Ghazt

"The extraordinary Ghazt only manifests itself when conditions are absolutely perfect. Imbued with the ethereal power of plasma, its sleek frame and ability to become intangible are ideal for slipping in and out of places unnoticed. However, these traits also make it vulnerable to accidental interdimensional travel. It plays well with the other monsters, but can only breed with members of its own kind."

Description
The Ghazt is a transparent purple cat-like creature featuring ghostly characteristics such as glowing eyes, and a tail that shrinks to a point as seen in some depictions of ghosts. Some of its other features are feline: pointed ears, fangs, and large claws. Five floating orbs revolve slowly around it, which make musical tones when the Ghazt touches them.

When this monster is idle, it stays in tempo by bending and floating back and forth with its orbs slowly revolving around it.

Song
Audio sample:

Ghazts softly patter one of five floating orbs which makes electronic keyboard sounds. To play this on any piano, do this pattern:

C C D E-flat F G C D E-flat F G F E-flat D C, C C D E-flat F G G C C D E-flat F E-flat D E-flat D C.

(Next octave) C C C D E-flat C C C D E-flat F G G G F E-flat G G G F E-flat, C C C D E-flat C C C D E-flat G G G F E-flat G G G F E-flat D

On Ethereal Island, the Ghazt mainly plays descending arpeggios and long notes.

Breeding
The Ghazt can be bred using a combination of an Entbrat monster and one three-element monster. Possible combination(s):


 * Entbrat.png + Bowgart.png Entbrat and Bowgart
 * Entbrat.png + Clamble.png Entbrat and Clamble
 * Entbrat.png + Pummel.png Entbrat and Pummel
 * Entbrat.png + T-Rox.png Entbrat and T-Rox

There is roughly a 1% chance of breeding this successfully. It is uncertain whether some combinations work better than others. For the shortest wait time per attempt, Entbrat and T-Rox is recommended. According to statistics, doing 69 attempts gives you a 50% chance of successfully breeding at least one Ghazt; and doing 690 attempts gives you a 99.9% chance of successfully breeding at least one Ghazt.

The Ethereal Breeding Bonanzas improve your chances of breeding a Ghazt. These increase the chance of breeding an Ethereal by 500%, i.e. 5 times the usual odds.

The Rare version of any monster can be used for breeding instead of the common version.

Earning Rate and Maximum Income
Earning rate is in coins or shards 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 Ethereal monsters of the same element count and can be found in this article.

Note: with the Ethereal Island update, Ghazt can be fed up to level 15, at which time it can be placed on Ethereal Island, instead of Gold Island.

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%).
 * Entbrat
 * Whisp
 * Babayag Tower
 * Squeed Statue
 * Crumpler Tree

See the Likes page to view a complete list of all monsters' likes.

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.

Name Origin
The name "" comes from the middle-English word "ghast", meaning "to frighten" or "having a weird appearance". It's related to the word "ghastly" and the spelling is also associated with the word "ghost", all possibly relevant to the monster's appearance. Ghazt may be based on Bast, the Egyptian cat god because of its appearance.
