“

A close relative of Smunkins, the Punkleton lays low for most of the year, with only its head poking above the soil. It is rumored to be the offspring of two three-element monsters.

For a limited time, it will wrench itself out of the ground, and attempt to spook other monsters with its boisterous song! It apparently works, since it is impossible to breed it with any other monster.

”

Description

The Punkleton is a skeletal monster. It has red, orange, and yellow leaves where its joints are, and a jack-o-lantern for a head.

The egg of the Punkleton resembles an actual pumpkin, or if looking at the Monster World, a Smunkin.

Song

Audio sample:

Voice actor: David Kerr

The Punkleton Monster's contribution to an island's song is an electronically-garbled vocal component that helps to set the tempo. It frantically chants "Hooga, booga, hooga-booga!" with a slight echo that goes to the beat as the Punkleton chants. The echo cannot be heard on Gold Island.

Breeding

The Punkleton Monster can only be bred for a limited time during the Spooktacle season. Any Punkletons on Plant Island that are obtained during that time will stay unless they are sold. The combination is:

+ Bowgart + T-Rox

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 Punkleton:

Shrubb (requires level 9)
Tree Forte Tower (level 17)
Smunkin Patch (level 11)
Beeyoot Tree (level 8) ()

Name Origin

The name is a portmanteau of "punkin" (which is a colloquialism for "pumpkin") and "skeleton", so the correct pronunciation of "Punkleton" is probably intended to be Punk-leh-ton, rather than Punk-ul-ton.

Notes

The Punkleton monster is the first Seasonal monster introduced to the game and appeared in the Market on October 23, 2012, and stayed until October 31, 2012.
- It was also the first Seasonal monster to fully return for a few days out of season, either by breeding or purchase with diamonds (at an inflated price of 225), from April 1, 2013 until April 4, 2013 at noon ET. From September 12th 2014 to September 19th 2014, the Punkleton was again available to breed and purchase, like the other Seasonal monsters, as part of the game's anniversary celebration. In 2016, the Punkleton returned on April 15th and lasted for 72 hours. In 2017, an out of season breeding occurred April 21-24. In 2018, it was available along with the Rare Punkleton and Rare Furcorn on Friday April the 13th for 72 hours.
- Ironically, the Epic Punkleton was the most recent Epic Seasonal to be released in the game.
Its sound on Gold Island sounds very similar to its Plant Island sound. The only difference is that its song on Gold Island lacks an echo.
The tagline commonly associated with Punkleton’s release (like in 2017) reads "On Plant Island we call home, everyone hail to the Punkleton song!" in the Mailbox. This is a reference to The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Punkleton's egg is perhaps one of the most "normal"-looking eggs in the game; it's a pumpkin.
Despite being centred around fall, Punkleton dislikes cold air.
In older versions of MSM (before Seasonal Elements existed), Punkleton simply had no element.
So far, Punkleton has the lowest breeding time of any Seasonal monster.
Punkleton and Yool are the only seasonal monsters to have their corresponding seasons with monsters that dress up for them.
The Punkleton eggs look like they are being carved, Common Punkleton's egg looks like a normal pumpkin. Rare Punkleton's egg is broken in the middle and has what look like the heart of Rare Punkleton, it looks like they're taking out the pumpkin's pulp. On the Epic Punkleton egg, it looks carved and has a lantern in it
