Maw

MSM Bio: "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."

MSM Composer Bio: "The Maw appears to be nothing but a large mouth, so it's a mystery where it stores its lungs in order to be able to sing. Nonetheless, it squeaks out a high-pitched, self-harmonizing tone."

Description
The Maw is a big, furry pink ball-like monster with 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.

This costume did not appear since 2015 though.
