“	The Pluckbill's shimmering strings are spun by weaving the Monster's own furthers with stardust fallen from the Aurora Monstralis. It is this lustrous dust that not only lends Pluckbill strings their signature sparkle, but also their unbreakable strength. These crafty Monsters have thus inspired a popular nugget of the Monster World wisdom: 'If the bond between friends is tougher than Pluckbill string, it is worth keeping.'	”
	— Monster Bio

Description

Pluckbill is a Double-Element Magical Monster that is found on Light Island and Magical Nexus. It was added on October 21st, 2020, during version 3.0.1. It is best obtained by breeding Kayna and Fluoress. By default, its breeding time is 9 hours long. As a Double-Elemental, Pluckbill does not have a high Coin production. The Goal for placing your first Pluckbill rewards the player with 25,000 Coins () and 1 Diamond ().

On Magical Nexus, Pluckbill is obtained by Transposing by spending 2,000,000 once fed to level 18. Its Transposing time is 1 day, 3 hours long. Unlike Light Island, Pluckbill does not produce currency on Magical Nexus.

Song

Audio Sample:

Instrument: Sitar + Crystallizer effect overlayed

When Pluckbill plucks one of its strings, it plays a tune that sounds a bit like that of a sitar with a crystallizer effect.

VSTs

Main article: VSTs

Virtual Studio Technology (VST) is a plugin format that allows audio software to integrate with digital audio workstations (DAWs). VST plugins come in two main forms: instruments (VSTi), which generate sounds, such as synthesizers and sample libraries, and effects, which process audio, through tools like reverb or distortion. Individual sounds within these plugins may be referred to as patches, presets, samples, or articulations, depending on the plugin. The Monster-Handlers utilize several VST plugins to create the sounds of instrumental and sometimes vocal Monsters. Note that many pages incorrectly label patches as "SoundFonts", an unrelated audio format.

Pluckbill's instrument has a crystallizer effect that has not yet been found.

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 or a Primordial Monster of the same rarity on the Island, items don't need to be near the Monster. Below are the things liked by Pluckbill:

Mammott
(requires level 2)

Egg Consumption

Main article: Zapping

While trying to breed other Monsters (particularly Monsters with a very low chance of breeding), the following Celestials and Vessels can be used to "dispose of" Pluckbill eggs immediately, instead of putting them into a Nursery and having that Nursery not be available. Note that doing this for Rare and Epic Wublins will cause the Wublin to stop producing currency and the eggs will not expire.

Pluckbill

Adult Furnoss 3 eggs Tiawa Candelavra 2 eggs 1 egg

Note that Monster eggs can only be "disposed of" before awakening Celestials and Vessels; afterwards those Monsters will not accept any eggs. Also note that Monsters to which you have already disposed the number of Pluckbill eggs that it accepts, will no longer be available as a "recycle bin" for such eggs. Awakened Celestials only accept eggs during their corresponding Celestial month.

Notes

• Pluckbill's name is a combination of the words "pluck" and "duckbill."
• Pluckbill's design is based off of a Bone Element Monster concept.
  • Additionally, platypuses glow under ultraviolet light, which fits with Pluckbill's classification as a Light-Elemental.
• Pluckbill was initially teased in the Light Island Login Screen, in the bottom right behind a tree.
  • It was teased again under the logo on the Login Screen for Spooktacle 2020.
• As shown by Fiddlement's teaser, Pluckbill represents the color purple.
• The strings of a Pluckbill are infused with stardust from the Aurora Monstralis, causing them to glow and become very strong. It is often used as a dental floss for other toothy monsters on Light Island, such as Mammott, Furcorn, Gob, and TooToo.
• Pluckbill is currently the only Monster to have a Breeding time equal to adding the time of its elemental parents, with the only other combination resulting in this being an Air and Bone hybrid.
• Pluckbill’s official PNG shows it with a more open mouth that isn't visible in-game.
