“
The game-changing Tribal Island is here! Just as the last of the Rare Monsters was revealed, this extraordinary new realm sprang into existence and ignited a new challenge for novice and seasoned players alike. It's up to you to form a Tribe with your Friends and keep your Monster well-fed to raise your Tribal Level, earn Starpower, and redeem Tribal Rewards. You may even unlock an ancient secret of the Monster World!
You are now a member of this tribe. Your monster has been placed on the island and you can start feeding it to earn Tribal rewards and Starpower!
”
— Notification upon being selected as part of a tribe and arriving at Tribal Island.
Tribal Island was introduced on August 6th, 2015, as part of Update 1.3.5.
This Island is a collaborative effort between the player and up to 29 of their friends, who form a Tribe. Each friend can contribute one Monster (a "Natural" Single, Double, Triple, or Quad-Element type) to the Tribe's harmony. As the monsters of the Tribe are fed to higher levels, the Tribe as a whole reaches weekly Goals and is rewarded at the end of the week.
It is available for free when the map becomes available at Level 4.
A graphic from the in-game News provides a brief history of Tribal Island in Monstrous. Translated, it reads:
At one point in history, few could have foreseen the formation of Tribal Island. After all, the Colossals and their island hosts were fated to go their separate ways, never to rejoin... Were they not? The advent of Tribal Island represents the fulfillment of a prophecy from primitive times, in which greater bonds than ever before will be forged between caretakers of the monster realm. And harmony will once more be achieved.
Despite not having a released song for its own song, the tempo and its key signature sound quite different. It plays at 120 beats per minute and at mostly D#/Eb Major.
Tribal Island has an ambience that consists of jungle critters.
Song Table[]
This is a chart that shows where each monster plays in the song. Each part is 8 beats long. The number next to each monster indicates which track is being played at each part.

Indigenous Monsters[]
All 30 Natural Monsters (except Mimic) are available to place by tribe members. Kayna is also unlockable on the island once reaching Tribal Level 100 each week. Each member of a tribe contributes one Monster, and multiple Monsters of the same species can be placed, meaning that the complete song can only be reached if each tribe member has a unique Monster.
Castle[]
Like Wublin Island, Tribal Island does not have a castle. Instead, Tribal Island has a limited amount of spaces for people to join the tribe and place a monster on the island (30 spaces).
Joining an Island[]
To begin, select the Tribal Island from the island map. After that, press the "Tribal" button. The Tribal menu contains three tabs: "Tribes", "My Tribe" and "Top Tribes". On the "Tribes" tab, the player can see information about their friends' tribes, visit them, request to join one, or accept an invitation to join one. Alternatively, they can use the Tribal menu to create a new Tribal Island and invite others to it.
A maximum of thirty players can occupy a single Tribal Island. Since there are thirty different Natural non-Quint Monsters, any duplicated monster will make it impossible to get the complete choir without replacing one of the duplicates.
The player can only be a part of one Tribe at a time, and they must leave a Tribe before they can join another. Be aware that whenever someone leaves and joins a different Tribal Island, their monster's level is reset to 1.
Each player chooses one (and only one) of the Natural Monsters for the island. They can only choose from the Natural Monsters that live on one of their own islands. (For instance, a player can't choose a Quarrister if they haven't bred one on Earth Island yet.) That monster is then fed to higher levels using food, coins, or shards. Monsters on Tribal Island can be fed above Level 20; there does not appear to be a maximum level, although monsters do not grow any larger after Level 15. Players can only feed their own Monster.
When a member chooses a Monster, their monster will be placed randomly and only the Chief can interact with it. The Monster, instead of taking a randomly given name, they will take on the name of the member who placed it.
Chiefs[]
A Chief is the leader of a tribe. They can interact with the other members monsters by muting or moving their monster. The Chief cannot feed others monsters. They own the entire island, and can name it upon creation. Chiefs cannot leave their island without making another member a chief first. Although it seems impossible to leave your one man tribe from here, try to restart the game before trying to leave the empty tribe, that might be enough, otherwise you can follow the steps below to get out of your tribe.
Log out of your game through the options menu. Click "Change User" and press one of the 3 login methods you haven't used to make a new account. It may take a while, but you'll eventually unlock tribal island, and be able to join your main account's tribe. Accept the request on your main account, leave and promote your second account, and now you're free to join other tribes!
Goals[]
Each Tribal Island has its own Goals that can be achieved in return for Diamonds, a common technique in Diamond Farming. When a Tribe member feeds their monster to a higher level, the overall level of the Island increases as well. Rewards are distributed among every member of the Island at the end of the week.
