Quarrister

"The first stage of the Quarrister's life cycle begins deep underground. Each head is a separate creature, feeding on crystals and fending for themselves. Eventually, groups of heads band together and harmonize their efforts until they physically fuse together. Every once in a while, one of the Quarrister's voices will go for a solo, but that kind of behaviour is usually seen as big-headed."

Description
The Quarrister is similar to a human giant made of gray stone. It has six flat heads, each one with a different green hair design and face, including each distinct part of its singing. When idle, it flexes its knees in rhythm with the rest of the song.

Song
Audio sample:

All of the heads harmonize together, with "ahhs" and "ohs" with the Mammott, Potbelly, and Reedling. Some of the flat heads start and stop singing at different times, causing the frequency of their sound to change. Together they produce a Gregorian Chant.

On Tribal Island, the monster sings with the Cybop, making a similar singing timbre as the Mammott, instead singing "ahh"s. It now sings similarly to the Cybop's song: "Shum bum ba-daedle-um bum, Belum bum ba-daedle-bum, Belum bum, Ba-daedle-um Bubbloodlay!"

Breeding
The Quarrister can be bred using monsters that combine to provide all the elements Plant, Cold, Air and Earth without repeating any.

The following pairs of 2-element monsters can be used to breed a Quarrister:
 * Dandidoo.png + Drumpler.png Dandidoo and Drumpler
 * Cybop.png + Furcorn.png Cybop and Furcorn
 * Pango.png + Shrubb.png Pango and Shrubb

However, the combination of a 3-element with 1-element monster has a higher rate of success:
 * Reedling.png + Mammott.png Reedling and Mammott
 * Thumpies.png + Noggin.png Thumpies and Noggin
 * Pompom.png + Potbelly.png Pompom and Potbelly
 * Clamble.png + Tweedle.png Clamble and Tweedle

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. The food per level is the same for all four element monsters and can be found in this article.

Strategy
Some items to take into consideration when designing your island by strategy are number of beds for the monster, rate of income per bed, max income per bed, and time for max income to be reached. The income below is for level 15:

Name Origin
The name "Quarrister" seems to be a combination of "quarry," where rocks are mined, and "chorister," a singer in a chorus.

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.
