Islands
There are currently nine island the player can visit and have monsters on, each one with a specific set of native monsters: Plant, Cold, Air, Water, and Earth Islands are the "natural islands", as they only require purchasing single-element monsters and breeding to populate the island. Gold Island is a place to put monsters that have leveled to fifteen. Nothing is produced on Gold Island, so it is mainly to show off. Ethereal and Shugabush Islands require teleporting monsters from the Natural Islands to begin breeding. Tribal Island is a place for players to form a tribe and get as many members as possible to complete the song and unlock the mysterious Kayna.

Monsters
The monsters are what the game is all about! There are 30+ monsters found in the game, and are categorised into different groups: Natural, Supernatural, Legendary, Ethereal, Special Edition, PS-Vita-exclusive, and Rare (which are rare versions of the Natural Monsters). The Kayna, which is found in Tribal Island, fits in an undefined monster group in this game (although in the prequel of the game, it is revealed to be a Natural Monster).

Natural Monsters
Natural Monsters are the most widely seen in the game. They each have a different element configuration based on the elements that they do have. They can also be bred to make more complex monsters. However, the more elements the monster the less likely they can be bred successfully.

There are five different elements that Natural Monsters could have: Plant, Cold, Air, Water and Earth. Four elements are available in each island, which means that certain monsters may not be available in certain islands.

 * Purchase Islands
 * Produce Treats, which in turn can level up monsters.

Decorations
Decorations are purely cosmetic items which can be used to "spruce up" an island, making it more pleasing for players to watch.

Decorations mostly have no special effect, other than increasing a monster's happiness meter, but some decorations can either emit sound (e.g. Harpsitree) or have unique animations (e.g.Tub Fountain).

Structures
Structures, unlike decorations, have a defined purpose in the game, such as storing unwanted monsters or decorations. Some of them are essential for in-game progress and should be bought right away, such as the Breeding Structure.

Most structures can be bought with in-game money (coins), but some of them, called Premium Structures, are purchaseble only with real cash.

There are free alternatives for some of these, so purchasing them is advised if a player is willing to help the developers of the game, and has no restrictions.
