If Ethereal Island seems otherworldly to you, you're spot on. Located in a Pocket Dimension of the multiverse, it is home to monsters unlike any that have been seen or heard before. Oozing with mysterious substances and orbited by objects of ominous origin, you won't be able to resist the sublime wonder of its song!
Ethereal Island is accessible at level 6 without any purchase in the Apple, Android, and PC versions of the game. It was first released on September 4, 2013.
Ethereal Island can hold the Single Element Ethereal Monsters found on the Natural Islands after they are fed to level 15 and Teleported. Teleporting will reset their levels back to one on Ethereal Island, and turn the monsters into eggs again. Teleportation is currently impossible to reverse, so the monsters will stay permanently on Ethereal Island.
Ethereal Island does not use Coins () for currency. Instead, it uses its own currency called Shards ().

Removing the rocks and trees from the island earns the player Experience and it opens up space to place more Monsters, Decorations, or Structures. Removed obstacles are not gone permanently; they can be bought back with Diamonds under the decorations section in the Market.

Breeding
In Ethereal Island, the main difference in breeding mechanics between this island and the Natural Islands is that Ethereal Monsters can now breed with each other, including those with Rare Monster modifiers.
Ethereal Monsters can breed with each other, however, unlike Natural Monsters, breeding using Ethereal Monsters regardless of combination can potentially gain "breeding failures." Thus, for example, Ghazt (Plasma) + Grumpyre (Shadow) will not guarantee a Whisp (Plasma + Shadow) and could still potentially breed either of the two parents.
Originally, all Single-Element Ethereal Monsters could not be bought directly from Ethereal Island; having to be teleported to Ethereal Island in order to "live" on Ethereal Island. However this was changed in the 3.1 update, when they were made available to buy in the market for the price of 1,500 diamonds ().
Breeding combinations for all monsters exclusive to Ethereal Island are listed below, provided that the breeding is successful:
The music of Ethereal Island is not currently available for purchase as a separate single. It is, however, available to be bought in the My Singing Monsters Soundtrack album, of which is available for purchase as a single.
The music of Ethereal Island plays at 70 beats per minute (in 4/4), or 210 subdivision beats per minute, in the 6/8 time signature, in mostly B Mixolydian, with parts in E Major.
Castle Upgrades
Main Article: Castle
To be placed on an island, each monster requires a specific number of beds. For Ethereal Monsters, Single Element Ethereal Monsters require five beds while Double Element Ethereal Monsters require ten beds. The sole Supernatural Monster on Ethereal Island, the Wubbox, requires fifteen beds. The Ethereal Island castle and its upgrades hold many more beds to account for the greater number of beds occupied by a single Ethereal Monster. Upgrade the Castle to unlock more beds.
While the song of the island is crucial, users may also want to use some of these numbers to help with planning which monsters to feed first and make 100% happy first, as well as plan frequency of shard collection. The numbers below are as follows:
Rate
Rate of income (per hour) per bed at level 15 and at 100% happy
Max
Maximum income per bed at level 15
Time
Time to maximum income at level 15 and at 100% happy
(shown as Hours : Minutes : Seconds)
It should be noted that Rate is half for 0% happy, and Time is doubled for 0% happy.
For most players aiming for optimal Shard collection, Epic Reebro is currently the best for both holding capacity and generation rate, which is likely to continue for the other Epic Ethereals.
The optimal setup is 80x Level 20 Epic Reebro, plus 70x Level 20 Dipsters, all at 100% Happiness.
The maximum possible Shard-holding capacity (i.e. for uncollected Shards) is 46,620 .
The maximum Shard-generation rate is:
6,960 per hour
167,040 per day (5.568 per day, after conversion)
1,169,280 per week (38.976 per week, after conversion)
1,169,280 can be used to feed a monster on Tribal Island to level 151, making that the maximum sustainable level by feeding of Shards from Ethereal Island alone.
However, the most optimal Shard collection may be attained by using a combination of Rare Wubbox, Epic Reebro, and Dipsters. The main limiting factor is the physical Island space available, as Rare Wubbox's 4x4 size takes up a lot of that space, and it is less efficient for its space than 4 Epic Reebros. However, Epic Reebro takes up 5 Beds, as opposed to Rare Wubbox's 1.
One known layout consists of:
20 Rare Wubbox: 20 Beds, 20x118 = 2,360 Shards/hour, 14,920 Shards max held
76 Epic Reebro: 76x5 = 380 Beds, 76x80 = 6,080 Shards/hour, 76x532 = 40,432 Shards max held
70 Dipsters: 0 Beds, 70x8 = 9,000 Shards/hour, 70x58 = 4,060 Shards max held
Total: 400 Beds (maximum), 6,758 Shards/hour, 59,412 Shards max held
This layout includes space for a Storage Shed for the Monsters' Likes, a Unity Tree to make sure they're all 100% Happy, 1 Breeding Structure, and 1 Nursery. Many older players will have two of the Breeding Structure and Nursery, which cannot be sold. In this case, the layout accommodates 'only' 56 Dipsters. It is not known if this layout is ideal.
Rare Ethereals
Following that, the Rare Reebro, Rare Jeeode, and Rare Humbug are clearly the best for both holding capacity and generation rate. The following are their requirements for 100% Likes:
The optimal setup is 80x Level 20 Rare Reebro or equivalent, plus 70x Level 20 Dipsters, all at 100% Happiness.
The maximum possible Shard-holding capacity (i.e. for uncollected Shards) is 38,780 .
The maximum Shard-generation rate is:
6,000 per hour
144,000 per day (4.8 per day, after conversion)
1,008,000 per week (33.6 per week, after conversion)
1,005,076 can be used to feed a monster on Tribal Island to level 143, making that the maximum sustainable level by feeding of Shards.
Common Ethereals
As the Epic and Rare versions are harder to obtain than the Common Monsters and most players will likely have more Common Monsters than Rare, the Shard collection for the Reebro, Jeeode, and Humbug are shown below. The following are their requirements for 100% Monster Likes:
Setup is 80x Level 15 Reebro or equivalent, at 100% Happiness.
The maximum possible Shard-holding capacity (i.e. for uncollected Shards) is 24,000 .
The maximum Shard-generation rate is:
3,840 per hour
92,160 per day (3 per day, after conversion)
645,120 per week (21.5 per week, after conversion)
642,696 will feed a monster on Tribal Island to level 123, making that the maximum sustainable level by Shard feeding.
In addition, Monsters on Magical Sanctum provide a steady flow of , and Wublins and Celestials provide a random amount of which over time becomes a reliable source on average. see Wublin Island and Celestial Island for more information.
Notes
The screenshot of the new Ethereal Island.
My Singing Monsters celebrated their first anniversary with the debut of Ethereal Island, with Version 1.2.0 Update, released on September 4th, 2013.
Before the Version 3.1.0 Update, Ethereal Island was the only island whose Market didn't offer every monster that can live on it. Before, only Double-Element Ethereal Monsters were able to be purchased there.
So far, there are no Ethereal Monsters that have more than two elements.
The ambience on Ethereal Island was once changed to sound less uncanny. It is unknown when this change was made.
Ethereal Island was the first island to exist in the Monster World canonically, this fact is supported with the new loading screen tip that says "Magical Sanctum and Ethereal Island both reside in the same Pocket Dimension, however the latter is much, much, older."
Ethereal Island was the first island without a Seasonal Event.
A sound bug occurred on Ethereal Island in version 3.3 with the introduction of Rare Wubbox. At the end of the song, the whole island is silent for approximately 40 seconds.
