Dawn of Fire

Shellbeat youngsters are deceptively shy, for they can be quite mischievous! Sleeping monsters beware - that innocent-looking conch nearby might be a Shellbeat ready to burst out and play a wicked drum solo. Guaranteed to work better than any alarm!
Young Bio


A Shellbeat is too humble to admit it, but it is arguably the greatest drummer of the living ocean. Legends are told that their thumping rhythms can awaken even the most ancient of slumbering giants that are said to live in the water's dark depths.
Adult Bio


This Shellbeat returned from the Prism Gate forever changed! Even though Space Island does not number among the Outer Islands it inhabits, this squid-like Monster's nautical drum kit has been replaced at the molecular level with an interstellar array of percussive planetoids and unidentified flying objects - extraordinary!

Description[]

Shellbeat is a Quad-Elemental Monster that is first available at Level 9. It is best obtained by breeding Noggin and Spunge. Its breeding and incubation time is 24 hours long. It can be teleported to Cloud Island once fed to level 15 and Cave Island at level 20.

Song[]

Instrument: Acoustic drum kit

Its contribution on Cloud Island, Continent, and Cave Island is a rapid drum beat, especially in Cloud Island. On Cave Island, the Shellbeat plays a similar rhythm to the T-Rox on Plant Island on the original game. The leftmost plate acts as a crash cymbal, while the rightmost one acts as a high-hat. The center drum is used as a snare drum. The Shellbeat's shell acts as a kick drum as well as a tom-tom drum as it smacks it with its tail.

VSTs[]

Virtual Studio Technology is an audio plugin software that has libraries of sound effects and synthesized instruments. Within these libraries are SoundFonts, which are the individual effects and instruments themselves. The Monster-Handlers utilize several VSTs to create the sounds of instrumental and sometimes vocal Monsters.

Continent

VST: HALion 6
Sound library: HALion Sonic Factory
SoundFont: Standard Dry Kit

Cloud Island (first and third track)

VST: HALion 6
Sound Library: HS SE Basic
SoundFont: [GM 129] Stereo GM Kit

Cloud Island (second track)

Loop Manufacturer: Cubase
Loopset: Drum Loop

The VST for Shellbeat's track on Cave Island has not been found yet, but unlike Shellbeat on Composer Island / MSM Composer, its sound on Cave Island was not confirmed to be a live recording according to Dave Kerr in his Discord server.

Breeding[]

Shellbeat can be bred with combinations of the elements Air, Plant, Earth and Water. The possible combinations are:

Of these, Spunge+Noggin is the best combination, as it has the shortest wait time per failed attempt.

Shellbeat can also be bred in breeding failures. Some combinations that result in a Shellbeat in a breeding failure include:

(Good choice, 50% chance of a Tweedle)

(Good choice, 50% chance of a Potbelly)

(Good choice, 50% chance of a Noggin)

(Good choice, 50% chance of a Toe Jammer)

Feeding Monsters[]

Shellbeat will request food and/or non-food items that are the products of Structures. If you cannot give the Monster the food or items it requires, you can click the New Order button. After a 15 minute wait, it will ask for a new combination of foods or other items.

Rewards[]

When given the wanted foods or items, like any Monster, it will reward you coins.

Teleporting[]

Shellbeat can be teleported to Cloud Island when it reaches Level 15 for a reward of 6Diamonds (Dawn of Fire), or to Cave Island when it reaches Level 20 for a reward of 7Diamonds (Dawn of Fire). Teleport time for Shellbeat is 40 hours.

Notes[]

  • Shellbeat was added in the 1.3.0 update, along with Repatillo.
  • The young Shellbeat's shell seems to have stickers on it, with one depicting a Toe Jammer-like monster, or a Jammer from Jammer Splash.
  • The Adult Torrt also has stickers on its shell in the original game.
  • Originally, the Shellbeat had only one breeding combination in-game, that being Tweedle and Pummel.
  • It was the first monster from the original game to be added to DOF past the initial release, as well as the first quad-element monster from the original game added to DOF.
  • As a baby, its cymbals resemble bivalves. As an adult, they more resemble oysters.
  • Shellbeat was the first monster in the entire franchise to play throughout an entire song in both games. The second was Stogg.
  • Shellbeat was the first monster to take up 3x3 grid spaces as a baby. The second was Entbrat.
  • The Shellbeat was the first monster in DoF to only be on Cloud Island and Cave Island as an adult. The second was Krillby.
    • As a result, Shellbeat is the only Natural Quad to not have any of its possible breeding parents follow it on every Island it is on.
  • Shellbeat is the only natural quad that appears on three islands in DoF rather than two.
