“

The eyeless Maw is a refined combination of Cold and Water elements. Its dense fur acts as a general sensory organ, and provides efficient insulation to maintain a liquid body interior. Maws are a little mouthy. Tonguey too.

”

Description

The Maw is a big, furry pink ball-like monster with red bumps on the side of its body, and yellow spots of fur on its top. It has a massive mouth with purple lips.

When idle, the Maw occasionally sticks out its large tongue and then pulls it back in, and sometimes it hops.

Song

Audio sample: File:Memory Audio DE.ogg

The Maw sings "deedee" with its mouth. Its sound can be easily distinguished amongst other monsters, and their contribution varies with each island. Their sound is pleasant, however it is difficult to describe in text.

The Maw also sings using syncopation, where it sings in a rhythm that is unusual to basic rhythms.

Breeding

The Maw can be produced by breeding monsters with the elements of Cold and Water.

Earning Rate and Maximum Income

Earning rate is in coins per hour and depends on Happiness % (Likes increase Happiness), also each monster has a limit to how much income it can hold at a time. Increasing the monster's level increases the limit.

Feeding Monsters

Each monster needs to be fed four times before it reaches the next level. Increasing the monster's level increases the coins earned per minute, as well as the maximum coins earned.  The food per level is the same for all double element monsters and can be found in this article.

Template:Likes While trying to breed other monsters (particularly monsters with a very low chance of breeding), the following Wublins can be used to "dispose of" Maw eggs immediately instead of putting them into a Nursery and having that Nursery not be available.

Monster Egg	Wublin 1	Wublin 2
Maw	Bona-Petite	Zynth
	10 eggs	1 egg

Note that bred monster eggs can only be "disposed of" into inactive Wublin statues; active Wublins do not accept monster eggs. Also note that inactive Wublin statues to which you have already disposed the number of Maw eggs that Wublin accepts, will no longer be available as a "recycle bin" for such eggs.

Strategy

Some items to take into consideration when designing your island by strategy are number of beds for the monster, rate of income per bed, max income per bed, and time for max income to be reached. The income below is for level 15:

Number of Beds	2
Rate of Income High	96
Rate of Income Low	48
Max Income	3,600
Rate of Income per Bed High	48
Rate of Income per Bed Low	24
Max Income per Bed	1,800
Time to Max Income @ High	37:30 minutes
Time to Max Income @ Low	1:15 hours

Name Origin

"Maw" is a synonym of "mouth", and relates to the monsters' main physical trait.

Rare Version

File:RareMawTrans.png

Rare Maw

Rares are special versions of monsters that are only available to buy and breed on weekends. Each weekend a different rare is available to buy or breed. The breeding combination is the same as a regular monster, but the breeding time is longer, the "likes" are different, and the earning rates are higher. They are not yet available in the Windows version of the game.

Find out more about the rare version of the Maw on the Rare Maw page.

Notes

• When a Maw sleeps, its mouth moves to look like it is snoring.

• The Maw's yellow spots disappear while it's in costume for Halloween; even the parts of its body that aren't covered don't show the spots.
• The Maw sounded different in the before-release advertisement.
• As with the Scups, Entbrat, T-Rox, Schmoochle, Noggin, Mammott, Riff, and a few DoF monsters, there is a concept drawing of the Maw.
• The Maw's mouth appears to go farther into its body than its body's actual size.
• The Maw, Potbelly, and Brump are the only monsters that don't have eyes.

Special Occasions

Halloween

During the Halloween season of October, all Maw (on all the islands) were dressed up with glasses, nose, and ears (similar to Groucho Marx) as part of the Plant Island Halloween celebration.

This costume did not appear in 2015 or 2016, though.
