Description
The Pummel closely resembles that of a periwinkle shark or piranha that has evolved to have arms and legs with teeth. It has two tongues with balled ends that are more like feet and a large plant membrane in its mouth, and gills and a dorsal fin, similar to that of a shark. Its body is colored cyan while its tongues are purple.
When this monster is idle, it stays in tempo by swinging its hands in the air and moving its tongues.
Song
Audio sample:
Instrument: Marching bass drum
The Pummel's contribution to an Island's song are different pitched marching bass drums. The Monster's two tongues end in calloused orbs that resemble the mallets on marching basses, which it uses to strike the plant membrane stretched across their open mouths. On Tribal Island, the Pummel smacks its membrane at an extremely fast pace, as if resembling a drum kit fill.
Breeding
The Pummel can be bred using monsters that combine to provide all the elements of Plant, Earth, and Water. Possible combinations:
Because Potbelly and Fwog take much less time to hatch than both Oaktopus and Shrubb, the first combination will provide more breeding opportunities in the same time period (on average).
Earning Rate and Maximum Income
Earning rate is in coins per hour and depends on Happiness % (Likes increase Happiness), also each monster has a limit to how much income it can hold at a time. Increasing the monster's level increases the limit.

Wublin Egg Consumption
While trying to breed other monsters (particularly monsters with a very low chance of breeding), the following Wublins can be used to "dispose of" Pummel eggs immediately instead of putting them into a Nursery and having that Nursery not be available.
| Monster Egg | Wublin 1 | Wublin 2 | Wublin 3 | Wublin 4 | Wublin 5 | Wublin 6 | Wublin 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| 6 eggs | 4 eggs | 4 eggs | 6 eggs | 8 eggs | 2 eggs | 12 eggs |
Note that bred monster eggs can only be "disposed of" into inactive Wublin statues; active Wublins do not accept monster eggs. Also note that inactive Wublin statues to which you have already disposed the number of Pummel eggs that Wublin accepts, will no longer be available as a "recycle bin" for such eggs.
Celestial Egg Consumption
While trying to breed other Monsters (particularly Monsters with a very low chance of breeding), the following Celestials can be used to "dispose of" Pummel eggs immediately instead of putting them into a Nursery and having that Nursery not be available.
| Monster Egg | Celestial 1 | Celestial 2 | Celestial 3 | Celestial 4 | Celestial 5 | Celestial 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|

| 5 eggs | 4 eggs | 3 eggs | 3 eggs | 2 eggs | 2 eggs |
Note that bred Monster eggs can only be "disposed of" into inactive Celestial statues; active Celestials do not accept Monster eggs. Also note that inactive Celestial statues to which you have already disposed the number of Pummel eggs that Celestial accepts, will no longer be available as a "recycle bin" for such eggs.
