“	The tippity-tappity tones made by Tapicorn's sticks meeting its horn are believed to be a form of communication undecipherable by any known Monster. Still, this Morse-like language is surely reaching out to someone! When quizzed on the subject, these uni-horned Monsters are ever evasive - but their pithy replies indicate that their penpal likely resides on another plane of existence.	”

Description[]

Tapricorn is a Triple-Element Magical Monster that is found on Psychic Island and Magical Nexus. It was added on September 25th, 2019 during Version 2.3.2. It is best obtained by breeding Bonkers and Toe Jammer. By default, its breeding time is 16 hours long. As a Triple-Elemental, Tapricorn has a somewhat decent Coin production. The Goal for placing your first Tapricorn rewards the player with 50,000 and 1 .

On Magical Nexus, Tapricorn is obtained by Transposing by spending 4,000,000 once fed to level 18. Its Transposing time is 1 day, 10 hours long. Unlike Psychic Island, Tapricorn does not produce currency on Magical Nexus.

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 Tapricorn:

Theremind (requires level 9)
Castanevine (level 18)
Thumpies Totem (level 14)
Guitree (level 16) ()

Egg Consumption[]

Main article: Zapping

While trying to breed other Monsters (particularly Monsters with a very low chance of breeding), the following Celestials and Vessels can be used to "dispose of" Tapricorn eggs immediately, instead of putting them into a Nursery and having that Nursery not be available. Note that doing this for Rare Wublins will cause the Wublin to stop producing currency and the eggs will not expire.

Tapricorn

Adult Plixie
2 eggs
Rootitoot	Wynq	Yelmut	Bowhead	Gnarls
1 egg	1 egg	2 eggs	1 egg	1 egg

Note that Monster eggs can only be "disposed of" before awakening Celestials and Vessels; afterwards those Monsters will not accept any eggs. Also note that Monsters to which you have already disposed the number of Tapricorn eggs that it accepts, will no longer be available as a "recycle bin" for such eggs. Awakened Celestials only accept eggs during their corresponding Celestial month.
