| “ | Noggins are basically musical rocks. Deeply in tune with the Earth, their simple rhythms echo an Island’s pulse. The sensation of reverberation produced by a Noggin motivates all other monsters. | ” |

Description
Noggin is the single-element Monster of earth, and is first available when starting the game. It is obtained by purchasing from the Market for 300 
. By default, its incubation time is 5 seconds long. As a Single Elemental, Noggin does not have a high coin production.
Song
Audio sample:
Instrument(s): Cajon/Bongos/Timbales/Congas/Djembe
VST(s):
??? (Plant Island, Air Island)
??? (Water Island)
"Standard Dry Kit" from Halion's "Halion Sonic Factory" Instrument Set (Earth Island)
"Djembe 1" from the Kontakt Library "West Africa" (Fire Haven)
??? (Faerie Island, Bone Island)
"34_duhalla" from the LoopMash loopset (Tribal Island)
??? (Gold Island)
The Noggin contributes to its Island's song by playing a variety of Latin-based drums (a bass drum on Earth Island), the exact instrument varying from Island to Island. Its hands beat a rhythm onto the top of its head, which creates the sound that it plays. On Faerie Island, Noggin also stomps along with its feet, (thought it could just move its feet and make the sound with its mouth) creating a lower sound.
Breeding
Being a Single Elemental, Noggin has no specific breeding combination. Instead, it is purchasable in the Market at Level 1. Note that any failed breeding combination containing a Noggin may come out with a Noggin, unless it is bred with another Natural Single Elemental.
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 will still only increase its happiness by 25%. If there's a Unity Tree on the island, items don't need to be near the monsters. Below are the things liked by Noggin:
- Drumpler (requires level 7) (
, , , ) - Shellbeat (level 9) ()
- Kayna (level 9) (, , )
- Travelers' Sign (level 7)
- Trumplite (level 11)
- Fire Bush (level 5) ()

Egg Consumption
While trying to breed other Monsters (particularly Monsters with a very low chance of breeding), the following Wublins, Celestials, and Vessels can be used to "dispose of" Noggin eggs immediately instead of putting them into a Nursery and having that Nursery not be available.
 |
|
Note that bred Monster eggs can only be "disposed of" into inactive Wublins, Celestials, and Vessels; active ones do not accept Monster eggs. Also note that inactive Monsters to which you have already disposed the number of Noggin eggs that it accepts, will no longer be available as a "recycle bin" for such eggs.
Possible Monster Names
To see all possible names for Noggin, see Monster Names.
- Two possible names for the Noggin are "Narms" and "Shlapp". Narms is a contraction of "no arms", and Shlapp is a play in words for slap.
- "Shlappa" does however mean "hat" in Russian, so it may be based on that too.
- One of the Noggin's possible names is Cephas, which is the name given to the biblical character Peter, and it's the Greek word for "little rock."
- One of the Noggin's names, Argus, could be a reference to the Ancient Greek Polis, Argos, or the one-hundred eyed giant, Argus Panoptes.
- Similarly, the default name Boreas also references a Greek deity, although Boreas was the god of the North Wind rather than anything earth-related.
- One of the possible names, "Chunk" refers to the fact that this monster is a piece of rock, and chunk means a lump or large portion.
- One of the possible names, "Rockmaninoff" is a reference to Sergei Rachmaninoff, a Russian pianist and composer.
- One of the possible names, "Roark" may be based off the first Gym Leader in the Sinnoh region games, who is a Rock-type user.
Notes
- Noggin’s name is an English word that means head. Noggin has this name because it slaps its head.
- Originally, the Noggin was called the "BumperStumper" in early designs for the game. By the time the game was released, they changed it to "Noggin". [citation needed]
- Knucklehead was inspired by Noggin's wooden concept art shown in the gallery above.
- The Noggin has the highest rate of income per bed of the pure-breed Natural Monsters.
- The Noggin is the only single-element Natural Monster that does not sing.
- The Noggin has the same beat/song on Air Island and Plant Island.
- The Noggin takes the shortest amount of time to hatch or breed, only taking 5 seconds.
- It only takes 3 seconds if using an Enhanced Breeding Structure.
- The Noggin's name in Russian is "Барабамень" (pronounces as "Barabamen'"). This word is a portmanteau of "барабан" (pronounces as "Baraban", English: drum) and "камень" (pronounces as "Kamen'", English: rock).
- It also makes a reference to the Noggin's design, which looks like a rock drum.
- Noggin's breeding time on Natural Islands was reduced from 15 seconds to 5 seconds, starting from around the time of SummerSong 2019. This was done to improve the Tutorial experience. Noggin’s breeding time was then changed on every other island, specifically Fire Haven, to 5 seconds in Version 2.3.4.
- On Faerie Island, Noggin may be using its feet to make sounds as a part of its song, but this is only the second time that this has happened (the first being in Dawn of Fire on Continent). It might be using its jaw, and tapping its feet to match the jaw sounds, though, as its jaw moves every time its feet do.
- All three Noggin variants like the Kayna.
- Noggin and Carillong have the same three Decorations as Likes: the Travelers' Sign, the Trumplite, and the Fire Bush.