Goals are achieved when the Island as a whole reaches Level 30, 50, 100, 150, 300, 450, 600, 750, 1000, and 1500. (Note that if a Tribe has the maximum of thirty monsters, it reaches Level 30 automatically, while Level 1500 is possible if each monster is fed up to Level 50.)
When the Island reaches Level 100, Kayna is released from the amber crystal in the center of the Island and joins the harmony of Tribal Island.
At the end of each week, all Tribal Island monsters are reset to Level 1 and the Tribal Island goals are reset.
To level a Monster up, you will need to feed it 4 times, just like other Islands.

Because the cost to feed a Monster increases quadratically for each Level, it becomes very expensive very quickly to feed a Monster to higher levels using Coins or Treats, so Shards are recommended instead. Shards can be regularly obtained from Monsters on Ethereal Island, Ethereal Workshop, and Magical Sanctum. Shards can also be attained infrequently from both Wublin Island and Celestial Island.
Shards by Levels graph
Direct formulas for Shards based on Level are:
from previous level:
(odd): level(level+2)+3
(even): level(level+2)+4
total to level:
1/3·level³ + 3/2·level² - 7/3·level; rounded up
Leveling Up the Island[]
Tribal Island is all about having multiple people feed their individual Monsters up, which increases the entire Island's level as well, to attain the Goal rewards or to get a high score on the leader boards.
Because feeding individual Monsters up to higher levels gets very expensive, very quickly, most Tribes will require their members to at least feed to a certain level in order to be fair.
As an example, presume that there is a Tribe with only two members, and they wanted to free Kayna. The Tribe as a whole would need to reach Level 100.
If one person would Feed their Monster to Level 99, while the other would remain at Level 1, the Tribe would be at Level 100. However that first person would have to spend 337,904 Shards to get there, while the other person spends nothing.
If both persons would Feed their Monster to Level 50 instead, the Tribe would also be at Level 100. However, now both persons spend 45,300 Shards each to get there, or 90,600 Shards total - much less than in the previous scenario.
That's why it's always best for each Tribe member to level up to the same minimum desired Level. The desired individual Monster Level can easily be calculated by taking the desired Tribal Goal level, and dividing it by the number of Members. The more members a Tribe has - up to 30 - the cheaper it will be for every person to get their Monster to the desired individual Monster level.
Using the above example, if there were 8 members instead of only 2, then half would only have to level up their Monster to Level 12, the other half to level 13 (12+12+12+12 = 48, 13+13+13+13 = 52, 48+52 = 100). This would cost each member only 764 / 956 Shards respectively, or 6,880 Shards total.
To get the maximum amount of Goal rewards - at Level 1500 - with the least amount of Feeding required, the Tribe should have 30 members, all of which would level up their Monster to Level 50. This gives the least cost (45,300 Shards each) for the most reward (20 Diamonds) at this time, a common technique in Diamond Farming.
See the Strategy section below for more details.
Starpower[]
A player earning rewards at the end of each week
Starpower is a separate score for each individual player, but it is earned by participating in Tribal Islands. At the end of the week--at the same time as Rewards are distributed for reaching Tribal Goals--every Tribal Island member's Starpower score will increase. The amount of Starpower awarded is calculated based on individual contributions, and increases the more members there are in a Tribe, unlike the diamond rewards which are based solely on the Tribal Island level. Each player earns 5 starpower per individual level contributed, plus a base value common to all tribal members. The formula for the common base value is currently unknown, but for a 30 member tribe, it seems to be equal to the Tribal Island level, plus approximately 250-300 additional Starpower.
An individual player's Starpower accumulates continuously from week to week and does not reset when leaving a Tribal Island or joining another. However, staying in the same tribe for a high number of consecutive weeks will make the amount of Starpower you earn higher.
Starpower can be used to make purchases in the StarShop, where players can purchase Rare Monsters and exclusive decorations anytime.
Strategy[]
Monsters do not earn Currency on Tribal Island. However, players do earn diamonds at the end of the week if the Tribe as a whole achieves certain Goals, allowing for Diamond Farming to occur.
If the player decides to join a tribe, it's up to the Tribe Chief to accept their request. They can improve their chances if they follow these guidelines:
Pick a monster not yet in the tribe. Many people would like to hear the whole song and that can't happen if some monsters are missing.
Pick a monster that less players have. Since the chief will have a lower chance to find that monster, they will be more tempted, making them more likely to accept your request.
