“	According to monster lore, the ancestors of the Sox were self-conscious of the gaping holes in their tails. Over time, it was discovered that eating precious stones spurred the growth of peculiar metal pads over the holes. Quite by accident, Soxes learned they could use them, along with their tube-like snouts, to create smooth musical riffs! The age-old mystery of 'What does the Sox say' has now been solved.	”

Song

Audio samples:

VST (Memory Game; Ethereal Island):

Live recording (Plasma Islet):

Instrument: Tenor Saxophone (Ethereal Island), Alto Saxophone (Plasma Islet)
Performer: Celestyn (Plasma Islet)

Sox's instrument is a saxophone, but to be exact, a tenor sax on Ethereal, and an alto sax on Plasma. On Ethereal Island, Sox plays the saxophone like any digital instrument, but on Plasma Islet, Sox plays the saxophone in a more realistic manner.

VSTs

Main article: VSTs

Virtual Studio Technology (VST) is a plugin format that allows audio software to integrate with digital audio workstations (DAWs). VST plugins come in two main forms: instruments (VSTi), which generate sounds, such as synthesizers and sample libraries, and effects, which process audio, through tools like reverb or distortion. Individual sounds within these plugins may be referred to as patches, presets, samples, or articulations, depending on the plugin. The Monster-Handlers utilize several VST plugins to create the sounds of instrumental and sometimes vocal Monsters. Note that many pages incorrectly label patches as "SoundFonts", an unrelated audio format.

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 Sox:

• Sox is a direct reference to the music video "What Does The Fox Say?", hence its bio saying "What Does The Sox Say?".
  • A teaser for Sox includes a play on some lyrics of What Does the Fox Say?.
• Sox's name may also be a reference to "Fox In Socks"
• Sox never seems to use the key at the very bottom of its tail.
• Sox's Season of Love Costume, Careless Kit, is a reference to the song Careless Whisper by George Michael.
