MSM Bio:
“ | The Rare Scups bioluminescent spurs are perfectly suited to its predominantly nocturnal lifestyle. Sure, it performs along nonchalantly during the day, but it's [a] total mystery what it does after the sun sets. Every once in a while, a company of ambitious monsters will resolve to stay up long enough to witness a Rare Scups in nighttime action, but the siren song of the Castle's beds always proves too much to resist. | ” |
Description
Rare Scups have the same peculiar body shape of their Common counterparts, but outside of that they are much weirder, as they have:
- Very dark skin, black across most of its body
- Green thorns on their legs and head
- Pale green tails/horns with very fine "hairs" or "spikelets"
- Purple suction cups and eye borders, instead of pink.
- A main body that is upside down, in relation to the Common monster
- The absence of a mouth.
- Green iris, instead of brown.
- Its pupils are also noticeably larger than its Common counterpart's, since it is nocturnal.
Song
- See Scups.
Breeding
The Scups can be bred using Monsters that combine to provide all the elements of Air, Earth and Water. Possible combinations:
Because Tweedle and Fwog take much less time to hatch than both Quibble and Cybop, the first combination will provide more breeding opportunities in the same time period (on average).
Any kind of breeding attempt which includes a regular Scups may fail, and give a Rare Scups as a result instead of the regular Scups. This includes all of the breeding combinations that can't ever work in the usual way. If you're trying to get a Rare Scups as a result of breeding failure, the most effective combination is to breed a regular Scups with a 4-element monster, since the offspring will always be a Scups except in the rare case that an Ethereal monster is the result. (This assumes that the probability of getting a Rare Scups instead of a regular Scups doesn't depend on which Monsters are used for breeding.)
The Rare version of any breeding Monster can be used instead of the Common version.
Availability
- For a list of when this Monster has been available, see: Breeding Availability
Rare Scups, like all Rare Natural and Fire Monsters, is only available for breeding and buying some of the time during special events. Examples of such events:
- All Monsters that appear on a certain Island.
- All Monsters with a specific element.
- All Monsters with a specific theme.
- A seemingly random selection of a handful of Monsters.
In particular, they are likely to appear during Special Occasions.
The exception is Rare Fire Monsters on Amber Island. These are evolved in the Crucible, and are available any time after the Crucible is unlocked (by having 15 Monsters on Amber Island).
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.
Feeding Monsters
Each Monster needs to be fed four times before it reaches the next level. Increasing the Monster's level increases the Coins earned per minute, as well as the maximum Coins earned.

More info can be found in the Feeding article.
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 on the Island, items don't need to be near the Monster. Below are the things liked by Rare Scups:
- Scups (requires level 7)
- Eerie Remains (level 14)
- Bass String Bridge (level 19)
- Tree Hut (level 17) ()
