My Singing Monsters

Another of the mysterious Ethereals, you can never fully tell what kind of mood the Grumpyre is in. Thanks to its shifting eyes and mouth as it gurgles forth its song, it might appear sad when really it's happy, or afraid when it's actually having a blast. This makes sense, since it embodies the essence of Shadow - always a bit obscured, and able to unnerve even the most intrepid of Monsters.
Monster Bio

Description[]

Grumpyre is a Single-Element Ethereal Monster with the Shadow Element. It is first available on Cold Island and can be teleported to Ethereal Island once fed to level 15. Grumpyre was added on August 19th, 2013 during Version 1.1.7. It is best obtained by breeding Deedge and a Triple-Element Monster. By default, its breeding time is 1 day and 12 hours long. Grumpyre has a decent Coin production on Cold Island and is comparable to Deedge. Although useful for beginners, it is recommended to get other Monsters with higher Coin production.

Once teleported to Ethereal Island, Grumpyre takes 10 hours to incubate. You can then breed it with any other Monster to get more. Like all Single-Element Ethereals, Grumpyre has excellent Shard production, bested only by other Single-Element Rare and Epic Monsters. Note that Grumpyre has a slightly lower rate than Reebro, Jeeode, and Humbug.

Song[]

Audio sample:

Voice actor: Christopher Elliott

Grumpyre sings "Boom-Shika-la-Shika, boom-Shika-la-Shika" in a harsh whispering voice. It does this repeatedly for its part in the Cold Island song.

On Ethereal Island, it sings "Boom-shika-La, boom-shika-la-la-la-la boom-shika-la, boom-shika-la-la, boom-shika-la, boom-shika-la-la-la-la Boom-shika-la, Boom-shika-la-la."

Breeding[]

Grumpyre can be bred using a combination of a Deedge and one Triple-Element Monster. Possible combination(s):

There is roughly a 1% chance of breeding this successfully. It is uncertain whether some combinations work better than others. According to statistics, doing 70 attempts gives you a 50% chance of successfully breeding at least one Grumpyre; and doing 690 attempts gives you a 99.9% chance of successfully breeding at least one Grumpyre. Note that a Rare Monster could substitute any of the parents. The only exceptions are Ethereal Breeding Bonanzas.

(Best choice, 100% chance of a Grumpyre if Rare Grumpyre is unavailable)

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 on the Island, items don't need to be near the Monster. Below are the things liked by Grumpyre:

Notes[]

  • Grumpyre's name may be a portmanteau of "Grumpy" and "Vampire", due to the ambiguous facial expressions that the Monster makes, and its bat-like traits.
  • One of the Breeding combinations for Grumpyre (Thumpies and Deedge) was also the combination for Yool. Big Blue Bubble eventually realized the confusion, and changed Yool's breeding combination on September 13th, 2014, when the Time of the Season event was started during Anniversary Month.
  • It is possibly the Monster heard at the start of the loading screen music.
  • Even though there are holes in Grumpyre's wings, it still flies without any problem.
  • In the info menu, Grumpyre's eyebrows never emerge, similarly to its pre-1.3.1 appearance.
  • Grumpyre is the only Single-Element Ethereal to sing. This is similar to Noggin being the only Single-Element Natural Monster to not sing.
  • Before the introduction of Ethereal Island, Grumpyre temporarily maxed out at level 10. If you tried to feed past Level 10 beforehand, you would receive a message saying "This Monster is satisfied for now, and will not eat any more food."
  • Grumpyre was the first Monster to be based on a real person, being based on Monster-Handler Chris.
  • Despite its name and grumpy appearance, Grumpyre was, ironically, the first Ethereal to dress up for a holiday.
  • Similarly to Wubbox and Fluoress, Grumpyre's Monster portrait actually shows its early design, rather than its final design.
