Shrubb

"The willowy Shrubb performs continually in a graceful ballet. This statuesque monster has astounding stamina, ensuring a steady source of modulation and sprayed saliva for the entire island."

Description
The Shrubb has a green bush for a body plus a head, twiggy arms, legs, feet and hands and vine-like growth resembling a beard on its chin. It also has a small shrub on its back.

When this monster is idle, it stays in tempo with a simple pattern of arm and leg movement.

As it plays rhythms with its mouth, the Shrubb hops and buzzes its lips and the arm movement becomes more complex, making movements that somewhat resemble plucking the strings and working the frets of an invisible double-bass.

Song
Audio sample:

The Shrubb's contribution to an Island's song is a percussive rhythm, produced by beatboxing and buzzing its lips together.

Breeding
The Shrubb can be produced by breeding monsters with the elements of Plant and Earth.

Halloween
During the Halloween Season in October of 2014, all Shrubbs (on all the islands) dressed as clowns. They were completely covered in brightly colored mismatched clothing, with stripes, polka-dots, and patches; large shoes with a flower printed on them, and white gloves. The Shrubb's face was painted white with red lips and a red ball for a nose, and bright red hair. The only thing visible of the Shrubb's normal appearance was the one branch sticking out of the monster's back.

This costume did not appear in 2015. This however reappeared in 28th October 2016.

Christmas
During the Christmas time of 2015, the Shrubb wore a simple Santa hat. The Santa hat does not move around while this monster does any dancing around.
