| “ | There's a being who's sure all that glitters is gold… and it's buying a stairway to heaven. Even though some facets of it appear familiar, the Magical Nexus doesn't actually belong to the Monster World proper; it hails from Beyond. The floating island is situated at the cosmic 'crossroads' of the wanderings of the Stair Shaper, an enigmatic entity that hitchhikes across galaxies searching for intelligent life with which to commune. Over the span of its interstellar travels, the Stair Shaper has recruited many like-minded beings of titanic size to its cause, and once it learned the history of the Colossals, dispatched them to integrate into the Monster World. Now, the Magical Monsters born of these unions can use Transposition to travel to the Nexus and 'meet their maker' for the very first time. At times serene, at others rousing, the Nexus' song represents a culmination of a lifetime's hopes and dreams. | ” |

About[]
Magical Nexus is an Island where all impure Magical Monsters can be found, acting similarly to Gold Island or Amber Island but for Magical Monsters. However, it does lack the Pure Magical Monsters from the Magical Sanctum. It was added on March 26th, 2024, during Version 4.2.0.
Monsters on the Island are obtained by Transposing them at Level 18. Once a Magical Monster on one of the Magical Islands reaches Level 18, it can be Transposed to Magical Nexus for a cost.
- Single-Element Magicals cost 2,990,040
(to reach Level 18), and 1,000,000 (if Common) or 5 (if Rare). - Double-Element Magicals cost 2,990,040 (to reach Level 18), and 2,000,000 (if Common) or 10 (if Rare).
- Triple-Element Magicals cost 4,485,060 (to reach Level 18), and 4,000,000 (if Common) or 20 (if Rare).
- Quad-Element Magicals cost 5,980,080 (to reach Level 18), and 8,000,000 (if Common) or 40 (if Rare).
Once Transposed, the Monster is reborn on, or essentially teleported to, Magical Nexus, removing it from the Island it was originally on. Transposed Monsters cannot return to their original Islands. Additionally, note that Magical Monsters residing on Magical Sanctum (including Single-Elemental Monsters teleported there) cannot be transposed to Magical Nexus, because the Pocket Dimension is unable to interact with the Beyond.
Song[]
Composer(s): Tom Meikle, Filip Bachorz
Magical Nexus’s song plays at a speed of 120 beats per minute and is in the mode of D Dorian, later switching to D Byzantine, also referred to as the D double harmonic or D arabic scale.
Song Table[]
This is a chart that shows where each Monster plays in the song. Each part is 16 beats long, meaning that one part is 8 seconds long. The number next to each Monster indicates which track is being played at each part.

Indigenous Monsters[]
The list of indigenous Monsters is below with each Monster's class indicated in parenthesis.
Castle[]
Beds are not used on this Island, and as such, there is no Castle. The amount of Monsters you can have on the Island at a given time is limited only by physical space.
Strategy[]
In order to transpose all the Common magicals you will need 125,581,680 Treats, 108,000,000 Coins and 1,018 hours (or 42 Days and 10 Hours) for re incubation.
After the rest of the Rare Magicals release, another 125,581,680 Treats would be needed to transpose all Rare Magical Monsters.

