“	Is that the Poewk's face, or is it a mask procured from parts unknown? If it is indeed a mask... Why? Is it bashful? Cold? Ghastly to behold? Or is this Wublin simply into cosplay? That would explain a lot. The Poewk's musical performance is a mesmerizing display of frantic grace and composed frenzy.	”

Description

Poewk is a Supernatural Monster exclusive to Wublin Island. It was added alongside Zynth, Brump, Thwok, and Dwumrohl on March 24th, 2016 during Version 1.4.0. Poewk is obtained by being purchased in the Market for 5,000 as an inactive statue, which can be woken up by zapping all required Monster Eggs into it. It has a low currency production compared to other Wublins.

Song

Instrument: Electric Pipe Organ

Poewk's song is that of an electric sounding Pipe Organ, specifically in the "organo pleno" registration.

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.

VST: HALion 6
Sound library: HS SE Artist
SoundFont: Reed&Pipe Organ

Breeding

Poewk cannot be bred. Like all Wublins, it is bought at the Market as an inactive statue that must be woken up.

Powering Up

The allotted time to fill a Poewk in order to activate is 5 days. If the inventory is not completed in the time the Poewk resets to an empty statue and all eggs inside are lost. Eggs can be zapped from Mirror Islands instead of, or in conjunction with Natural and Magical Islands.

Filling In

Like other Wublins, Poewk can instead be filled in with Diamonds. Each egg can be filled in for 30. Poewk requires a total of 330 for all eggs to be filled.

Since all eggs have an equal Diamond fill cost, it is best to save your Diamonds for the Monsters that are harder to obtain. And oftentimes, it is cheaper to speed up eggs to zap from the Breeding Structure instead.

Wildcards may also be used when filling in a Poewk's inventory. Similarly, it's best to save them for harder to obtain Monsters.

Income

Main article: Wublins#Income

Poewk, like other Wublins, can produce between 39,000 and 78,000 Coins, 7,200 and 14,400 Treats, and 144 and 288 Shards. As a Monster that takes up a 3x3 grid space, Poewk produces 3 Diamonds. Wublins generate a random type of currency every 6 to 12 hours. This rate can be increased or decreased depending on Polarity.

Currency generation is calculated separately per Monster, so multiple Poewks will receive more currency, and have a higher chance overall to obtain valuable Diamonds. For maximizing income across your Wublin Island, see Wublin Island Grid Planning.

Currency Distribution

Main article: Wublins#Currency Type Distribution

The currency for Poewk is randomly selected from the 4 currencies it can produce. The chances to get each currency are detailed below. Datapoints are the number of recorded collections; the higher number of datapoints, the more accurate the data is.

Poewk's Currency Distribution

Coins	Treats	Shards	Diamonds	Datapoints
32.36%	30.99%	30.48%	6.16%	584

Please do not edit this table. The data is taken from the Wublins page, which is derived from a joint spreadsheet. You can share your data on its talk page. Note that only large sample sizes of data are valuable.

Polarity

All Wublins are affected by Polarity, a mechanic that modifies their currency rate similar to happiness for other Monsters. When a Wublin is placed near another Wublin they are positively charged towards, the time to produce currency will decrease by 25%. When placed near a Wublin they are negatively charged towards, the time to produce currency will increase by 25%. The Common variants can be used instead for Rare Wublins, but the effect will be half as strong. Rare variants can fully affect the polarity of a Common Wublin.

The following Wublins affect Poewk's polarity:

Negatively affects Poewk	Positively affects Poewk
Bona-Petite	Brump

Poewk also affects the polarity of the following Wublins:

Negatively affected by Poewk	Positively affected by Poewk
Maulch	Tympa

Strategy

The following section details strategy for powering up Poewk, for general strategy that can apply to any Monster, see Zapping#Strategy

Poewk can be powered up with up to Water Island unlocked. It can be powered up faster with more Islands unlocked, with Bonus Breeding Structures, or Enhanced Breeding Structures.

The following strategies require zapping Eggs twice per day, once in the morning and once at night.

If you have all Islands up to Water Island, breed:

If you have all Islands up to Fire Haven unlocked, you can complete Poewk faster by using this strategy:

Notes

• Poewk's name is a homophonic portmanteau of the word "poke", the method that the Poewk uses to play their instrument, and the last name of "Edgar Allen Poe". Edgar Allen Poe wrote many poems and short stories, one of which being "The Raven", which may be the basis for the Poewk's bird-like mask/face.
• Monster-Handler Matt in the Wublin Island tutorial video shows that he pronounces this monster's name as "poke", just like the English word "poke".
• Poewk plays a secondary tune during its song that has a very similar note progression to Screemu's song.
• On March 29th, 2016, BBB posted an animated GIF with some "more research on the Wublins", consisting of some trivia about the first set of five Wublins. The facts for Poewk are:
  • Hobbies include competitive keyboarding and embroidery club.
  • Can crotchet a vest in record time (Yet kindly refrains from doing so).
  • It is unwise to challenge Poewk to a dance-off.
