Scups

"Versatile Scups can readily adhere to most any surface when the need arises. Generally, it prefers to remain on the earth, as its water-filled body is quite heavy. The Scups' remarkable feet use air to produce a call that can travel vast distances."

Description
The Scups is a peculiar creature, to say the least. Its body, which has a vague resemblance to a heart, is colored ocean blue. It has two yellow trumpet-like horns on its head. Its two purple and blue striped legs are somewhat long, and end with plunger-like feet.

When this monster is idle, it stays in tempo by slowly marching in place, avoiding making any suction noises.

Song
Audio sample:

The Scups's song sounds like suction cups getting pulled off of hardwood and getting stuck back on.

Breeding
The Scups can be bred using monsters that combine to provide all the elements of Air, Earth and Water. Possible combinations:
 * Tweedle.png + Fwog.png Tweedle and Fwog
 * Noggin.png + Quibble.png Noggin and Quibble
 * Toe Jammer.png + Cybop.png Toe Jammer and Cybop

Because Tweedle and Fwog take much less time to hatch than both Quibble and Cybop, the first combination will provide more breeding opportunities in the same time period (on average).

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 three 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 "Scups" may come from the portmanteau of suction cups that the monster has. In addition to this, the Scups "scoops" its feet off the ground to create the suction cup sound.
