Yool

"Towards the end of the year, the plump and pleasant Yool schedules a relaxing sojourn on Cold Island. Its arrival is heralded by the jingle bells dangling from its antlers, and the booming resonance of its voice.  Just being near a Yool produces feelings of peace and joy, so the other monsters always try and convince him to stay the whole year round ."

Description
The Yool is an obese monster whose upper parts are covered in white fur and who has a beard.

Like many species of real life reindeers, Yools are antler-bearing, have hooves as feet, and brown hair covering their legs. Unlike a reindeer, however, the monsters are bipedal, have elf-like ears and candy-cane-patterned arms, with red and white stripes. The central part of the body of a Yool is green, and has snowflake-like patterns in it.

Furthermore, all Yools have sleigh bells on their antlers, that are used by the monsters to produce their songs.

Song
Audio sample:

The Yool sings "Ho Ho Ho Ho" in a resonating baritone voice, as Santa Claus is supposed to do, and also shakes its head quickly to jingle the bells on its antlers.

Breeding
The Yool Monster can only be bred for a limited time during the Christmas season, and occasionally out of season (see the Notes section below for specific dates). There is one possible combination:


 * Thumpies.png + Congle.png Thumpies and Congle

On September 12th, 2014 the breeding combination was changed. The old breeding combination for Yool (Deedge and Thumpies) was one of the combinations for Grumpyre; since they both had the same breeding time, you would not know which one you would get if the speed-up time was 36 hours. Presumably the breeding combination change was made to eliminate this potential confusion.

NOTE: can only be bred or purchased during the dates listed. Any s on Cold Island that are obtained during that time will stay unless they are sold.

Earning Rate
Earning rate is in coins per minute.

Maximum Income
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.

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%).
 * Thumpies
 * Deedge
 * Piney Tree
 * Crumpler Tree

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 "Yool" comes from the name of an ancient pagan mid-winter festival, Yule, which was later absorbed into Christmas.
