 * This article is about the Monsters of My Singing Monsters. For the Monsters of My Singing Monsters: Dawn of Fire, see Monsters (Dawn of Fire).

Monsters are the heart and foundation of My Singing Monsters. So far, as of now, there are currently 126 known monsters to buy or breed, excluding the monsters from Dawn of Fire. Each of these creatures have distinctive voices or sounds that they use to contribute to the various songs found in the game. Once monsters are collected, they can be muted and unmuted in order to create a unique mix. In addition, a Time Machine can be purchased to speed up or slow down the tempo, or a Recording Studio to change the voices of monsters entirely.

According to Big Blue Bubble, there are 30+ unique regular monsters.

Every monster has the ability to produce Currency; most produce it in the form of Coins or Shards, while few can produce it in the form of Diamonds  or Food. The former ability can be magnified by the monster's Happiness, a special trait that varies with every monster species.

Monster List
Throughout the monster universe, monsters are divided into classes that categorize monsters based on similar qualities or characteristics. According to the MSM YouTube page, there are eight classes across the monster universe, including those found in My Singing Monsters' prequel, Dawn of Fire: Natural, Ethereal, Supernatural, Legendary, Seasonal, Rare, Dipster, and Celestial (exclusive to Dawn of Fire). Another special type of monster, Mythical Monsters, are not included as a class because they are not accessible to everyone. The full list of monsters is below, including which Islands they are available on.

Alternately, the monsters available on a given island can be found on their respective island pages: Plant Island, Cold Island , Air Island , Water Island , Earth Island , Gold Island , Ethereal Island , Shugabush Island , Tribal Island , Wublin Island , the Mirror Islands , and Composer Island.

My Singing Monsters is published in multiple languages. A table of translations can be found here.

The icons of each monster can be found here.

Natural Monsters
Main Article: Natural Monsters

Natural Monsters are the basic creatures encountered in My Singing Monsters. Each monster is associated with one or more of the five base Elements: Earth, Cold , Water , Plant , and/or Air. Only four out of five of these elements will appear on the natural islands, with some exceptions depending on the island.

Another natural element, Fire, of which its class can be discovered in the prequel game to My Singing Monsters, Dawn of Fire, is only found on Tribal Island and is manifested by the Kayna. Unlike most monsters, the Kayna cannot be bred in My Singing Monsters.

Single Element
Main Article: Single Element Monsters

These monsters can be bought from the Market.

Double Element
Main Article: Double Element Monsters

''These monsters can be bred from two Single-Element Monsters. ''

Double Element Monsters are easy to breed -- the success rate is 100%.

Triple Element
Main Article: Triple Element Monsters

''These monsters can be bred from one Single-Element Monster and one Double-Element Monster. ''

Monsters of this kind are slightly more difficult to breed. There can be a few breeding failures but this category is not as hard to breed as some other types of monsters. Note that if one of these monsters are bred with a Quad Element Monster, the Triple Element Monster will always be the result except in the rare case that an Ethereal Monster is produced.

Quad Element
Main Article: Quad Element Monsters

These monsters can be bred from one Single-Element Monster and one Triple-Element Monster, or from two Double-Element Monsters.

Because of the complexity of these monster elements, it is difficult to successfully breed these monsters. Breeding a Triple Element Monster with a Single Element Monster has the best chance of success.

Ethereal Monsters
Main Article: Ethereal Monsters

Ethereal Monsters are a special class of monster with their own unique qualities and their own island, Ethereal Island. Each monster is associated with one or more of the five ethereal elements: Plasma, Shadow , Mech , Crystal , and/or Poison. The Single Element Ethereal Monsters obtained by breeding a Triple Element Monster with a Quad Element Monster on the Natural/Mirror Islands. These monsters are hard to acquire since there is only about a 1% chance per try of breeding them on the Natural/Mirror Islands. It is also very difficult to successfully breed Double Element Ethereal Monsters, which are only found on Ethereal Island. Like Natural Monsters, each "parent" gives a certain element in the gene pool for the "child", which only works on Ethereal Island.

Supernatural Monsters
Main Article: Supernatural Monsters

There are fifteen Supernatural Monsters: the Wubbox and the Wublins, all of which manifest one element, Electricity. The Wubbox and the Wublins do not follow the same rules as the other monsters; they must be activated by placing other monsters inside them. They cannot be bred. Instead, they must be bought from the Market. All of the Wublins are located on their own island, Wublin Island, but the Wubbox is only found on the Natural Islands/their respective Mirror Island and Ethereal Island.

