Description[]
Ziggurab is a Triple-Elemental Monster that is first available at Level 3. It is best obtained by breeding Boskus and Noggin. Its breeding and incubation time is 8 hours long. It can be teleported to Party Island once fed to level 5 or Cloud Island at level 15.
Song[]
Instrument: Synthesized drum kit
Ziggurab's song utilizes a wide array of various electronic drum beats ranging from synthesizer presets to sampled audio. The upper layers of its body produce an electronic bass drum, while its claws produce an electronic snare drum. Its claws are also used to make a hi-hat sound, though as an adult, the upper claws fulfill this role.
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.
- Party Island
VST: Groove Agent 5
SoundFont: Grooving Future Kit 01
- Cloud Island
VST: HALion 6
Sound library: HALion Sonic Factory
SoundFont: Standard Dry Kit
The VST for Ziggurab on the Continent has not yet been found.

Feeding Monsters[]
Exclusively on Continent, Ziggurab will request for Crafting Items that are the products of Structures. If you cannot give the Monster the Crafting Items it requires, you can click the New Order button. After a 15 minute wait, it will ask for a new combination of Crafting Items.
Rewards[]
When given the wanted Crafting Item, like any Monster, it will reward you Coins,
Experience and will progress the Monster to the next Level. You can also give a Monster any other Crafting Item, but you won’t receive Coins or Experience for doing so.
Teleporting[]
Ziggurab can be teleported to Cloud Island when fed to Level 15 for a rewarding of 5 diamonds. Ziggurab can also be teleported to Party Island when fed to Level 5. Teleport time for Ziggurab is 20 hours for Cloud Island and 5 minutes for Party Island.

Notes[]
- Ziggurab's name is a portmanteau on Ziggurat (massive temples from the times of ancient Mesopotamia) and crab.
- Adult Ziggurab appears to be lighter in color in an update.
- Ziggurab had many designs before settling on its current baby and adult designs.[1]
- Like T-Rox in the original game, Ziggurab has an 8 hour breeding time instead of the 12 hour for triple elements. Again, like that T-Rox, it is the first triple element that is available.
- Ziggurab is very hard to hear on Cloud Island, as it plays quietly, and is drowned out by a similar-sounding Shellbeat. This is also true for Drummidary.
- The Continent is the only place where Ziggurab doesn't jump or use its feet at all.
- Ziggurab is the only monster on Party Island to play for the entire song.
- Ziggurab has the shortest breeding failure time out of any Triple-Element Monster in DoF.
