Monster Families

Families of different Monsters are listed here. A Monster family is a family of Monsters that shares a set of design characteristics. These families should be confirmed by the Monster-Handlers, so conclusions made by fans are not grounds for a new family. Most families don’t all belong to the same Class, with the Toodaloos, Shugafam, Werdos and Dipsters being exceptions, although the Shugafam has Viveine as an "unofficial member", according to the My Singing Monsters Live on April 19th, 2023. Below are some of the more notable Monster families.


The Shugafam	The Thumpies	The Werdos

Families[]

The Pomily[]

The Pomily contains Monsters that look similar to PomPom, including an adopted member, TooToo. They gain their colors by the foods they eat. PomPom and Rare Hoola eat red food, Rare PomPom eats indigo food, Epic PomPom eats all colors of food, Hoola eats a variety of foods, and Rooba eats moss. The rest of the family have unconfirmed diets.

Members
PomPom	Hoola	Sooza	Rooba	TooToo

Armor-Clade[]

The Armor-Clade consists of two Monsters, Repatillo and Strombonin. The official name of this Monster family was first revealed during Episode 1 of Quick Questions with Monster-Handler Tyson. Its existence was first hinted at in Strombonin's bio, which noted similarities between it and Repatillo. The family's name is a portmanteau of the phrase "armor-clad," as all of its members have a shell or armor, and "clade," a taxonomical group of organisms that are descendants of one common ancestor. Despite the use of "clade" in the family name, there is no common ancestor of Repatillo and Strombonin currently known to exist.

Members
Repatillo	Strombonin

Playbackyderms[]

The Playbackyderms consist of three Monsters, Woolabee, Peckidna, and Cherubble, which all share the similarity of using symbiotic partners to make their sounds. Unlike other families, they were created through 'inspirational evolution.' Cherubble was used as inspiration for the Colossals to create Woolabee and for the Stair Shaper to create Peckidna. The name was first mentioned in Cherubble's bio and inspiral evolution was mentioned in Epic Cherubble's bio. The family's name is a portmanteau of "play", "back", "playback", and "pachyderm", a name for a member of the obsolete order Pachydermata, which includes elephants.

Members
Woolabee	Peckidna	Cherubble

The G'brood[]

The G'brood consists of two Monsters, G'day and G'joob. It is unknown which Monster came first as stated in Rare G'day's bio. The family's name was revealed in a Handler Hangout.

Members
G'day	G'joob

Drone-Sects[]

The Drone-Sects consist of three Monsters, Humbug, Fung Pray, and Buzzinga, which all share insectoid appearances and dimension traveling abilities. Although, Fung Pray's abilities are unknown. The family's name is a portmanteau of "drone" and "insect", drone referring both to a male bee and to the deep humming sound that Humbug makes.

Gaba-ghouls[]

The Gaba-ghouls consist of three Monsters, Withur, Whisp, and Whaill, all of which share ghoulish appearances. The official name of this Monster family was first revealed in the December 2023 MSM Live. The name is a portmanteau of gabagool and ghoul.

Clavaclade[]

The Clavaclade consists of two Monsters, Clackula and Clavavera, both of which share a skeletal appearance. This family was first mentioned in Big Blue Bubble's first 2022 Extra Life live stream. According to MSMPokeGamer, the family's name is still a work-in-progress for the Monster-Handlers, and could be changed at some point. However, for the time being, this family will remain known as "The Clavaclade".

Members
Clackula	Clavavera

The Bowidae[]

The Bowidae consists of two Monsters, Bowgart and Bowhead, both of which share a similar instrument and name. The official name of this Monster family was first revealed in the February 2024 episode of MSM Live. The family's existence was first implied in Bowhead's bio.

Members

The Ghazkin[]

The Ghazkin consists of two Monsters, Xyster and Ghazt. This family of Monsters was first revealed in the Magical Sanctum trailer, with the introduction of Xyster. Xyster's bio actually hints towards Epic Ghazt being the missing link in its evolution.

