“ | 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 Triple 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, and easily-startled neighbors would do well to give it a wide berth. | ” |
Description
Punkleton is a Seasonal Monster that celebrates the Spooktacle season and is found on Plant Island. It was added on October 23rd, 2012 during Version 1.0.4. As a Seasonal Monster, it is only available at certain times. It is best obtained by breeding Bowgart and T-Rox. By default, its breeding time is 18 hours long. Although Punkleton does not have good coin production when collecting once per day, when collecting multiple times it can rival other Monsters such as Ethereals or Quad-elements.
Punkleton can either be teleported to Seasonal Shanty once fed to level 15 or bred at any time with the combination of any two Aux Seasonals (Gobbleygourd, Clavavera, Viveine, Jam Boree, Carillong, Whiz-bang, Monculus, Ffidyll, Spurrit). It has a low coin production compared to other Monsters on Seasonal Shanty.
Song
Audio sample:
Voice actor: Dave Kerr
On Plant Island, Punkleton chants "Ooga, booga, ooga-booga" along with Shrubb in the first few verses of the song. It does not join in with Shrubb and other Monsters for the Island's big chorus though. On Gold Island, Punkleton chants the same song as on Plant Island, but with a bit less reverb. It joins in the middle of the song along with Cybop and Rare Wubbox.
On Seasonal Shanty, it has a quieter, whispy voice due to having a different voice actor. It joins in during a large majority of the middle part of the song and chants "Ooga booga, booga boo ga ga".
Breeding
Punkleton can only be bred for a limited time on Plant Island during the Spooktacle season or during an out of Season event. They will stay on your island unless sold.
On Seasonal Shanty, Punkleton can be bred at any time, regardless of season. It can be bred with the combination of any two Aux seasonals, which include:

- There was a bug that claimed Punkleton and other Seasonals were available on Composer Island.[citation needed]
