“	The Dragong's lithe body belies incredible strength and resilience, which it uses to absorb the vibration of its tail- and feet-plates. In addition to the cymbal-like clashing they create, these plates allow the Dragong to skim the water's surface, and unsurprisingly, to prepare delicious dishes for its Ethereal cohorts.	”

What is the best way to obtain a Dragong?

To obtain a Dragong, a Double-Element Ethereal Monster, breed Reebro and Humbug. The breeding duration is typically 1 day and 18 hours. If you possess a Rare Dragong or a Single-Element Ethereal Monster such as Ghazt, you can breed them with a Dragong to potentially produce another Dragong. Breeding failures may also yield a Dragong.

What are the physical characteristics of a Dragong?

The Dragong, a Double-Element Ethereal Mon, has a slender body that hides its immense strength and resilience. It uses this strength to manage the vibrations of its tail and feet plates, which also enable it to skim across water. These plates are also used in cooking for its Ethereal companions. The Rare Dragong variant can fly for short periods by heating the air beneath it with its hot plates and riding the resulting updraft, while the rest of its body stays cold.

What role does the Dragong play among its Ethereal cohorts?

The Dragong, a Double-Element Ethereal Monster, uses its strength and resilience to create a cymbal-like sound with its tail and feet plates. It also skims the water's surface with these plates. Notably, it uses these abilities to prepare meals for its Ethereal cohorts. The Dragong was introduced to Ethereal Island in May 2014 and later to The Colossingum in October 2023.

When was the Dragong added to Ethereal Island?

Ethereal Island welcomed the addition of the Dragong, a Double-Element Ethereal Monster, on May 22, 2014, in Version 1.2.6. It can be obtained optimally by breeding the monsters Reebro and Humbug, with a standard breeding time of 1 day and 18 hours.

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%. Placing more than one of the same liked item near a Monster won't increase its happiness by an additional amount. If there's a Unity Tree or a Primordial Monster of the same rarity on the Island, items don't need to be near the Monster. Below are the things liked by Dragong:

Notes

• Dragong's name is a portmanteau of "dragon" and "gong".
• There was a sneak preview of Dragong on the My Singing Monsters Facebook page in February 2014, as part of the Season of Love update.
• Dragong was the first Ethereal Monster to take up a 3x3 grid space.
• Despite its name, Dragong actually plays the cymbals instead of gongs.
• Three other Dragong concepts were shown in this Facebook link.
• Dragong has the longest track out of any Monster on Ethereal Island.
• On Ethereal Island, Dragong's track has 68 beats when counting in 4/4 time, making it one of the few tracks with an amount of beats that is not a power of 2.
• Dragong's ability to run on water with its flat feet is likely inspired by the real-life basilisk lizard.
