Noggin

The Noggin is a Natural monster that released on September 4th 2012 as a part of version 1.0.0. It is the first monster you get when you start playing the game.

In-game Bio

"Noggins are basically musical rocks. Deeply in tune with the earth, their simple rhythms echo an island's pulse. The sensation of reverberation produced by a Noggin motivates all other Monsters."

Sound

Noggin plays percussion instruments like the djembe, cajon, kick drum, doholla, and congas across all of its Islands.

Breeding

There is no specific breeding combination for Noggin, as it is a single elemental. Instead, you can obtain it by buying it in the market. However, if you have a Noggin on your island, you can breed it by breeding Noggin with any other monster. Breeding a Noggin with a quad element monster is guaranteed to give you a Noggin.