Members
Xyster	Ghazt

The Toot-Suite[]

The Toot-Suite consists of two Monsters that both evolved different ways of breathing; Reedling (via flute-like spines) and Blabbit (by blowing bubbles). Its name was revealed during a Handler Hangout. The name is a portmanteau of "tout de suite" and "toot". The existence of the Toot-Suite was first hinted at in Blabbit's bio.

Members
Reedling	Blabbit

The Toodaloos[]

The Toodaloos consist of three Monsters, Tweedle, Dandidoo, and Quibble, all of which share a bird-like appearance. The name was revealed during a Handler Hangout. The name likely comes from the now dated British term “toodle-oo”, which means "see you later." The family’s existence was first hinted via Rare Dandidoo’s bio stating a distant relationship with Quibble and Dandidoo’s Composer bio stating a relationship with Tweedle.

Members
Tweedle	Dandidoo	Quibble

The Jammers[]

Jammers are a species of Monster mainly found in the game Jammer Splash, Toe Jammer being the only one from the original game. The ones from Jammer Splash are descendants of Toe Jammer that formed a society in Jammerland long ago.

Unnamed families[]

Families with Monsters only[]

Some Monsters are confirmed or heavily hinted to be related with each other, either by their bios or official sources, but currently lack an official, proper family name:

Yooreek and Gaddzooks: Yooreek and Gaddzooks are confirmed to be related on each others' bios.

Hyehehe and Plinkajou: Hyehehe and Plinkajou are hinted to be related on this tweet by Ultimate Creator Quinn, the creator of Hyehehe. However, this is technically not an official family until it is confirmed by the Monster-Handlers as well. In order for the Monster-Handlers to confirm that, though, they would need to directly ask Ultimate Creator Quinn.

Flowah and Barrb: The bios of Epic Flowah and Epic Barrb confirm that Flowahs and Barrbs are related to each other.

Mimic and Gobbleygourd: The Perplexplore 2025 trailer implies an evolutionary relation between Gobbleygourd and Mimic.

Families with non-Monster members[]

Some Monsters can also be related to certain Decorations, Critters, or Crafting Items.

Whiz-bang, Glowbes, and Optiglowbe: Whiz-bangs originate from Glowbes, and the Optiglowbe is a subspecies of Glowbe, meaning that they are related to each other. The Optiglowbe is also speculated to be "related in some way to the critters of Psychic Island", but it's uncertain if that's actually the case due to the Optiglowbe's bio making it clear that it's only a speculation.

Punkleton, Smunkin, and the Pumpkin: The kinship between Punkleton and the Smunkins is directly confirmed in the former's bio, and young Punkleton's bio reveals that it originates from a Pumpkin patch that got struck by a lighting bolt, therefore confirming that Punkleton is related to Pumpkins in addition to Smunkins. This makes sense, because Pumpkins are also the ancestors of Smunkins, as noticed in the Oversized Pies' bio.

Clamble and Simbull Tree: The Simbull Tree is, according to its bio, "a different branch" of the Clamble's family tree.

Riff and Ockulo Tree: Ockulo Trees are made from the feathers of Riffs, possibly meaning that they are genetically related to each other.

Quarrister and Barrockade: Barrockade's bio starts saying that it is "Distantly related to Quarristers", leaving no doubts about their kinship.

Debunked families[]

The following Monsters are confirmed to not be related, despite any noted similarities between them:

Toe Jammer and Frondley: It was confirmed on the February 2023 livestream that Frondley and Toe Jammer are unrelated to each other, despite their similar appearances.

Wimmzies and the Pomily: During MSM Live #60, Monster-Handler Matt confirmed that any perceived resemblance between the Wimmzies and the Pomily is coincidental.

Phangler and Anglow: In Quick Questions Episode 6, it was confirmed that Phangler and Anglow are not related.

Notes[]

On My Singing Monsters: Fandemonium Episode 3, PomPom mentioned that TooToo is an adopted sister.
- A tweet by the official My Singing Monsters account confirms this, as it calls Rare TooToo a Pomily member.
Hoola, Rare Hoola, and Epic Sooza are the 3 members of the Pomily to require another member of the Pomily in their breeding combinations.