Notes[]
- Magical Nexus was first envisioned as a "Gold Island clone," where the Magical Monsters would simply be placed down once they reached Level 15. However, the Monster-Handlers wanted the Island to be more unique, especially since it does not take place in the Higher Plane like Gold Island.[2]
- This also inspired the decision to make Transposition a lengthy process, since they figured players would be able to complete the Island too quickly.[3]
- The decision to exclude the Pure Magical-hybrids from the Island was intentional, based on there being a large amount of Monsters on the Island already, and to keep Magical Sanctum separate.[4]
- Additionally in terms of the lore, the Pocket Dimension is also unable to interact with the Beyond.[5]
- Magical Nexus is supposed to act as a "Trophy Case," to display your achievements alike to Gold Island. This time around, however, it was decided to add a system that rewarded the player for all of the hard work they put into the Island.[6]
- Just like Gaddzooks, Clackula and Rare Bonkers' animations on Magical Nexus were teased by Josh Harmon in a video where he makes recreations of Monster sounds utilizing real instruments or objects.[7]
- The first sentence of Magical Nexus' bio is a reference to the Led Zeppelin song Stairway to Heaven.
- "Stairway to Heaven" was also the name of the official Magical Nexus trailer.
- Magical Nexus marks the first Island where the Level Feeding Requirement of a Monster to teleport/transpose is not a multiple of 5.
- Magical Nexus was first hinted at in Epic Woolabee's bio.
- It may have also been hinted at in Rare Fluoress' bio, in which it states that the prospect of meeting Denchuhs one day strikes it as very fulfilling.
- When Magical Nexus released, it had an Epic Monsters page in the Island's Book of Monsters, despite no Epic Monsters actually being on the Island. This is because Epic Magicals will be added to the Island in the future, most likely after the Rare Magicals are complete.
- In Version 4.3, this Epic page was removed.
- Magical Nexus is the third Island to feature separate Book of Monsters pages for Commons and variants behind Gold Island and Amber Island. It was also the first Island to release with separate pages.
- Magical Nexus is the first Island since Bone Island to not release in waves.
- It was decided to release the Island's song all at once to surprise the community.[8]
- Magical Nexus is one of the most non-symmetrical Islands in terms of design in the main My Singing Monsters game, with the 2 sides of Magical Nexus being massively different when it comes to how similar they are to each other. This is a contrast to how most Islands in My Singing Monsters are just reflected off of each other.
- Magical Nexus has an association with the number 18 in the following ways:
- Magical Nexus is available starting at Level 18.
- Magical Nexus requires Monsters to be fed to Level 18.
- All Single-Element Monsters on Magical Nexus cost 1,800 Diamonds.
- Magical Nexus is the 18th island listed in the Islands menu of the Collection Book.
- Prior to version 4.3, it was also the 18th Island in order on the Map Carousel and the Island list for Monsters. In version 4.3, Gold Island and The Colossingum were moved before Magical Nexus, while Seasonal Shanty was moved after, making Magical Nexus the 19th Island. However, Magical Nexus is still the 18th Island with a song (when not counting The Colossingum).
- The goal for unlocking Magical Nexus rewards the player with 180,000 Treats, 180,000 Experience, and 18 Shards.
- When Magical Nexus was first released, there was a sale that made all of the Single-Element Monsters on Magical Nexus 18% off in the Market.
- Furthermore, adding the discounted numbers up individually (1,476 -> 1+4+7+6) makes 18.
- The transposition times for all Monsters are their original incubation times + 18 hours.
- Upgrading to the Augmented Nexus Nucleus costs 18,000 Shards, takes 18 hours, and rewards the player with 1,800,000 Experience.
- An in-game Login Screen tip states, "The number 18 seems to hold special significance to the Stair Shaper - you'll see it reflected in many aspects of life on Magical Nexus."
- As of Magical Nexus' release, there were 18 Common Monsters on it without a Rare Variant.
- The phrase "stairway to heaven" contains 18 characters (including spaces). These words are present in the island's description, as well as being the title of the release trailer.
- An update to the Nexus Nucleus was released on June 18th, 2024.
- Counting all instances of the number 18 above, there are 18 instances.
- Of the 32 Common Monsters on Magical Nexus, only 6 are vocalists (Fluoress, Theremind, HippityHop, Wimmzies, Cantorell, and Denchuhs), making it the Island with the lowest percentage of vocalist monsters at 18.75% (6 out of 32).
- Out of the 6 of them, though, Cantorell is the only one that sings in only one verse.
- Peckidna is both a vocalist and instrumentalist on Bone Island, however, it does not contribute vocally to Magical Nexus.
- Mythical Island has one less vocalist compared to Magical Nexus. However, its vocalist percentage is 33.33% (5 out of 15), while Nexus’ percentage is 18.75% (6 out of 32).
- The design of Magical Nexus has statue heads on the left, representing the Magical Island Titans. (from left to right) Cruv'laapht, Faesodd, Necrull, and Phosphora.
- This also happens to be the order in which the core Magical Islands released.
- Magical Nexus was the last Island added to the carousel Map, due to the current map releasing shortly after, with Update 4.3.0 on May 15th, 2024.
- Magical Nexus has all of the Natural and Fire elements except for Air, since no Magical Monster has that element.
- Magical Nexus is the second island in the franchise in which all possible Monster placeable tiles are connected to each other, with the first being Space Island. It is also the only Island in the main game without any additional platforms in the back of the island.
- It was revealed in the 4.2 My Singing Monsters showcase that the patterns that appear on the island were designed with the idea that all four Single-Element Magicals would be situated in the middle of each ring.
- Interestingly enough, there are 3 1×1 tiles directly behind the Nexus Nucleus that are counted as invalid, despite not appearing red like other invalid tiles. This is likely due to the fact that, since you can't move the Nexus Nucleus, Monsters are susceptible to being stuck behind it.