Legendary Monsters
Main Article: Legendary Monsters

Legendary Monsters are a special class of monster, all of which manifest one element, Legendary. These monsters have their own unique qualities; for example, each has its own special guitar or drums and a special hat. Like the Ethereal Monsters, they also have their own Island, Shugabush Island. These monsters must be bred from a Shugabush (apart from the Shugabush itself), which is very hard to breed. They are still not as hard to obtain as the Ethereal Monsters.

Seasonal Monsters
Main Article: Seasonal Monsters

Seasonal Monsters are limited time monsters and they are only available to buy or breed during specific times of the year. These monsters manifest one of five different elements which go along with the five seasonal holidays observed in MSM: Halloween, Christmas , Valentine's Day , Easter (Egg), or Summer. Seasonal Monsters are considered more difficult to obtain than Quad Element Monsters but not as difficult to obtain as Single Element Ethereal Monsters. Seasonal Monsters can be acquired outside of their specific season through certain events and the scratch egg ticket, which is available in the nursery once per week although, it is very rare to get one this way.

These monsters were once called "Limited Time Monsters", then "Special Edition Monsters". As of the v1.2.5 update, the developers changed the class from "Special Edition" to "Seasonal" in their information.

Mythical Monsters
Main Article: Vita Exclusive Monsters

Vita Exclusive Monsters are only available on Playstation Vita devices. These monsters manifest one element, Mythical. Currently, only two of these monsters exist. In addition, Mythical Monsters are not included on the official class list because they are exclusive to the PS Vita version only, and therefore not accessible to everyone.

Rare Monsters
Main Article: Rare Monsters

Rare Monsters are special counterparts of the normal monsters in My Singing Monsters. Similar to their normal version, these monsters have the same song and animation (except the Rare Wubbox), egg design, elemental type, breeding combination, and general size. Compared to normal monsters, Rare Monsters have longer breeding times, have different Likes, and they generate more Coins/Shards. In addition, Rares comprise only one class. To illustrate, Rare Seasonal Monsters and Rare Natural Monsters are not two separate classes, rather they are both part of the same class, "Rare."

As of the 2.0.0 Update, Rare Monsters are no longer always available for purchase in the StarShop on the Natural Islands. According to the MSM Facebook page, the availability of Rares in the StarShop was reduced in order to "preserve their special status and the challenged involved in collecting them."

Since October 5th, 2016, Rare Natural Monsters are put on a rotational basis every Wednesday through a Daily Deal called a Rares Duet. This allows two particular Rare Natural Monsters to be available for purchase in the StarShop for a limited amount of time.

Rare Single Element
''Like all Rare Natural Monsters, these monsters are only available to be bought from the StarShop with Starpower or bred/purchased from the Market with Diamonds during Daily Deals or weekend deals for a limited amount of time. ''

They are bred by combining any two Triple-Element Monsters with one of the Triple-Element Monsters having the Rare Single-Element Monster's element in it.

Rare Double Element
''Like all Rare Natural Monsters, these monsters are only available to be bought from the StarShop with Starpower or bred/purchased from the Market with Diamonds during Daily Deals or weekend deals for a limited amount of time. ''

They are bred in the same way that their normal counterparts are bred: by combining two Single-Element Monsters, although there is a less chance to get the monsters listed below.

Rare Triple Element
Like all Rare Natural Monsters, these monsters are only available to be bought from the StarShop with Starpower or bred/purchased from the Market with Diamonds during Daily Deals or weekend deals for a limited amount of time.

They are bred in the same way that their normal counterparts are bred: by combining one Single Element Monster with one Double Element Monster, although there is a less chance to get the monsters listed below.

Rare Quad Element
Like all Rare Natural Monsters, these monsters are only available to be bought from the StarShop with Starpower or bred/purchased from the Market with Diamonds during Daily Deals or weekend deals for a limited amount of time.

They are bred in the same way that their normal counterparts are bred: ''by combining one Single-Element Monster with one Triple-Element Monster, or by combining two Double-Element Monsters, although there is a less chance to get the monsters listed below. Like their normal counterparts, b reeding a Triple Element Monster with a Single Element Monster has the best chance of success. ''

Rare Ethereal (Rarethereal) Monsters
These monsters can only be acquired during Daily Deals or weekend deals by breeding or purchasing them from the Market with Diamonds.

