“ | How do Zuukers stay warm? Their mostly featherless bodies would appear to have little insulation. These ingenious specimens breathe in through their mouths, warm the air inside, and pump out their signature drone through their blowholes, producing a nice and toasty sensation. That's also why Zuukers always appear red in the face. | ” |

Description[]
Zuuker is a Supernatural Monster exclusive to Wublin Island. It was added on April 29th, 2016 during Version 1.4.0. Zuuker is obtained by being purchased in the Market for 20,000 as an inactive statue, which can be woken up by zapping all required Monster Eggs into it. It has a decent currency production compared to other Wublins.
Song[]
Instrument: Electric kazoo
Performer: Dave Kerr
Zuuker's song is that of an electric sounding kazoo. As it plays, it also vibrates.
Breeding[]
Zuuker cannot be bred. Like all Wublins, it is bought at the Market as an inactive statue that must be woken up.
Powering Up[]
The allotted time to fill a Zuuker in order to activate is 10 days. If the inventory is not completed in the time the Zuuker resets to an empty statue and all eggs inside are lost. Eggs can be zapped from Mirror Islands instead of, or in conjunction with Natural Islands.

Filling In[]
Like other Wublins, Zuuker can instead be filled in with Diamonds. Each egg can be filled in for 30. Zuuker requires a total of 900 for all eggs to be filled.
Since all eggs have an equal Diamond fill cost, it is best to save your Diamonds for the Monsters that are harder to obtain. And oftentimes, it is cheaper to speed up eggs to zap from the Breeding Structure instead.
Wildcards may also be used when filling in a Zuuker's inventory. Similarly, it's best to save them for harder to obtain Monsters.
Income[]
- Main article: Wublins#Income
Zuuker, like other Wublins, can produce between 39,000 and 78,000 Coins, 7,200 and 14,400 Treats, and 144 and 288 Shards. As a Monster that takes up a 2x2 grid space, Zuuker produces 2 Diamonds. Wublins generate a random type of currency every 6 to 12 hours. This rate can be increased or decreased depending on Polarity.
Currency generation is calculated separately per Monster, so multiple Zuukers will receive more currency, and have a higher chance overall to obtain valuable Diamonds. For maximizing income across your Wublin Island, see Wublin Island Grid Planning.
Currency Distribution[]
- Main article: Wublins#Currency Type Distribution
The currency for Zuuker is randomly selected from the 4 currencies it can produce. The chances to get each currency are detailed below. Datapoints are the number of recorded collections; the higher number of datapoints, the more accurate the data is.
Coins | Treats | Shards | Diamonds | Datapoints |
---|---|---|---|---|
32.75% | 31.25% | 30.58% | 5.42% | 1,200 |
Please do not edit this table. The data is taken from the Wublins page, which is derived from a joint spreadsheet. You can share your data on its talk page. Note that only large sample sizes of data are valuable.
Polarity[]
All Wublins are affected by Polarity, a mechanic that modifies their currency rate similar to happiness for other Monsters. When a Wublin is placed near another Wublin they are positively charged towards, the time to produce currency will decrease by 25%. When placed near a Wublin they are negatively charged towards, the time to produce currency will increase by 25%. The Common variants can be used instead for Rare Wublins, but the effect will be half as strong. Rare variants can fully affect the polarity of a Common Wublin.
The following Wublins affect Zuuker's polarity:
Negatively affects Zuuker | Positively affects Zuuker |
---|---|
Screemu |
Maulch |
Zuuker also affects the polarity of the following Wublins:
Negatively affected by Zuuker | Positively affected by Zuuker |

Strategy[]
- The following section details strategy for powering up Zuuker, for general strategy that can apply to any Monster, see Zapping#Strategy
Zuuker can be powered up with just Cold Island unlocked. It can be powered up faster with more Islands unlocked, with Bonus Breeding Structures, or Enhanced Breeding Structures.
The following strategies require zapping Eggs twice per day, once in the morning and once at night. More than two Monsters may be included in a day if it has a lower breeding time. For Fwog, the player will need to return to the game to zap another in 30 minutes.
If you have just Plant and Cold Islands unlocked, breed:

Notes[]
- Zuuker's name is likely derived from the musical instrument Kazoo. Its name can be made by reversing the syllables of "kazoo". Its name may also be pronounced "Zuh-ker", referencing its duck/pelican like appearance. The latter half of the monster's name could also be referencing its performer's last name, Dave Kerr.
- Zuuker was teased on the loading screen featuring the Wublins, its head appearing at the bottom-left corner.
- Despite its posture, feet, and two pipes in the back looking similar to a Reedling, it actually doesn't require any Reedlings.
- The video teaser that went with the Facebook post of it shows a message that says "If it looks like a Wublin, and sounds like a Wublin...". The message itself is similar to "If it looks like a duck, and sounds like a duck", which also correlates to the duck-like appearance.
- It is possible to power up Zuuker without using speed-ups, Bonus Breeding Structures, Enhanced Breeding Structures, or Mirror Islands within the 10 days when using only Plant and Cold Islands.
- Zuuker is the first new Wublin to be added to the game, as the first five were released all at once.
- In all of the Monster Classes that have Rare subspecies, Zuuker is the oldest Monster to not have a Rare subspecies yet.
