| “ | 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. The Goal for placing your first Noggin rewards the player with 150 . Additionally, placing a Noggin on Gold Island for the first time rewards the player with 1,000,000 .
Song[]
Audio samples:
Cajon/Djembe (Memory Game; Plant/Air Island):
Bass drum (Earth Island)
Demo (Faerie Island):
Doholla (Tribal Island):
Instrument(s): Cajon/Bongos/Timbales/Congas/Doholla/Djembe/Demo, and Bass drum (Earth Island only)
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 on the top of its head, which creates the sound that it plays. On Faerie Island, Noggin also stomps along with its feet, creating a lower sound, though it could just move its feet and make the sound through some other means.
VSTs[]
Virtual Studio Technology is an audio plugin software that has libraries of sound effects and synthesized instruments. Within these libraries are SoundFonts, which are the individual effects and instruments themselves. The Monster-Handlers utilize several VSTs to create the sounds of instrumental and sometimes vocal Monsters.

Breeding[]
- Main article: Breeding
Being a Single-Elemental Natural, Noggin has no specific breeding combination. Instead, it must be purchased in the Market at Level 1 for 300 ; in case of Plant Island though, it's first obtained by hatching an already-present egg from the Nursery during the tutorial. After a Noggin is owned, another Noggin may be bred as a result of breeding failure while trying to breed a Noggin with another Monster that isn't a Natural Single-Elemental. Although any other Monster may be used, combinations using a Quad-Elemental will result in a Noggin 100% of the time. Examples of this include:
+ Entbrat and Noggin - + Riff and Noggin
- + Shellbeat and Noggin
- + Quarrister and Noggin
- + Tring and Noggin
- + Pladdie and Noggin
- + Plinkajou and Noggin
The Rare variant of any breeding Monster can be used instead of the Common variant; and much like most Rares, a Noggin can breed with its Rare variant, which will always result in another Noggin. However, it works the same as if using a Quad-Elemental, therefore never resulting in another Rare Noggin.

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 Noggin:
- Drumpler (requires level 7) (, , , )
- Shellbeat (level 9) ()
- Kayna (level 9) (, )
- Travelers' Sign (level 7)
- Trumplite (level 11)
- Fire Bush (level 5) ()

Egg Consumption[]
- Main article: Zapping
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 doing this for Rare Wublins will cause the Wublin to stop producing currency and the eggs will not expire.
 |
|
Note that Monster eggs can only be "disposed of" before awakening Wublins, Celestials, and Vessels; afterwards those Monsters will not accept any eggs. Also note that 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. Kayna's Vessel has no time limit, and its egg inventory cannot be reset.

Notes[]
- Noggin's name is an English word that means head. Noggin has this name because it pats its head.
- Originally, Noggin was called the "BumperStumper" in early designs for the game. By the time the game was released, they changed it to "Noggin". [1]
- Knucklehead was inspired by Noggin's wooden concept art, shown in the gallery above.
- Noggin has the highest rate of income per bed of the Single-Element Natural Monsters.
- Noggin is the only Single-Element Natural Monster that does not sing. This is similar to how Grumpyre is the only Single-Element Ethereal Monster that does sing.
- Coincidentally, Stogg is the only instrumental Fire Double-Elemental.
- Noggin has the same beat/song on both Plant Island and Air Island.
- Noggin takes the shortest amount of time to hatch or breed out of any monster, only taking 5 seconds.
- It only takes 3 seconds if using an Enhanced Breeding Structure or Enhanced Nursery.
- 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/stone).
- It also makes a reference to Noggin's design, which looks like a Drumstone.
- Noggin's breeding time on the 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 and The Continent, Noggin uses its feet to make part of its sound.
- Noggin has a second track on Faerie Island, which plays the exact same rhythm as Drumpler on said island. However, while Track 2 is in the Recording Studio, it mistakenly uses Track 1's sound and animation instead, due to Track 1 replacing Track 2's info.
- Noggin currently plays the same track most times consecutively on a completed island. It plays the same track through the entirety of Bone Island, playing it 24 times before the song loops.
- The second monster to do this is Ziggurab on Amber Island, playing the same track 12 times.
- Noggin is the first monster who plays the same track through an entire song.
- Ziggurab was the second, on Amber Island, prior to Wave 2.
- All three Noggin variants like Kayna.
- Noggin and Carillong have the same three Decorations as Likes: the Travelers' Sign, the Trumplite, and the Fire Bush.
- Noggin on Composer Island has the same VSTs as Noggin on other islands, such as Water and Gold.
- With the release of the Mirror Earth Island song, there was a bug where Noggin no longer played on the island. This has yet to be fixed as of right now.
