“

Situated as the nexus point between the cosmic energies of the Constellations and the Monster World below, Starhenge is neither organic nor machine - indeed, it exists somewhere in between. Its very framework resonates with the song of the Celestials, luminous beings descended from the stars to share their music for all to hear.

”

Starhenge is an Island in My Singing Monsters: Dawn of Fire. It was added in version 1.7.0. Monsters called Celestials can be obtained by completing Star Charts. The egg of a certain Celestial has to travel 24 steps before reaching the end of the path to be "summoned" onto Starhenge.

Every month, a new Celestial takes its turn to become available, each with their own Star Chart. Multiple Celestials of the same species may occupy Starhenge at the same time. However, this isn't often seen, because it is expensive to purchase the additional rolls of the Cosmic Dice that are usually needed to move multiple Celestials of the same type. The currently available Celestial can also be bought for 1,250 Diamonds. During certain promotions, Celestials may be available to buy in the Market outside of their normal month of availability.

Song[]

Composer(s): Dave Kerr

Starhenge is a calm, yet fast-paced song. It plays at a tempo of 80 BPM in the 4/4 time signature.

The first half of the song is a polymodal mixture of C Dorian and C Mixolydian. Specifically, the tonic chord is expressed as a C power chord by most chord-expressing monsters, with the tonality recontextualized by melodic monsters (i.e. C Major by the presence of E in Plixie and Galvana, C Minor by the presence of E♭ in Loodvigg's second track) and by the presence of an E♭ chord elsewhere in the progression.

The second half is in A♭ Major.

Chord Progressions[]

Pattern 1: C5, C5, Eb, Bb

Pattern 2: C5 only

Pattern 3: Db, Ab, Eb

Song Table[]

This is a chart that shows where each Celestial plays in the song. Each part is 16 beats long at 160 beats per minute. The number next to each Celestial indicates which track is being played at each part.

Notes[]

An official Facebook comment by My Singing Monsters of what constellations in the Monster World correlate to in the real world

Proof that Celestial Fortunes change each year

"Starhenge" comes from "star" (as it is related to the Celestials) and from Stonehenge, one of the world's most well-known monuments, located in Wiltshire, England. For various reasons, Stonehenge is thought to have been used to study and/or honor the stars.
Some Element icons appear around Starhenge. They appear to show all six Natural Elements, all five Ethereal Elements, and the Supernatural Element, Electricity.

During the Skyship Challenge, fans got stamps with hidden letters saying "Look to the Sky." This later turned out to be a teaser for Starhenge.
Back when Scaratar was the only Celestial in Dawn of Fire, Starhenge had the shortest song of the entire My Singing Monsters franchise because Scaratar only had 1 track at the time that played infinitely. This was the case until more Celestials were added to Starhenge.
To some extent, the Monsters' constellations correlate with Zodiac constellations of the real world. However, the real-life constellations "begin" later in a month, rather than exactly at the beginnings of the months as the constellations in Dawn of Fire do. The Monster World constellations, their order of being released, their corresponding Monsters, and the real-world Zodiacal constellations that most closely match the month are as follows:
1. Poison's Mark, Scaratar, Leo
2. Shadowed Glare, Loodvigg, Virgo
3. Earthen Ellipse, Torrt, Libra
4. Plasmic Ooze, Plixie, Scorpio
5. Weathered Winds, Attmoz, Sagittarius
6. Ocean's Tears, Hornacle, Capricorn
7. Core Aflame, Furnoss, Aquarius
8. Frozen Form, Glaishur, Pisces
9. Growing Green, Blasoom, Aries
10. Crystalline Crop, Syncopite, Taurus
11. Mettle Gears, Vhamp, Gemini
12. Immortal Jolt, Galvana, Cancer
  - Because of axial precession, our real-world astrological signs also no longer match the constellations they are supposed to be associated with.
Celestial Fortunes always change each month and each year. This was confirmed by Big Blue Bubble to be the case before the Star Chart cycle repeated for the first time in August 2017.
Statistically, each roll of the dice will move the egg by an average of 1¹⁄₉ steps. (That's from 27 possible outcomes, all equally likely, giving a total of 30 steps.) Each day, you get an average of 1¹⁄₅ free rolls if you roll every day and maintain the streak (1 roll/day + a bonus roll every 5 days). Multiplying these together gives an average of 1¹⁄₃ steps per day. So if you are diligent in your daily free rolling, you're highly likely to complete your path before the end of the month.
In March 2017, the placeholder icon for Galvana simply disappeared from the Available Monsters list. Galvana reappeared in the list with the 1.12.0 update.

The "secret Element" found on Starhenge (circled in red). It appears similar to the symbol found on the Wubbox's hands. It has been revealed to be the 's sigil. — The "secret Element" found on Starhenge (circled in red). It appears similar to the symbol found on the Wubbox's hands. It has been revealed to be the Colossals's sigil.

Interestingly enough, another symbol that resembles a swirl can be found on Starhenge. Instead of being on the main platform of the Island, however, it is on a rock that orbits the Island. This "Element" was later revealed to be the symbol of the Colossals, which helped form the Monster World.
Starhenge is referenced in Rare Reebro's description, described as "a cosmic island from ancient times."
In Big Blue Bubble's Extra Life 2018 Twitch stream, it was stated that Starhenge was running on energy from the Continent, during the Dawn of Fire's "golden age." When the Continent broke apart, ending the golden age, Starhenge didn't have a power source, so it ran on stored power for a long, long time. It finally ran out on somewhere in the original game, fell out of the sky, and crashed into an unknown Colossal, making Celestial Island.
- During Extra-Life 2021, a reading from an ancient text revealed that the Colossals created Starhenge to give the Celestials a place to sing in harmony.
Starhenge is the only Island in Dawn of Fire with a full skybox, unlike something like the Continent in which it only covers what it needs.

Behind Starhenge shown
Due to the isometric view of Dawn of Fire, it is impossible to see the intended shape of Starhenge, and nearly impossible to see the spike at the bottom. Here's an image of a side view of Starhenge.
The Star Chart for Mech is Mettle Gears, and from the name some may think it just means metal gears, but "mettle" means your ability to cope well with difficulties or to face a demanding situation in a spirited and resilient way (similar to spirit). This could mean the gears are sturdy, and able to keep working under extreme conditions.
- The way the word is used is as an adjective, even though "mettle" is a noun.
- It could also be a reference to the video game series Metal Gear.
The symbol on Starhenge, and the Star Chart for the Element of Cold, is an eight pointed snowflake (which physically can not exist), even though the symbol everywhere else has a six pointed snowflake.
Starhenge and Wanderer Island are the only Islands in Dawn of Fire to not have any Natural Element, although the Natural Elements are represented by their respective inhabitants.
Starhenge was originally going to be called "Zodiac Island." This name could be seen in the Info dialog on the Star Charts menu when the 1.7.0 update was first released. In turn, the Celestials were referred to here as the "Zodiac Monsters."
