Noggin

“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.”

Description

The Noggin is a small golem-like monster. Characteristic features include large green eyes, three-fingered humanoid hands and feet, a rocky outer texture, a completely flat head, and a severe underbite.

Interestingly, Noggins' hearing is very poor, owing mainly to the fact that they have no ears. Instead, this Monster is able to "hear" through sensitive receptors in their hands and feet, which pick up the tiniest vibrations. In this way, a Noggin is able to rhythmically follow the heartbeat of the island and reproduce it by tapping its fingers on the hollow top of its flat head.

When the monster is idle, it stays in tempo by briefly stroking its fingers across its head and slowly stomping its feet.

Song

Audio sample: File:Memory Audio C.ogg

The Noggin Monster's contribution to an island's song is a percussive tapping, similar to the skin of a bongo being struck with a drumstick. Their hands beat a rhythm onto the top of their heads.

Breeding

The Noggin is the first monster available for purchase in the market. They can also be produced by breeding an unstable combination between a Noggin and another monster.

Every monster has different things that they like. For every unique object that they like that's placed near the monster, the monster's happiness will increase by 25% (in other words, placing two of the same liked item near a monster will still only increase happiness by 25%).

Name Origin

"Noggin" is a slang for head. As this monster is mostly head with almost no sign of limbs, its name might come from this informal word.

Notes

The Noggin was called the "BumperStumper" in early plans for the game. By the time the game was released, they changed his name.
The Noggin is the very first monster you get in the game, creating a foundation for new monsters.
The Noggin has the highest rate of income per bed of the pure-breed natural monsters.