''They are bred in the same way that their normal counterparts are bred. The Rare Single Element Ethereal Monsters are obtained by breeding a Triple Element Monster with a Quad Element Monster on the Natural/Mirror Islands, although there is a less chance to get the monsters listed below. Breeding with Rare Monsters on the Natural Islands will increase the chance of breeding success. The Rare Double Element Ethereal Monsters are bred by combining two Single-Element Monsters on Ethereal Island.''

Rare Supernatural Monsters
''As the Wublins do not have Rare versions, the only Rare Supernatural Monster is the Rare Wubbox. The Rare Wubbox can always be bought from the StarShop with 1 for all islands (including mirrors) except for Ethereal, Shugabush and Wublin Islands. It can be placed on Gold.''

''Like normal Supernatural Monsters, other monsters are required to be filled into Rare Supernatural Monsters in order to activate them. The only difference between normal Supernatural Monsters and Rare Supernatural Monsters is that they require Rare Monsters instead of Natural Monsters.''

Rare Seasonal Monsters
''These monsters can only be acquired for a very limited amount of time within specific seasons of the year by breeding or purchasing them from the Market with Diamonds. ''

They are bred in the same way that their normal counterparts are bred, although there is a less chance to get the monsters listed below.

Dipsters
Main Article: Dipsters

Dipsters are a special type of monster that sing single notes as they pop out of their holes in the ground. They can be bought in the Market with Keys. These monsters do not take up any beds and can be bought on any Natural Island (i.e. Plant, Cold, Air, Water and Earth Islands) and their respective Mirror Island for a certain amount of keys. Only ten of each type of Dipster can be purchased per island.

Breeding
Main Article: Breeding

With the exception of the Single Element Natural Monsters, the Wubbox, the Wublins (which are all purchased from the Market with ), the Rare Wubbox (which is purchased from the StarShop with ), and Dipsters (which are purchased from the Market with ), every other monster in the game is obtainable through breeding.
 * The Breeding page contains a quick reference for breeding monsters.
 * Visit the Breeding Structure page for some discussion on which combination is "best".
 * When choosing which monsters to breed, it does not matter which monster is on the left or right column.

Eggs
Main Article: Eggs

Each monster, excluding the Wublins and Dipsters, has its own unique Egg, so even in egg form it can be identified. The Rares share the same egg look as their regular counterpart.

Feeding Monsters
Main Article: Feeding

A monster's level increases every four meals it is fed, up to a maximum of fifteen levels. (Food can be made in a Bakery.) When a monster's level increases, so does the amount of coins it earns per minute, the maximum amount of coins it can hold, and the amount of food necessary for each of its meals. It also gets bigger within its space(s) on the island, at levels 4, 10, and 15. At level 4, it can be used for breeding. Reaching level 15 will allow a monster to be placed on Gold Island, or sent to Ethereal Island or Shugabush Island, depending on the monster.

Likes
Main Article: Likes

Each monster, excluding the Wublins, has at least four different things that they like on each island. For every unique object that they like that is placed near them, that monster's happiness will increase by 25%. Placing two of the same item near a monster will still only increase its happiness by 25%. How quickly monsters earn coins is based on their Happiness.

Normally, for something to increase a monster's happiness, the two objects must be placed side by side. However, purchasing a Unity Tree from the Market (available at level 16) will allow decorations and monsters to be placed anywhere on an island, including into Storage or a Hotel, without affecting the monster's happiness level.

There is a list of which monsters like what items on each island. There is also a list of which decorations are liked by each monster.

Trivia

 * If one could use real-world science to study monsters, all Natural Monsters would have the same species, not +30, as said by BBB. This happens because, biologically, only monsters of the same species are able to breed and almost always produce a fertile offspring (another Natural Monster).
 * Rare Monsters would be of the same species as Natural ones: they would be, as expected, variants of their common counterparts, much like dog or cat breeds.
 * Ethereal and Legendary Monsters come from dimensions parallell to the Monster World, so science isn't able to explain them at all.


 * In order to send secret messages to players, BBB uses an English-based language called Monstrous, which is implied, according to in-game lore, to be invented by the Monsters themselves.