After sending a request to join a Tribe, check back frequently to see if the Tribe Chief has accepted it. Popular tribes have many requests to join. If the request is not accepted for several days, cancel it and try a different tribe.
Contribute to the tribe by feeding the monster weekly. Don't give the chief a reason to remove it from the tribe.
To get higher amounts of diamonds and Starpower from your Tribal Island:
Join a tribe with minimum monster level set 5-10 levels below your maximum capabilities. When tribe members feed their monsters to similar levels, everyone gets the best reward. See Tribe Contacts for some tribes.
Invite friends to join who you believe will make a positive contribution to the tribe. If you are a general member, you will only be able to send an invitation if your tribe has 29 or fewer members. Note that any new members of a tribe must be approved by the chief. When a tribe at level 29, its chief can allow current members to refer potential new members. Good members that level up equals higher earnings for all.
Shards are the only reasonable way to level up the monster to a high level. Populate the Ethereal Island or Magical Sanctum soon with as many single-element monsters as possible.
A full Ethereal Island or Magical Sanctum with level 15 monsters will allow the player to level-up on Tribal Island to 100 or more in a week (you can earn more than 350,000 per maxed island if you collect shards 3 times a day).
If you ignore the Starpower, the Tribal Island is a way to convert Shards () to Diamonds (). Assuming that all tribe members are evenly using shards to level their monsters, there is a point where it is no longer cost effective to keep leveling up since 30,000 can be traded for 1 in the market (not any more since Version 3.9.0). Using this fact, the following table shows what individual levels need to be reached to meet tribal goals. Blank spaces in the table mean that it would cost more shards than it is worth to reach the next goal. For example, in a one-member tribe, it takes 35,020 shards to go from level 30 to level 50 to gain a 1 diamond reward, which is more than the 30,000 shards needed to buy a diamond in the market.

Teasers[]
Since the appearance of Rare Mammott, BBB began posting letters on social media and in-game news as hints to Tribal Island coming to the game. The letters together spelled out "Tribal Fire".
On July 27th, an in-game loading screen message read "Join together with your friends to create a Tribe, to discover an ancient secret about the Monster World on Tribal Island."
This was likely added early by accident, as Tribal Island hadn't yet been revealed.
On July 28th, BBB posted another vine with a woman singing similar to Maw, and confirmed that an announcement will be arriving "later this week".
Also on July 28th, a post that included a secret message between 2 Tweedles appeared. It said, "Hey! The Monster-Handlers are working on something. Tell everyone." The other Tweedle responded, "OK! I'll tell them!" The game servers then went into maintenance for several hours.
Expansion Required This section requires expansion. You can help My Singing Monsters Wiki by adding more relevant content to this section.
Underneath Tribal Island, there are a series of cave networks that connect to other Islands, such as Fire Haven and Bone Island. These tunnels also have paintings depicting various things from the Monster World during the time of the Dawn of Fire, such as Prismatic Monsters, Fire Monsters, a depiction of the Continent splitting apart, the Fire Monsters evacuating into the Living Core, and more. These tunnels can be seen in various trailers for the game.

Hidden message in Monstrous describing the history of Tribal Island
The Market cannot be accessed on Tribal Island, meaning it cannot be decorated or have any Structures on it.
Despite the in-game bio of Tribal Island stating its introduction as just after “the last of the Rare Monsters was revealed”, many, many rares have been released in the years after.
A formula about the feeding with food in each feeding can be found here.
Tribal Island is the only island where Congle sings. On this island, Congle sings "Come on, let's go" along with PomPom, except in a more masculine voice.
According to Maggie Park, the lyrics "Come on," like on the Continent and Party Island, is "an invitation because we want people to join us, and it's an invitation to participate and to come along for the ride".
Monsters can be fed above Level 20, and they can be fed with Shards, Coins, or Food.
Until the release of Fire Haven, the Fire Element, in the form of Kayna, was only available on Tribal Island. However, it cannot be used to breed on Tribal Island, as there is no Breeding Structure.
As of June 2024, Starpower can still only be used in the StarShop.
The tutorial video said that Tribal Island became available when Cold Island was purchased; this was later corrected with an annotation stating that it is unlocked at level 10.
Of all the islands that have been released, Tribal Island is the smallest island yet.
Initially, monsters could be fed with Diamonds instead of coins, food, or shards. This ability was removed in update 1.3.6., possibly to avoid accidental pressing of the button and wasting a large sum of diamonds that way.
