“	If the Element of Poison has a bit of a questionable reputation, this could be traced back to Rare Humbugs. Eschewing the typically amicable attitude of the Common Ethereal, they seem to delight in injecting their venom into poor Torchle Trees. The joke's on them, though - the trees actually lap it up and grow stronger as a result!	”

Quick Answers

What is the best way to breed a Rare Humbug?

To breed a Rare Humbug, pair a Humbug with any other Monster. Opt for a Single-Element Ethereal partner to reduce the chance of a time-consuming Double-Element Ethereal. Combinations include Humbug with Ghazt, Grumpyre, Reebro, or Jeeode. After obtaining a Rare Humbug, breed it with a regular Humbug for more. The success rate is approximately 1%, with 70 attempts yielding a 50% success rate, and 690 attempts resulting in a 99.9% success rate.

What is the breeding time for a Rare Humbug?

A Rare Humbug has a default breeding time of 1 day, 21 hours, and 30 minutes. On Ethereal Island, the breeding time is reduced to 12 hours, 38 minutes, and 15 seconds. It can be bred using a Quarrister and a Triple-Element Monster, or any combination that yields a Humbug on Ethereal Island.

Which monsters are best for breeding a Rare Humbug?

To breed a Rare Humbug, pair a Humbug with any other Monster. Single-Element Ethereals like Ghazt, Grumpyre, Reebro, or Jeeode are preferred over Double-Element Ethereals. Once a Rare Humbug is achieved, it can be bred with a regular Humbug for more. There's no 'optimal' method, but a Rare Monster can substitute any parent in the breeding process.

How does the Coin production of a Rare Humbug compare to that of other monsters?

The Rare Humbug, added on May 14th, 2016, is known for its impressive Coin production on Earth Island, outperformed by a minimal number of Monsters. Its Coin production rates are similar to those of Rare Quarrister and Epic Quarrister, contingent upon your Coin collection routine. Yet, certain Monsters surpass the Rare Humbug in Coin production. The earning rate of the Rare Humbug, either in Coins per minute or Shards per hour, is influenced by Happiness % and Monster Level, with the maximum income limit increasing with the Monster's Level.

Description

Rare Humbug is a Single-Element Rarethereal Monster. It was added on May 14th, 2016, during version 1.4.1. As a Rare Monster, it is only available at select times. It is best obtained by breeding Quarrister and a Triple-Element Monster. By default, its breeding time is 1 day, 21 hours, and 30 minutes long. Rare Humbug has a great Coin production on Earth Island that is bested by very few Monsters. It has Coin rates comparable with Rare Quarrister to Epic Quarrister depending on your Coin collection schedule.

Rare Humbug can either be teleported to Ethereal Island when fed to level 15, or bred there with any combination that would result in a Humbug. It will take 12 hours, 38 minutes, and 20 seconds to breed. Like all Rare Single-Element Ethereals, Rare Humbug has excellent Shard production, bested only by other Single-Element Rare and Epic Monsters.

Breeding

Like all other Rares, Rare Humbug is only available for breeding during short time periods announced in the game.

Breeding on Earth Island

Like its Common variant, Rare Humbug can be bred on Earth Island using a combination of Quarrister and a Triple-Element Monster. Possible combinations:

Quarrister	+	Reedling
Quarrister	+	Thumpies
Quarrister	+	PomPom
Quarrister	+	Clamble

Failed breeding results are one of the parent Monsters, or a normal Humbug. Rare Humbug's chances of breeding are less than the Common Humbug's. Wishing Torches will increase the chance of success, and so will using high level Monsters. The Rare version of any Monster can be used for breeding instead of the Common version.

Breeding on Ethereal Island

On Ethereal Island, breeding a Humbug with any other Monster can result in a Rare Humbug instead of a Common Humbug. Note that it is better to breed Humbug with another Single-Element Ethereal rather than a Double-Element Ethereal, as this gives less chance of getting a Double-Element Ethereal, which takes a long time to breed and incubate. Possible combinations:

Humbug	+	Ghazt
Humbug	+	Grumpyre
Humbug	+	Reebro
Humbug	+	Jeeode

Once a Rare Humbug is obtained, breeding it with a regular Humbug to get more Rare Humbugs will avoid getting Single-Element or Double-Element Ethereals in the way, as long as Rare Humbug is still available.

Availability

For a list of when this Monster has been available, see: Breeding Availability

Rare Humbug, like all Rarethereals, is only available for breeding, buying, Tuning Up, or Dish-Harmonizing some of the time during special events, typically during the weekend. Examples:

• A selection of 2-3 Singles and Doubles.
• All 5 Singles
• All of them (Anniversary Month only)

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 Rare Humbug:

Humbug
(requires level 9)

Pipes of Cicado
(level 10)

Trumplite
(level 11)

Yum Yum Tree
(level 18)

Notes

• Rare Humbug's bio revealed the name of the Large Trees on Earth Island.
• The Torchle Tree in Rare Humbug's teaser has a gooey green substance on it. This is the poison it injects into them as mentioned in its bio.
  • The Monstrous text in its teaser reads "Don't bug me." This is a pun on Rare Humbug resembling a bug.
