes
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% (in other words, placing two of the same liked item near a monster will still only increase happiness by 25%).

Rare Version
Rares are special versions of monsters that are only available to buy and breed on weekends. Each weekend a different rare is available to buy or breed. The breeding combination is the same as a regular monster, but the breeding time is longer, the "likes" are different, and the earning rates are higher. They are not yet available in the Windows version of the game.
