PomPom

"The PomPom grows brilliant pink plumes by eating only foods that are red. The pelt may grow to be very long. While dancing and emitting its strident cry, the PomPom is an arresting sight."

Description
The PomPom is a pink furry humanoid creature with pink pompoms. Its legs, arms, and feet are peach with orange stripes, and on its legs it has pink fur resembling leg warmers. Its "hair" is tied into two pigtails at the sides of its head and it has a tuft of pink sticking out at the top. It looks and behaves much like a human cheerleader.

When this monster is idle, it stays in tempo by marching in place and periodically jumping in cheer.

Song
Audio sample:

The PomPom Monster's contribution to an island's song is a high-spirited cheer that adds to the melody, and differs by island:
 * Air Island — Hey Nana, Hey Nana, Hey Nana, Hey Na, Hey, Low!
 * Earth Island — Yippie Yay, Yippie Yo, Yippie Yay Yippie Yay Yippie Yo Yo.
 * Gold Island — Yippitie Yay, Yippitie Yay, Yippitie Yay; Yippitie Yay, Yippitie Yay, Yippitie Yo-o / Yo yo yo yo nana, yo yo yo yo yay.
 * Shugabush Island &mdash; Gimmie Wop, Gimmie Wop, Gimmie Wop Gimmie Wop Gimmie Wop Wop.
 * Tribal Island — Come on, come on let's go! Come on, come on let's go!


 * Memory Game –– Low!

Breeding
The PomPom Monster can be bred using monsters that combine to provide all the elements of Air, Earth and Cold. Possible combinations:
 * Tweedle.png + Drumpler.png Tweedle and Drumpler
 * Noggin.png + Pango.png Noggin and Pango
 * Mammott_(smile).png + Cybop.png Mammott and Cybop

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

On Shugabush Island, the PomPom must either be purchased with diamonds or teleported from any other island it is found on (not including Gold) once it reaches level 15.

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.

Likes
Every monster has different things that they like. For every unique object that they like that's placed near the monster, the monster's happiness will increase by 25% (in other words, placing two of the same liked item near a monster will still only increase happiness by 25%).

Halloween
During the Halloween Season in October, all PomPoms (on all the islands) changed their color to a fluorescent lime green and put "eyes" on their signature pompoms as part of the Plant Island Halloween celebration, even though the PomPom itself is not native to that island. Its costume resembled an alien with 4 eyes and antennae on its head.

During the Halloween Season in October 2015, all PomPoms (on all the islands) changed their color to bright red and dressed up as skeletons. They even changed their arm and legs to black and white stripes rather than the orange and light orange stripes they usually wear. Their pompoms were also changed to bright red and looked a bit spiky.