Apparently, the player can earn more Starpower each week by participating in the same tribe a consecutive number of times without leaving.
The Monsters' idle animations appear to be sped up. Although normally monsters would mark with 70 half-notes per minute, which is the same as 140 quarter-notes per minute, it is different on Tribal Island because it appears as though the monsters are marking the beats by 120 quarter-notes per minute (which is the same as 60 half-notes per minute).
The Fire Haven trailer shows Tribal Island with sea. However, you can only see a sea in the original MSM during Earth Island's SummerSong and on Water Island.
At the release of Tribal Island, there would sometimes be a glitch where Dandidoo's sound would be swapped out with Tribal Island Dandidoo's demo sound recorded by David Kerr.
Lore-wise, the Monsters on this Island are not eating coins or shards when being fed, but rather stockpiling them to measure how prosperous their tribe is.[1]
According to the Conservatory's Monstroglyphics, a Colossal named Ahymnsa had a disagreement with Lanysta, the Colossal of The Colossingum, and had imbued its lifeforce into an island with an amber centerpiece that focused on harmony. This was Tribal Island, as it has an amber centerpiece (where Kayna is preserved/stands) and is focused on harmony (tribe feature).
It may also give the reason it has Monstroglyphics on it, and Kayna in amber, as the Monstroglyphics date back to the final days of the Dawn of Fire, which Kayna was the element of. When the era ended, Kayna may have found the island and wrote the glyphics about the Fire age. Kayna then somehow got stuck in the amber. However, the writer of the Monstroglyphics is unknown, and Kayna has no memories of how it got to Tribal Island.
It is impossible to have a Tribal Island without Kayna (whether in amber or not). It is also impossible to have a Tribal Island without one monster other than Kayna.
Tribal Island is the only island that has not gotten any new monsters on it since its release.
This also makes Tribal Island the only standard island to have not had any sort of update whatsoever. However, multiple patches and hotfixes have been released regarding issues surrounding Tribal Island.
Tribal Island is the only island where the currency counters for both Coins and Shards can be seen simultaneously, rather than one or the other. By extension, it is also the only island where the Diamonds counter cannot be seen.
Collecting the Daily Login Bonus on Tribal Island crashed the game at one point.
Despite not having a Castle, castle bass can still be heard in the Official Soundtrack.
A musical track sheet-like aura can be seen rotating around the base of your monster in the Tribe. This unique effect is also manifested in The Colossingum, around the base of the monster that is subject to perform a move during a battle.
The two islands are also the only islands with separate levels to gain other than the player's main level.
These effective details could potentially strengthen the ancient bond between Tribal Island and The Colossingum, knowing that they are the only two islands with it, and also knowing that there is already a great historic tale between the two.
Image of Tribal Island, displaying the tribe's name upon opening the map.
There is currently a glitch that may occur when opening the map on Tribal Island that causes it to display the name of the tribe in place of the monster collection counter. This is likely caused by the fact Tribal Island does not have a collection in the same way as many other islands do.
Since Tribal Island is a Colossal, Kayna may be its caretaker.
Attempting to place a monster on Tribal Island without any eligible monsters.
If you remove all common Naturals on all your other islands, (aside from Mimic and monsters on the Colossingum and Composer Island, as they are already ineligible to be placed in a Tribe) a message will appear in the place box where your monsters would normally be selected to join the Tribe saying that you have no eligible monsters and are unable to join any tribes.
Record[]
Ever since Tribal Island scores were made public at the end of each week, Tribes have been vying for the top weekly scores - at first requiring only that Tribe members feed their Monsters as much as possible, later requiring that Tribe members save up their in-game Currencies for as much as a year to feed their Monsters to very high levels just for that one week.
Note that there is no advantage to being the top Tribe. There are no additional Tribal rewards after level 1500, and more Star Power per feeding amount is rewarded for lower levels.

Note: To make it to a top Tribe, you will need a lot of in-game Currency. As an example, to get to a level of 20,000 (at the time of writing, roughly the record level) with the minimum amount of Currency spent per Tribe member, the tribe would need its maximum of 30 members each feeding to a level of 20,000 / 30 = 667. To get to level 667, you would need to spend a total of ~103,000,000 Shards or equivalent other Currencies. If you are currently in a Tribe where you barely get to level 100 every week (spending 348,100 Shards to do so), you would have to save up for 103,000,000 Shards / 348,100 Shards/week ~= 296 weeks (or roughly 6 years).
was introduced on August 6th, 2015, as part of Update 1.3.5.
