Wublins

Wublins are types of monsters that can be found on Wublin Island. In a similar way to the Wubbox, although not quite exactly like the Wubbox, they require a certain number of unfertilised monster eggs (i.e. those from the Breeding Structure and not the Nursery) before they can become activated or "woken up". A set time limit is required before the eggs "go off". The Wublins are unlocked after Wublin Island is unlocked at Level 13. All Wublins contain the element Electricity, like the Wubbox.

History
Big Blue Bubble released a short teaser video on March 16th, 2016, March 17, 2016 , March 18, 2016 , March 19, 2016 and March 20, 2016 showing a neon sign, reading "Wake up the Wublins" (or, alternately, #WakeUpTheWublins), lighting up with a sizzle of electricity and a roll of thunder.

Finally, on March 22 2016, a video was released, showing the Wublins in much greater detail.

The Wublins are statue-like creatures made by their "mysterious maker". Like the Wubbox, they each require several eggs to activate them, the eggs required differing from Wublin to Wublin. The video suggests that they have something to do with electricity, like the Wubbox. The Wublins can be found only on Wublin Island.

The first Wublin teased was a firefly-looking monster making a sound similar to the Humbug. It was revealed to be a Zynth.

The second Wublin teased was a tall, lanky monster with a long toungue, strumming it, making the sound of a double bass being plucked. It was revealed to be Thwok.

The third Wublin teased was something with a shadow looking similar to the G'Joob, sitting at a drum set. Its sound, as one can probably guess, is the sound of a drum set. It was revealed to be a Dwumrohl.

The fourth Wublin teased looked akin to a tall bird with a Jeeode-Like instrument, making the sound of a pipe organ. It was revealed to be a Poewk.

The fifth Wublin teased was a bipedal amphibious a looking monster with leaves on its back. It stands in a posture similar to Reedling's, albeit with no arms. It says "Wake up the Wublins" repeatedly in a scratchy voice. It was revealed to be a Brump.

After the Wublins' release at March 25th 2016, a sixth Wublin could be seen in the bottom left corner of the loading screen with a body resembling a hollow log. The monster's song is revealed here. It played in a similar way to a kazoo, and it was officially released on April 29th 2016. It was revealed to be a Zuuker.

On May 3rd 2016, when update 1.4.1 was announced, a 7th wublin could be seen here. On may 26th 2016, it was revealed to be named Screemu here. The next day, a vine came out revealing the Screemu's song. a few hours later it could be found in game.

On June 29th, 2016, Big Blue Bubble revealed the next wublin called Tympa on facebook and twitter. the next day it was released

Obtaining
"This Wublin statue has been carefully crafted by its mysterious maker, down to the finest detail. Now all that's missing is the spark of life! Instead of sending them to the nursery, zap the monster eggs you've bred on your other islands, and they'll transform into the electrical energy required to take up this Wublin."

- In-game statue description

Wublins are initially bought as statues for 5,000 coins each. In a similar way to the Wubbox, Wublins require Natural Monster eggs (straight from the Breeding Structure) to be Zapped into them. However, Wublins require that their inventory be completed in a set amount of time before the Natural eggs in the Wublin go bad. Once the statue has a full inventory, it is ready to be awakened. Multiple Wublins can be inactive at once, though only one of each type can be obtained.

Once a Wublin is given their first egg, a countdown timer begins. This time ranges from two to fourteen days. All of the necessary eggs must be zapped into the Wublin before the time limit expires. If the time expires, all progress on that Wublin is lost, and the process will have to be restarted.

After they expire there are two options, collect the coin value of the expired eggs, or pay a certain amount of diamonds to buy the missing eggs that that weren't collected within the time limit. Tapping on icon above the expired Wublin will give a message saying "You Wublin has expired! You were % done, with   eggs to box. Would you like to collect the coin value of the eggs and try again, or buy the missing eggs for   diamonds?". An icon of a dustbin full of smelly eggs appears above the expired Wublin.

Strategy
It's best to "zap" the eggs in order of decreasing breeding time: 4-element monsters first, then 3-element, then 2-element, then 1. This minimizes the ammount of waiting that is needed for the eggs to finish breeding while the Wublin timer is counting down -- one of the longer wait times is out of the way before the clock even starts. If diamonds are ever needed to speed things up, less of them will end up being spent.

To reliably breed a 4-element monster egg, breeding together the normal and Rare versions of the monster is best: 100% chance of success (as long as the Rare version is not currently available to breed). To get a 3-element monster, breeding one with a 4-element monster gives a 99% chance of success (the other 1% gives an Ethereal). Breeding a 3-element monster with its own Rare also guarantees success. 2-element monsters can be bred reliably from their two 1-element parents. 1-element monsters can be reliably obtained by breeding one with a 4-element monster.

Do try to focus on one Wublin at a time, although you could still fill up multiple Wublins at once. Start focusing on breeding the eggs for the desired Wublin by breeding the eggs on multiple islands. Try to study where each monster egg can be bred in and try to efficiently provide eggs from each island. Do consider the lengths of times the eggs will be bred as well as the times of when you will be playing the game.

Look at the elements of the monsters you're trying to breed, and the monsters they can be bred from, compared to the monsters you need for a Wublin. For example, for the Dwumrohl, you can breed an Entbrat from a Bowgart and a Noggin. Any of these monsters can be zapped into the Dwumrohl even if the breeding is unsuccessful and you get one of the parent monsters as a result.

Another time-saving measure is to pre-breed as many of the required monsters as possible and have the eggs waiting in your Breeding Structures before zapping the first egg into your Wublin (ideally one from each island beginning with the monsters with the longest breeding times). Since your timer will begin running as soon as you zap the first egg, having five of the eggs with the longest breeding times already prepared could potentially save you multiple days depending on the Wublin. Users who have previously purchased at least one item for the game have the extra advantage of being able to purchase Bonus Breeding Structures for each of the five islands that the required inventory comes from and pre-breeding one additional monster per island, saving even more time. This is particularly useful for the Wublins that require multiple Quad- and Triple-Element monsters like Dwumrohl and Thwok.

Don't forget that some of the monsters can be bred on Shugabush Island, by "breeding failure".

Uses & Feeding
At any random time interval, a Wublin will produce a seemingly random amount of a random type of currency. Exact numbers depend on which currency is produced (i.e. 2 diamonds, ~200 shards, ~200,000 coins, or ~20,000 food) They can produce any type of currency except Starpower (which is only generated from contributions at Tribal Island).

Known Glitches
In the initial release of the Wublins, pressing the Biggify icon of a woken Wublin and pressing cancel caused the Wublin to display additional options which could not be accessed normally. This bug was corrected on March 29th, 2016. Tapping out of the monster made the glitch disappear.
 * One of these options was the ability to feed it, which cost 2,000,000 food and did not seem to have any effect on the Wublin -- its level, seen only via the glitch, stayed at 1 and the level progress bar remained empty.  (Yes, this was tested... a waste of some 10,000,000 food units.)
 * It was also possible to display the Wublin's supposed likes, which were the same for all of the Wublins: Digger, Toob, and Ambered Thing, as well as the "mystery like" icon.  One could seem to buy the decorations from the page of likes, and place them on the island.  However, no coins were spent when "buying" one, and after the decoration was placed, it couldn't be selected again.  When one left the island, all decorations disappeared.
